The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method (also known as the five senses exercise) is a great calming and grounding technique. This is an informal mindfulness practice that can be used anytime and anywhere. We spend so much time inside our heads, thinking, analysing and problem-solving which can cause us a lot of anxiety. This exercise enables us to get out of our head and we do this by tuning into our sensory experience in the here and now. • 🔵 WORK WITH ME • If you'd like to work with me, or a member of the Lewis Psychology team, please click on the links below: • ☐ Lewis Psychology CIC (for face to face therapy): https://www.lewispsy.org.uk • ☐ Lewis Psychology Online (for online therapy): https://lewispsyonline.co.uk • 🔵 Notice 5 things that you can see. Look around you and become aware of your environment. Try to pick out 5 things that you don’t usually notice. Take your time, look at each object carefully and examine its specific details. Notice its size, shape, colour and its texture. Try to describe each item in your mind. • 🔵 Notice 4 things you can feel. Bring your attention to the things that you’re currently feeling, such as the texture of your clothing, the pressure of your feet on the floor or the temperature of your skin. Maybe pick up an object and notice its texture, size, shape and temperature. Try to describe each item in your mind and do that with 4 things. • 🔵 Notice 3 things that you can hear. What can you hear right now? It could be something in the background that you wouldn’t normally notice. Perhaps birds chirping outside, the sound of your computer humming or the faint sounds of traffic from a nearby road. In your mind describe each sound. • 🔵 Notice 2 things you can smell. Maybe some of the smells are pleasant and some are unpleasant, that’s okay. Just notice each smell without having an opinion about it. In your mind describe each smell. • 🔵 Notice 1 thing you can taste. Focus on one thing you can taste right now, in this moment. You might take a sip of a drink, chew gum, eat a snack or notice the current taste in your mouth. Describe its flavour. Is is sweet, sour, bitter or salty. • The numbers for each sense are only a guidelines. Feel free to do more or less of each. • 🔵 CHAPTERS • 0:00 Introduction • 0:38 5 things you can see • 1:24 4 things you can feel • 1:52 3 things you can hear • 2:18 2 things you can smell • 2:36 1 thing you can taste • 🔵 ABOUT TERESA LEWIS • Teresa Lewis is the founder and Director of Lewis Psychology and a Senior Accredited psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Snr.
