Emotion Regulation Cards:

Printable Tools for Emotional Self-Care

Free

These printable and digital cards by Dr. Megan Anna Neff provide practical, sensory-based strategies for calming your nervous system and managing emotional intensity.

Organized into five categories—Relaxation, Mindfulness, Grounding, Sensory Soothers, and Distress Tolerance—each card teaches a simple, evidence-based way to self-regulate.

You’ll learn how to slow your breathing, ground through texture awareness, engage your senses, and practice self-compassion statements in moments of overwhelm. The cards can be printed for easy use or saved digitally as wallpapers, journal prompts, or mobile reminders.
