Grounding Techniques 

  • Set Bare Feet on Ground - Whether you're sitting & digging your toes into the dirt or walking through the grass, connecting with the earth will help ground your emotions.

  • Put Hand(s) in Running Water - Either from a tap or a stream, concentrating on the feeling of water running over your skin will distract you from the problem at hand.

  • Concentrate on the 5 Senses -Find 5 things you see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can see and 1 thing you can taste. This will bring you to the present moment.

  • Body Scan - Close your eyes and feel all the different parts of your body, 1 at a time.

  • Mindful Eating - Have something to eat and concentrate kn the food itself. What are the different flavours? Are there different textures?

  • Breathe Deeply - Slowly breathing in your nose and out your mouth will help to calm your mind.
