It’s World Mental Health Day. When your thoughts are racing, the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 technique can help you feel more grounded in the moment. You can use it anywhere, and nobody needs to know you’re doing it.
Notice:
5 things you can see
4 things you can feel
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste
Many people find that turning their attention to their senses helps them feel calmer and more settled. Save this so it’s there when you need it.
