Breathing Techniques
Puffy Cheek Breathing
If I'm in a pinch: I enjoy the quick discreet puffy cheek breathing. This approach achieves the same deep breath work. Inhale deeply through your belly button. Puff the cheeks out and purse your lips together as you exhale slowly. Repeat as needed.
Grounding Techniques
Quick Tips:
Name 5 Things you see in your Space.
(white pillow, desk lamp, lego flowers, clock and lip gloss)
Choose a Color and Identify 5 Things you see in your space of that same color.
(Brown floor, brown desk, brown shoes, brown pillow, brown door knob)
Discreet Grounding Technique:
​
Internally say: The exact day, date, time and your location.
​
Example: It's Wednesday, April 16th, 2025. The time is 10:53am and I am sitting at my desk, in my office, located in Charleston, SC.
This is a great tool to anchor your awareness to the current moment.​​​​
Touchstones
Often having a token or touchstone is helpful. There are "anxiety necklaces" that also double as touchstones available on Amazon.
