Sunny Present Stress Less Cards - 50 Inspirational Mindfulness & Meditation Exercises to Relieve Feelings of Stress and Anxiety

I would highly recommend these cards, either for personal use or for use with a client group. Good size cards, easy to handle and the mindfulness suggestions are unique, useful and fun! Love them, as do the clients I work with!

Firstly, the pretty design wins me over completely.But I have an extremely stressful life (my own fault) and I struggle to take time out from daily stresses.I’ve had these cards a few days now and I’ve made it my mission to try at least 2-3 of them a day. I have never felt so Zen in all my life. My stress levels are reduced significantly. It takes barely any time out of the day to practice the exercises on the cards.I was sceptical, but I love these cards.

I ordered these for a friend and took a little peep at the cards. The ones I saw were so good that I've got these cards on my wish list for the next time I place an order as I'd like these for myself. Similar to these is the jar of mindfulness exercises which I would also like to have. Time to become my own best friend and treat myself. I can't remember the exercises I read but I do remember the feeling of connecting with them and how they would help at difficult times or on difficult days. I think it's a brilliant idea to get us to take a moment out of our day to consider the flow of life and how even difficult times pass eventually or we find ways of coping and get better at distancing ourselves in order to remain calm.

In terms of finding ways to unwind after a stressful day at work and finding ways to learn to appreciate yourself and the simple things in life, then these cards are pretty good. There are a number of exercises which I find to be helpful and I have also brought this product for a friend who has a stressful job. The exercises range from monitoring your breathing, writing down the things you have done that day and lots of closing your eyes and imagining yourself somewhere else.Speaking as someone who has a diagnosed long-term mental health condition and as a Mental Health First Aider, then I would have little hesitation in recommending these for anyone who is prone to stress. Whilst stress in itself is not an official medical condition, it can lead to poor mental health or worsen pre-existing conditions (physical or mental), so it is good to learn how best to manage it. However, given that a high number of these cards are of the 'close your eyes and think of something for 5-10 minutes' variety, I am more inclined to use them to help unwind in the evenings alongside other techniques that are taught in talking therapies (e.g CBT) rather than on the go. These cards are the size of playing cards, so are perfect for carrying around, but if I really needed inspiration whilst at my desk or whilst queueing at the supermarket (as advised is possible on the packaging), I'm really not going to get the cards out of my bag and find an exercise that does not encourage me to close my eyes and think of my happy place for 5-10 minutes during that big work presentation or whilst the checkout assistant is throwing my groceries down the counter for me to bag up. The app (details of getting it are included in the box) may be more helpful in this regard, but I have not tried the app, so don't wish to make any promises here.One thing I should point out though is that these cards should not be treated as a miracle cure for mental health issues. If you find that your stress levels are still high or that it is impacting on your day-to-day life significantly, then please do not be afraid to seek out help from a doctor or from places like Mind. These cards are great to be used alongside any professional help you are given but should not be a substitute for medical attention if that is what you really need.Overall I would say these cards are good for managing mild to moderate signs of stress or mental ill health, but I advise you to be realistic about how they can be used and not to expect to be able to use them in all the contexts advised by the company who have manufactured these.

The cards have a nice pattern on the front, Personally they are too big for me to naturally shuffle them, The written language is very Americanised. There have nice kind words but not very enlightening. I would not recommend these to a friend.

Such a cute little set. Packaging was perfect and a nice size. Bought these for my teen daughter who laughed a lot about the little sayings so either way great stress reliever . Highly recommend

These are an amazing little set of cards although much smaller than I had expected for the price. As the box is a very compact size they can easily fit into a handbag. These cards have encouraging and uplifting words for thought. It is necessary to use them on a daily basis for to be most effective.

Excellent cards that I work through on a daily basis. Makes it a bit fun too, working through one card in one day not knowing what the task will be. The cards resemble a pack of playing cards in size and shape. Easy to carry around and use when waiting in a queue or the such like. I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again.
