Here are **10 simple, effective things you can do when you feel activated** (anxious, overwhelmed, triggered) to help your nervous system settle and get grounded again:

1. **Name 5–4–3–2–1**

* Name **5 things you see**
* **4 things you feel**
* **3 things you hear**
* **2 things you smell**
* **1 thing you taste**
This pulls your attention out of your head and into the present moment.

2. **Slow your exhale**

* Inhale for **4**
* Exhale for **6–8**
Longer exhales tell your body it’s safe.

3. **Put your feet on the floor**

* Press your feet firmly into the ground.
* Imagine roots growing from them into the earth.

4. **Temperature reset**

* Hold something cold (ice, cold can, cold water on wrists).
* Or splash cool water on your face.

5. **Orient to the room**

* Slowly look around and name where you are, the date, and that you’re safe right now.

6. **Move your body gently**

* Stretch, shake out your hands, roll your shoulders, or take a short walk.
* Even 30 seconds helps release stored activation.

7. **Self-talk for safety**

* Say (out loud if you can):
*“I’m safe right now. This will pass. My body is responding, not failing.”*

8. **Engage your senses**

* Smell something grounding (coffee, essential oil).
* Wrap yourself in a blanket.
* Hold a textured object.

9. **Humming or vocalizing**

* Hum, sigh, or gently sing.
* This stimulates the vagus nerve and calms the nervous system.

10. **Micro-connection**

* Text someone safe.
* Sit near a pet.
* Even remembering someone supportive can reduce activation.

💛 **Important reminder:** Activation is your body trying to protect you—not something you’re doing wrong. Grounding is about *support*, not forcing calm.
