ROOTED by Skin Elixir: Self-Regulation Cards

10 self-regulation techniques. Because affirmations don't work when your nervous system is in fight-or-flight.

ROOTED cards aren't about who you should be. They're about what to DO when stress, anxiety, or overwhelm hits.

Not affirmations. Instructions.

Handmade in Nottingham. Self-care that's helpful, not performative.
