Feeling overwhelmed? Try the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method.
This simple mindfulness tool helps calm your nervous system and bring your mind back to the present moment.
Here’s how it works:
• 5 things you can see — notice the colors, shapes, and light around you.
• 4 things you can touch — feel the texture of your clothing, chair, or floor.
• 3 things you can hear — listen closely to nearby sounds or distant ones.
• 2 things you can smell — take a deep breath, notice familiar scents.
• 1 thing you can taste — sip water, tea, or simply focus on your breath.
Grounding techniques like this retrain your mind to pause, notice, and reset.
Sometimes peace begins by noticing where you already are.
