Mindfulness and Grounding
Brief, approachable practices for returning attention to the present moment, noticing what is happening, and creating a pause before deciding what comes next.
Mindfulness can begin with noticing.
You do not have to empty your mind, feel calm immediately, or practice perfectly.
Mindfulness involves paying attention to present experience with openness. Grounding practices direct attention toward immediate sensory information or the environment.
Different practices work differently for different people. Choose what feels manageable, keep your eyes open if preferred, and stop if a practice increases discomfort.

Choose your position
Sit, stand, or move. Keep your eyes open or shift attention outward if that feels better.
Notice your response
There is no required feeling. Simply notice whether the practice feels useful, neutral, or uncomfortable.
Stop when needed
You can end a practice at any time and choose another source of support.
