Are you feeling anxious or stressed? The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a grounding exercise that can be done anywhere and any time. It can help to manage stress, anxiety, and emotions. This exercise is also a great way to break the cycle of the scroll and bring yourself back into the real world.
It requires no supplies or pre-planning, just your mind! Grounding exercises are mindfulness or self awareness tools that can help to calm anxious thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.
The walk-through of the exercise begins around 15 minutes in. Everything before that is great too but I know everyone's time is important 😄
