Welcome to Grounding Techniques, the second course in our mental wellness series. This course is all about learning practical, simple ways to feel more present, calm, and in control—especially when things feel overwhelming.
When we go through stress, trauma, or high emotions, our body can get stuck in “fight or flight” mode. That can make you feel anxious, frozen, or disconnected. Grounding exercises are tools that gently bring your focus back to the present moment by engaging your senses, body, and breath.
In this course, you’ll explore:
- What grounding is and why it works
- A step-by-step guide to the 5-4-3-2-1 technique
- A hands-on anchoring exercise using your environment
- A calming autogenic training routine that helps your body relax
- The benefits of spending time in nature as a way to reset your mind and mood
You don’t need any special tools or background—just a willingness to try. All exercises are explained in simple language and can be repeated anytime you need a moment of calm.
Some people like to watch the video, others prefer reading or writing, and that’s okay. The course includes multiple ways to engage so you can choose what works best for you.
This is your time and your space. You can come back to these tools anytime you need them.
