If your day feels a little chaotic, here’s your gentle nudge to pause, ground, and reset even if it’s just for 2 minutes.
Try this powerful combo:
🧘♀️ Step 1: The “Physiological Sigh”
This simple breathing pattern tells your nervous system: You’re safe. It’s okay to calm down.
👉 Take two short inhales through your nose (the second one slightly smaller)
👉 Exhale slowly through your mouth like a sigh
Repeat this 2-3 times.
This resets carbon dioxide in your body and signals calm in seconds.
🌍 Step 2: The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique
When your mind is racing or you feel out of sorts, try this sensory reset:
- 5 things you can see
- 4 things you can touch
- 3 things you can hear
- 2 things you can smell
- 1 thing you can taste
It pulls you out of spiraling thoughts and gently brings you back to now.
