Calm-Me-Downs: A Helpful Resource to Manage Your Anxiety and Depression

By Kristin Leigh Olson

Learn How to Calm Yourself Down
Follow therapeutic calm-me-downs activities that include multiple art therapy techniques. Make your very own custom toolboxes for self-care and coping with anxiety, depression, and/or hypomania. These toolboxes will help you manage your current situation when you are in dire need or when doing day-to-day mood maintenance. Activities include: pick a word to motivate yourself, then make a bucket list of what you want to do to achieve that word/goal. Create meaningful collages, such as: gratitude, why you are a treasure, and goals for the week/month/year. Write a letter to your diagnosis, and free-write a poem of feeling(s). Also includes simple art projects for self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love. Give yourself permission to be imperfect, and let go of what never served you. The intent of this book is to help you focus on what makes you happy and come up with solutions to counteract what is making you unhappy and be kind to yourself. Define what love is to YOU, and what you are thankful for.
