This Mental Health Month, we’re sharing simple strategies that can help you feel calm and present when life feels overwhelming.


One of the most effective tools is the 5 Senses Grounding Technique. It’s a quick way to bring your attention back to the here and now, using what you can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste.


When anxiety or stress takes over, grounding can help you:

  • Slow down racing thoughts

  • Feel more in control of your body

  • Anchor yourself in the present moment


That’s why we’ve created a free 5 Senses Grounding Worksheet. It guides you through noticing:

👀 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

This simple activity can be done anywhere; at home, at work, or even in public when you need a quick reset.
