Drop An Anchor With ACE

Dropping an Anchor is a way of holding yourself steady when you experience intense emotions, difficult thoughts or memories. Anchor-dropping exercises can be as short as 10 seconds or as long as 10 minutes, and you can do them any time, any place — no matter what you’re feeling.

This mindfulness-based ‘ACE’ exercise will guide you to:

A: acknowledge your thoughts and feelings
C: connect with your body
E: engage in what you’re doing.

This guided practice will help you become familiar with the process so you can Drop an Anchor wherever and whenever you are.
