Grounding and Centering Techniques

Try the 5-4-3-2-1 method

Use your senses to list things you notice around you. For example, you may start by listing:

five things you hear

four things you see

three things you can touch from where you’re sitting

two things you can smell

one thing you can taste

Become aware of the little things you might not always pay attention to, such as the color of the colors in the area around you or the background sounds of your environment.

Hold Space & Focus

Select an item in your office or home: something you find motivating or attractive looking. Hold the object in your hand, completely focusing on it. Consider these questions? How does it feel in your hand(s)? What is the shape? Does it have a pattern? Does it cast a shadow? How do you feel when you are holding the object? What other questions do you have about the object? This exercise is easily accomplished anywhere. If you have a stressful scenario approaching consider holding a favorite object in your pocket as a reminder of its calming effect
