Still

A quiet page. A check in, a breathing pacer, a place to write. Nothing here leaves your device.

Still is a quiet tool. It is not medical care.

Check in

Pick the word closest to how you feel right now.

Breathe

Breathe in for 4. Hold for 4. Breathe out for 6. Follow the circle, or just the words.

Ready

One grounding practice: 5-4-3-2-1

A way to come back to the room you are in, one sense at a time.

  1. Name five things you can see.
  2. Name four things you can touch.
  3. Name three things you can hear.
  4. Name two things you can smell.
  5. Name one thing you can taste.
