My Coping Cards Information

My Coping Cards™ are 72 small, laminated index cards that contain phrases or short sentences for use when experiencing anxiety. The cards are portable reminders to boss back anxiety and negative self-talk. Attempting to visualize and thought-stop in the moment is difficult without a lot of repetition and training as the mind’s not so good at staying quiet. That’s why pre-prepared coping statements written on My Coping Cards™ that people physically carry with them makes quite a bit of sense. Whenever negative self-talk gets you down, pull out My Coping Cards™ and read your positive affirmations or motivational sayings until you feel better. If you feel stressed out, try an activity for a few moments until the anxiety subsides. It sounds too simple to work, but it does work. Coping statements are truthful, positive statements used to replace the intrusive thoughts that take-over when you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, angry and/or when facing other overwhelming situations. Physical activity can snap you out of a sedentary state, get your blood flowing and help clear your head. That, along with verbalizing your coping statements, can help you calm down and stay in control. They offer reassurance that you can make it through any difficult period. With these cards on your person at all times, you can pull it out and read the statements to yourself whenever you need to – no memory required.
