When you feel rushed, stop and take five deep breaths, each lasting five seconds on the inhale and five seconds on the exhale.

Stand in front of a mirror and look directly into your own eyes.

Use your thumb to apply gentle pressure to the space between your eyebrows (the third eye point) or the area just below your collarbone (the K27 acupressure point).

Take a pen and a piece of paper.

Stop what you’re doing and focus on engaging each of your five senses.

If you have access to a sound bowl or tuning fork, use it to create soothing vibrations.

Pick a simple task that you need to do, such as making a cup of tea or walking to another room.

Use your hands or a small object to create a rhythm by tapping on a surface.

Take a one-minute walk, either indoors or outside, but with a twist—focus solely on the sensation of your feet making contact with the ground.

Imagine that with each inhale, you are breathing in a calming color like blue or green.

Find a light source and create shadows with your hands on a wall or surface.

Close your eyes and perform a quick body scan, starting at your feet and working up to your head.
