Five Senses Check-In

Pause, reset, and ground yourself with this quick and calming sensory scan!

Notice 5 Things You Can See

Take a look around and list five things within your view—big or small!

Feel the textures around you. Maybe it’s your clothes, the ground, or even the air on your skin.

Tune into the sounds around you. It could be birds chirping, a fan humming, or your own breath.

Take a sniff! Is there a faint scent of coffee, fresh air, or even your lunch?

If you’re eating or drinking, focus on the flavors. If not, think of something you’re thankful for.

Take a deep breath. How do you feel now compared to before? You’ve just grounded yourself in the present moment!
