Your Woosah Cards
In your gorgeous deck of Woosah Cards…..there are 3 different colours.
Each has a different meaning…….
The BLUE are an INTRO
The GREEN are a GUIDE to each item ( a card per item) to give you
some ideas as to how to use…..
The PINK are MINDFUL ACTIVITIES and there are LOADS…….
So pick a card and read it, shuffle them and play a game……pick 1 as
a team and do before, during or at the end of a meeting (before really
raises the energy & atmosphere increasing productivity and engagement)
or take one per pair / per person.
Use these if you are a manager, a colleague, a parent, a partner,
a person. They’re simple, but effective and everything is built on
neuroscience……so they’re proven to work
The Woosah Puzzle Cube
Isn’t this the most BEAUTIFUL Puzzle Cube you’ve ever seen?
For most of us it’s almost impossible to solve HOWEVER, it can be done!
This is great to figit with or play with at heightened times of stress,
anxiety or worry. Really focus on the objective…..to win.
It will help you re-take control over those emotions that are trying to
override you – naughty naughty!!.
Everyone will want one after they see yours.
You #TrendSetter you!
Woosah Dream Board
This AMAZING pad is full of options. Its designed on the concept of a bucket list. By writing things down we have a focus,
when we break big goals, aspirations / dreams down into achievable steps we are more likely to accomplish and succeed.
The MORE we achieve, the better we feel and the more resilience we develop. It’s all about outlook and planning.
Complete a page focused on something thats coming up….for example that presentation you want to nail, how you want
your next 121 to go, that all time important pay rise conversation…or that promotion?
Complete it from the perspective of your role or career, or as a team and
what you want to achieve together, OR complete it for your personal goals. You have LOADs of pages so the options are ENDLESS…..
Why not help someone else complete it? Are you a mental health first AIDER supporting someone? A line manager? A coach? HR?
Why not use it to encourage incentives….each team member completes
one each week, month or quarter and for everything they achieve….. they get a contribution to achieving something significant? get some
healthy competition going?
OR…. WHAT ABOUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY? The kids? Making time to do things together, to support each other in achieving goals? How AWESOME would that be?
The 5 Minute
Woosah Plan Pad
This GORGEOUSLY clever pad is based on a cognitive behavioral
therapy principle..
Feel.
Acknowledge.
Work it through.
As humans we can often get overwhelmed or sometimes we just need
to refocus. This pad is designed to help you work out how you get back
to feeling the best you can at the moment.
You can do it by yourself, with a friend a manager, a colleague, you
could do it as part of a team exercise, in 121s or coaching sessions.
Got a teenager? Teach them to manage their mind and get them to start
completing a page as and when they need to.
This is all about mind over matter.
Try it…..it WORKS!!!!
The Woosah Figit Cube
& WoosahTangle Puzzle
Figiting is jam packed full of goodness.
If you are someone who always finds themselves clicking pens or folding
packets then these are the perfect items for you. WAY less annoying,
ergonomic, discreet and effective.
Figiting is so good for you, especially when it’s important for you to listen.
Why? Well! When we figit with a sensory item such as these, it stimulates
our neurotransmitters that sharpen our senses. This naturally then increases
our attention and thus improves dramatically our ability to retain information.
The Woosah Tangle Puzzle is ALSO a puzzle – so can you get it aligned back
into a little cup shape? It’s SO satisfying to do!
Us Human Beings are SO CLEVER. Simple effective ways are always the
best and these prove it.
Figiting is also great for enabling us to exert energy in a dynamic and
discreet way AND its also amazing for strengthening our hands and
keeping our precious digits flexible
which is really important but often overlooked!
Woosah Sticky Notes
Taking 10 to think about someone else, we mean, to REALLY think about how
wonderful they are is GREAT for your wellbeing, heart, soul and mind BUT
also for them.
When we do something kind for others it makes us feel good.
Its a simple way to build relationships, make someone else’s day and boost your
endorphins.
There are 5 different colours with 5 different messages on. 4 of the messages are
for others, 1 is multipurpose because you can use it for yourself or someone else.
These gorgeous sticky notes are perfectly discreet and deliver high impact.
We want to challenge you to pop these in the most creative and thoughtful places
/ positions you can think of. Have some fun.
Put a real smile on someones face
today. You don’t know how much it could mean to them!!
Woosah Sticks
Woosah Sticks are SO multifunctional……
Play them by yourself or with another or others…….
create a championship, a league…….this is not an easy game to play.
Place them in a heep and try to remove one without moving the others…..if
you do miss a go or give your stick back. Create your OWN RULES!
Why are these awesome for us?
Well……its incredibly good at bringing real quietness and focus
instantaneously. Its very hard to do and requires practice. its extremely
satisfying to win and to play.
These are BRILLIANT for aiding “Difficult” conversations because it allows
you to talk and discuss things at a relaxed pace without much eye contact
which often intensifies a neggy atmosphere.
Every manager and mental health first AIDER should have these in their tool
kits because they can completely change the atmosphere and dynamic of
upsetting / challenging conversations for the better.
Woosah Visualisation
Stickers
As humans we are impacted by different things which trigger different emotions,
thoughts, behaviours
The incredibly QUIRKY stickers are to provide you with the opportunity to create a really unique,
personal and effective anchor for happiness and loveliness.
Pop one on your pad, diary / workstation or give to someone else on a card or give to
the kids to create you a picture for your desk or locker…..
Quieten your mind and focus. Really think about what the sticker makes
you think about….only happy and positive emotions allowed though.
Practice real mindfulness. Creativity is GREAT for your brain. Fantasize
about having slippers that make you fly, where would you go? why? what magic adventure would you create for yourself?
The trick with these is that the more you put in – the more you get out
Do this activity by yourself, with your team, with your friend. Have some fun.
Discuss and enjoy. Why not try these in a team building event and get
everyone to create an incredible moment they can share with everyone else?
Itll be a meeting they never forget!
Woosah Stress Dice
These stress dice are SO FUN!
Squeeeeeeeze them and vent that frustration or help you to manage your
breathing by pulse holding in time with your breath (eg – squeeze for 3 seconds
release and repeat)
FIGIT with them OR……
Roll them and take the action
Play a game in a meeting or team where the speaker has to start or end their bit
with a roll of the dice……make meetings more interactive…..and FUN!
Play with these by yourself or integrate into everyday activities…….
Use the time that you need effectively
See where one question or action takes you? Let us know!
REMEMBER……
WE ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE and content when our wellbeing is
mindful and puts us back in the driving seat of ourselves.
Anxiety is TOTALLY normal – we all have it – its designed to keep us
alive! But as most of us aren’t running around in vine leaves like we were a long long time ago (well maybe n the odd weekend?) we don’t
need it like we used to. Life is very different today and so we need to reprogram ourselves. We need to ensure that we manage our mind
and emotions and the more EFFECTIVE we are at this, the more RESILIENT we become.
Its TOTALLY possible. It TOTALLY works. Its NEUROSCIENCE not
Rocket Science. We all get 1 HUMAN life. This stuff will help you to
get the most out of it.
Our ambition is to change the look and feel of mental health,
to encourage people to take a proactive approach to self regulation
and to promote mindful wellbeing.
It’s TRANSFORMED our lives and we want to help you on your journey.
Keep in touch – share your ideas and experiences, we want to create
a community FULL of inspirational Woosah-Ites!!
