A Simple Tool for Moments of Overwhelm: Five Finger Breathing 🖐️✨

When emotions feel high or the world feels a bit too 'loud,' it can be helpful to have a physical tool to bring ourselves back to the present moment.🌿


I wanted to share one of my favorite grounding techniques: Five Finger Breathing. 🖐️ ✨ 


How to do it (refer to the image): 🌸

1. Place the index finger of one hand at the base of the thumb on your other hand.

2. Inhale as you slide your finger up to the top of the thumb.

3. Exhale as you slide your finger down the other side.

4. Repeat for all five fingers until you’ve traced your whole hand. 


What are some other small 'sensory' tricks you use to stay grounded when things feel exhausting💙? 


I’m here to listen if anyone needs a quiet space to breathe
