5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Exercise
In this video, Diana McCue, LMSW explains the concept of grounding, and how we can become more present in the moment and in our environment. She explains how grounding techniques can help us re-focus on the here and now, particularly in moments of stress or anxiety. Diana leads us in the "five senses" exercise and asks us to notice how the exercise affects us and grounds us in the moment.
Grounding Can help reduce anxiety and increase awareness of the present moment.
Grounding is one of many coping skills you can learn to reduce anxiety, fears, worries, and to become more focused and aware of the present.
