Stay Calm
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where were you, and what were you sipping or snuggled under, when you read Stay Calm? Did the setting you picked match the book's mood?
What's one small thing, like a smell, a song, or a certain blanket, that helps you feel calm when a day gets loud?
Was there a moment in the book that made you slow down and take a breath? What was it about that moment that settled you?
The title sounds like simple advice, but staying calm isn't always easy. Did the book make you feel more gentle toward yourself on the days you can't manage it?
Who in your life has been a calm presence for you, and did anything in the book remind you of them?
Did reading this feel more like a warm hug, a quiet walk, or a deep exhale? What made you pick that one?
Thinking about the whole book, how did your feelings shift from the first pages to the last? Did you close it feeling any different from when you opened it?
If you could pass along one feeling or idea from Stay Calm to someone going through a hard season right now, what would it be, and who would you give it to?
