Connect with your senses
In times of stress and anxiety, sometimes getting ourselves grounded is the best starting point. The 54321 Grounding strategy is one to remember. Focusing on your senses (what you can see, hear, feel, smell, etc) will help you stay grounded in the present moment. Use the video below to walk you through the exercise.
Note: It’s okay if you don’t have access to all five senses. Feel free to use whatever senses work best for you to find a cool calm.

Take a moment to breathe
If you’re in a moment of crisis, it’s crucial to make sure you can find your breath. Taking a few moments to focus on your breathing when you’re in crisis, if you’re feeling a ping of anxiety, or if you’re suddenly feeling overwhelmed can work wonders.
Use this video to guide your breathing. And, pass it on to a friend who could use it too.
