Easy & Fun to make ! Left- Textured Bead // Right- Smooth bead |
Have you ever felt like you needed to take a break but couldn't? This fun and easy to make Worry Bracelet can assist in those tough to cope moments where coping skills may be limited. Similar to a fidget ring, the LARGE bead at the end of the strand is meant to provide soothing relief during stressful or anxiety provoking situations (Add a textured bead for more sensory activation). Paired with deep breathing and a personal Mantra, this creative activity can be used anywhere and is great for those classroom or work jitters. Simply wrap the strand around your wrist when not in use, and unravel when your warning signs begin to creep up!
Other benefits include practice with bilateral and fine motor skill coordination, creative expression, patience and self regulation skills teaching. The bracelet making can be utilized as a conversation provoking activity to make those hard to have talks seem less stressful in order to promote trust and rapport.
Don't have a mantra? Use one of these or create your own!
