Calm Your Mind Right Now (5-4-3-2-1 Technique)

This grounding exercise helps bring you back to the present moment:

  1. 5 things you can SEE - Look around and name them
  2. 4 things you can TOUCH - Feel the texture of your clothes, a wall, your phone
  3. 3 things you can HEAR - Traffic, birds, your breath
  4. 2 things you can SMELL - Fresh air, coffee, soap
  5. 1 thing you can TASTE - A mint, water, gum

Repeat this as many times as you need. You're safe. You're here. You're going to be okay.
