2024 - Week 41 - A Simple Practice

This is an episode where I share a simple practice you can use to stay grounded.

If you are new to my podcast, welcome! If you’ve been listening, I say thank you. I say thank you to anyone that takes the time to listen. I appreciate you!

There is a grounding technique that helps with anxiety and connecting you to the present moment. It's called the 5 4 3 2 1 Technique. It’s one I know and use, so I thought I would share it with you so it may be something you can put in your practice toolkit.

Here's an example how it goes.

Notice

5 things you see.

• I see rosebushes, river, birch trees, a red cardinal, a lounge chair, and a white truck

4 things you touch:

• My chair

• My hand to my heart

• My cell phone

• My yoga mat

3 things you hear

• Cars passing by

• Someone cutting their

• A plane flying overhead

2 things you smell.

• The heat

• My hand lotion

1 thing you taste.

• A ginger mint

This 5 4 3 2 1 practice can help you and I encourage you to practice. So let’s do a simple practice now where we do the 5 4 3 2 1 technique.

A great time to use this technique is when you know or begin to feel agitation in your body that may feel like anxiety or if you don’t feel grounded or solid in your body. You can also do a few short breaths in through the nose or mouth and a long exhale through your mouth. Having quick techniques you can use is one way to manage your emotions and your responses to life, well, lifing. lol.

What’s something you do to manage your emotions and feelings? I’d love for you to leave a comment, observation or reflection where you are listening to this podcast.

If you’d like to share your thoughts with me - barbarafaisonllc@gmail.com is the best way to reach me. And if social media is better for you, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, are best.

The card I pulled for us in this moment is the number 6 QUESTION Card..

The VISION for my life is CLEAR and I move with EASE and GRACE

I love this reminder. Thanks, cards!
