Here's an Activity for You!

This is a powerful technique that helps you root yourself in the here and the now, where you feel safe. All you need to do is to rely on your sensory organs. Take a deep breath and let it out, and then begin.

​

From the environment around you,

​

Name FIVE things you can see.

Name FOUR things you can feel.

Name THREE things you can hear.

Name TWO things you can smell.

Name ONE thing you can taste.

​

You may write this cue down in your journal, print it out, or write it on a sticky note and place it where you can access it when you need it. Breathe deeply through it all.
