Calming the Storm
Gather a calm kit, find a bag you like or can decorate and choose four or five things to put in it. You can choose things like a cushion to hold or lie on, a smooth stone to hold, something special that was given to you by someone who is important to you, the words of a favourite prayer, happy song or a poem that makes you feel positive . When you feel under pressure, worried or upset choose one thing from your bag to hold while you breath slowly and remember a time when you felt safe and calm. When you are ready replace it and if you want to choose another. You can do this as many times as you like.
