Grounding skills can help you reconnect with the present moment when anxiety feels intense or overwhelming.
A simple place to start is noticing five things you can see, four things you can feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
Slow breathing, gentle movement, and naming what is happening in the moment can also help create a little more space between you and anxious thoughts.
