Build your own
My coping toolkit
When you’re overwhelmed, it’s hard to think of what helps. So let’s build the list now, while things are calmer — a set of go-to moves you can reach for on a hard day.
How to use this
Go through each group below and tap the ideas that work for you — or that you’d like to try. Add your own in the box. When you’re done, print your toolkit card and keep it somewhere easy to find.
Sensory
Things you can feel, smell, hear, taste or see that settle your body.
Social
Reaching for people — even in a small way.
Movement
Letting your body move some of the feeling out.
Creative
Making something, in any form, to give the feeling somewhere to go.
Cognitive
Ways to shift or steady your thinking.
