Mind Monsters Card Deck: Conquering Cognitive Chaos With The Help Of Cute Monsters
Hello and Namaste!
I’m George Watts, a seasoned is BWY yoga teacher and the mastermind behind the Online Yoga Lesson Planner. After spending over a decade channeling my inner yogi to write hundreds of yoga blog posts on this site, I decided to take on my biggest challenge yet: my own adult ADHD.
So, being a yoga card deck creator, I created the Mind Monsters Card Deck—a playful ADHD toolkit with cute monsters designed to help me (and others) wrangle the wild thoughts of cognitive chaos with a wink and a smile. If you can’t outsmart your ADHD, you might as well outplay it!

You can print the cards from your printer at home or send them to a local or online printer to print (you’ll only need to print 15 pages).

These files are for your personal use only—kind of like your secret stash of chocolate. If you’re a therapist, feel free to use them in your sessions to help your clients. But remember, they’re not for commercial use, reselling, or redistributing. So, no turning them into a side hustle unless you give me all your chocolate!
