This one takes about 30 seconds and works anywhere.
When your mind is busy or your body feels tense, try this:
1) Feel your feet
Notice the contact with the floor.
Weight. Pressure. Stability.
2) Feel your breath
Just one slow inhale and one slow exhale.
Nothing fancy.
3) Feel one solid thing
Your chair. Your phone. Your clothes.
Something real in your hands or against your body.
That’s it.
You’ve just brought your nervous system back into now.
Why it works:
Stress pulls attention into the future or the past.
Grounding brings it back into the body - which is where safety lives.
Try it once today.
Or ten times.
No need to report back unless you want to.
Breathe easy,
Julian
