Try these grounding techniques to reset your mind:

Something that starts with...

Name something that you see that starts with each letter of the alphabet.

Belly Breathing

Object Focus

Hold an item in your hand. Put all of your attention on just this one item. Notice everything there is to notice about it. What colors do you see? What texture does the object have? Does it make a sound? How does it feel in your hand? Notice everything.

Make Yourself Laugh

Make up a silly joke — the kind you’d find on a candy wrapper or popsicle stick.

Watch a Cute Video

You might also make yourself laugh by watching your favorite funny animal video, a clip from a comedian or TV show you enjoy, or anything else you know will make you laugh.

Name 5 Things...

Name 5 things you see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you smell, 2 things you can touch, and 1 thing you can taste.

You can also name 5 colors you see, 4 shapes you see, 3 soft things you see, 2 people you see, 1 book you see.
