Anxiety → Action: The Worry Deck

$30.00

Anxiety doesn't fight fair. It hits you right before a presentation, during a quiet moment in class, or when a simple text message sends your mind spiraling. You can't just "stop worrying." You need to change the channel.

Anxiety → Action delivers 52 evidence-based cards to help you stop the spiral: reality checks to challenge the fear, micro-steps to break the paralysis, and grounding prompts to get you out of your head.

It works whenever the worry starts: before a big talk, during a social freeze, or when overthinking takes over. Pick a card, take the step, and break the loop.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this deck designed for?
The deck is primarily designed for youth aged 13-19. However, the strategies inside are universal and can be helpful for young adults and even adults looking for simple, actionable mental wellness tools.
Is this a replacement for therapy or professional medical advice?
Absolutely not. This deck is a supportive tool for managing day-to-day feelings and building healthy coping skills. It is not a substitute for professional mental health care. The included guidebook provides clear information on when and how to seek help from a trusted adult or professional.
What kind of strategies are on the cards?
The 50 cards are divided into several categories, including grounding exercises (like the 5-4-3-2-1 method), simple breathing techniques, journaling prompts for self-reflection, cognitive reframing questions to challenge anxious thoughts, and peer-to-peer affirmations that feel genuine and supportive.
Is there a "right" way to use the cards?
No, there's no right or wrong way! You can pull a card at random when you're feeling overwhelmed, browse through the deck to find a specific strategy that fits your mood, or pick a card at the start of your day to set an intention. The goal is for it to feel helpful to you.
