Grounding

A quick way to bring your attention back to the here and now.

  1. 5things you can see
  2. 4things you can feel
  3. 3things you can hear
  4. 2things you can smell
  5. 1thing you can taste

Go slowly. There is no need to get every step ‘right’. The point is simply to notice what’s around you.

If this makes you feel worse, stop and choose something else that feels steadier.
