🌿 Mindfulness Tip of the Week: The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Exercise
Whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or need a quick mental reset, try this easy grounding exercise.
It brings your focus back to the present moment and helps calm your mind.
How To:
1. Look Around and name 5 things you can SEE.
It could be anything—your coffee cup, a picture on the wall, the sky outside.
Take a moment to see each item.
2. Focus on 4 things you can FEEL.
This might be the texture of your shirt, the ground under your feet, or the feeling of your breath.
3. LISTEN for 3 sounds around you.
They might be distant or close—just let them come to you.
4. NOTICE 2 things you can smell.
If nothing strong is around, you may need to take a deep breath or imagine your favorite scents.
5. ACKNOWLEDGE 1 thing you can taste.
You can take a sip of tea, bite something, or notice the taste in your mouth.
This exercise takes only a few minutes and can be done anytime, anywhere.
It’s a quick way to bring calm and focus back to your day.
