Your grounding record

Grounding

When you feel blank, panicky, mentally noisy, or unable to slow down before bed, use seeing, touching, hearing, smelling, and tasting to guide yourself back into the room.

5 stepsStored locallyUseful for drifting or panic

Landing progress

One item in each section is enough. Plain answers are fine.

0 / 5
5

See 5 things

Pull your eyes back out of the mental story and into the room.

One line each, for example: reflection on the desk / fold in the curtain / green cup 0 / 5
4

Touch 4 sensations

Let the body confirm “I am here” again.

For example: edge of the sleeve / hardness of the chair / feet on the floor / fingertip warmth 0 / 4
3

Hear 3 sounds

Do not rate them. Just receive them.

For example: AC hum / distant traffic / keyboard clicks 0 / 3
2

Notice 2 smells

They can be faint. Even the smell of the room counts.

For example: shampoo / wood / rainy air 0 / 2
1

Taste 1 thing, or follow 1 slow exhale

If there is no taste right now, let one slower exhale be the anchor.

For example: tea in the mouth / one breath leaving the nose 0 / 1

After this, give yourself one gentle direction

Give your body and attention a softer place to go next.

One line per item is enough. The goal is simply to return to the current environment.
