Calm Prompt Cards
A set of calming prompt cards that use a mixture of irony, philosophical insight and strategic pessimism to lend perspective on life's sorrows and regrets.
It isn't that we ever forget the value of calm, just that losing our composure is a constant risk. Every day brings with it new temptations to lose our tempers: the behaviour of partners, colleagues, children - and computers. Fresh distractions, worries and fears arise which leave us feeling stressed and unsettled.
This small pack of prompt cards contains a collection of different observations and ideas to help us handle these frustrations. Through ironic humour, consoling cultural references, and a small amount of pessimistic wisdom, they help to summon up our best and calmest selves.
60 cards in box | 104mm x 73mm x 36mm
