Traveling alert but needing a place to land.

Grounding Sequence — “Return to Now”

Pause the movie. Don’t fix the thought, just notice you’ve jumped ahead. Quietly say, “That’s tomorrow.”

Anchor through five senses. See: one color that dominates your surroundings.

Hear: one sound closest to your body (your breath, jacket rustle).

Touch: one texture under your hand.

Smell: one scent in the air. Taste: let the tongue rest; notice neutral space.

Breath mark. Inhale for a count of 4, exhale for 6. Two or three cycles. Think: “This is the breath I’m in.”

Body check. Feel the weight in your seat, your feet’s pressure, your heartbeat’s tempo. Nothing to change—just register it. Close with a phrase. Whisper or think: “Here is enough.”

Use it anytime the mind races forward; it doesn’t cancel thought, it re-grounds awareness in the physical.
