For those times when our mind wanders into the void of worry and uncertainty, when our tempers are just boiling under our skin, and when the lack of control, we feel overtakes us. We need practical and tangible stress relief activities to implement in the moment and shift us back into the present.
Here is an exercise that you can do when you want to come back to the present and lessen feelings of anxiety:
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique
This is to bring your focus from your mind to your physical body. Look around and name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear 2 things you can smell 1 thing you can taste. Finding that overwhelming? Just focus on 3 of each. 3 things you can see, you can feel, you can hear, you can smell and you can taste. The key is to bring awareness to your physical body to bring you out of your overthinking and anxiety.
