Three cards for when you can't think straight
A free mini version of Seeds of Calm. Read the one that sounds like you, do what it says, and put your phone down. It takes about four minutes.
Overwhelm doesn't feel the same every time
Some days you're frozen. Some days your brain won't slow down long enough to finish a thought. Some days you're managing fine and being vicious to yourself about it.
Those need different things. Here's one card for each.
When your shoulders are up by your ears and you didn't notice
My Body Knows How to Relax
When your brain is moving too fast to finish a thought
Not Every Thought is True
When you'd never speak to anyone else the way you're speaking to yourself
I Deserve the Same Care I Give Others
What's actually in it
Three full cards. Not previews. The same cards that are in the deck, with all four steps: ground, reframe, act, reflect.
Built for a phone. One card per screen, nothing to scroll, nothing to print unless you want to.
Three lockscreens. So the one you need most is already there when you pick up your phone.
A printable version too, if you'd rather have it on paper.
Who this is from
I'm Rebecca. I've spent close to ten years facilitating peer support, which mostly means sitting with people on their worst days and learning what actually helps in the moment versus what only helps in hindsight.
Almost everything that works is simple. The problem is that simple things are impossible to remember when you're overwhelmed, which is a design problem, not a willpower problem. So I made the cards.
No app, no subscription, no one asking how you're doing on a scale of one to ten.
