5 4 3 2 1

The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a great tool for releasing anxiety and grounding yourself. It is meant to be used the moment you start to feel extreme anxiety and can be done wherever you are. You simply name five things you can see in the space around you, four things you can touch (and actually touch them), three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This is a powerful tool!
