This month, a grounding exercise I learned when I was frequently overwhelmed while recovering from a concussion. A therapist shared it when I would become too agitated to speak. It brought me back from shutting down, it brought me into the moment.

I still use it, whenever I feel my mind race. Sometimes I take a walk outside, narrating to myself what I sense. .
