Description

When anxiety spikes, your nervous system needs a fast, body-based signal that you are safe. This practice uses the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding method — one of the most effective tools from trauma-informed care — adapted into a gentle three-minute ritual you can use anywhere, anytime.

You don’t need to feel calm to start. You just need to start.
