    “Grounding/mindfulness actually works! Will help my mind stop spiraling and allows me to focus on something else, namely the present.”

    “There are different versions of this exercise, but the version I like to do is this: Take notice of 4 things I can see, 3 things I can hear, 2 things I can feel, and 1 thing I am grateful for. Helps to stay present in the moment and I especially try to do this when ever I am somewhere in nature”
