<< R I S E >>
I created this mantra / acronym for when I’m feeling anxious and need to come back to the present moment. My hope is that this may help you too.

RECENTER: notice the tension build in your body (usually jaw/ neck); label the emotion you’re experiencing; or name 5 things in the room with you.
INHALE: take 5 slow deep breaths in through the nose and out of the mouth.
SAFE: repeat “I am safe and loved.”
EARTH: find a way to ground down into the earth— often, physically by placing bare feet in the grass; sometimes less literally by dancing, practicing yoga, laughing via FaceTime with a friend.
