When life feels heavy or overwhelming, take a few moments to pause, breathe, and reconnect. These simple practices can help you feel calmer and more grounded — anytime, anywhere.

• Connect with a pet: Stroke their fur, feel their warmth, and take in their steady, peaceful presence.

• 5-4-3-2-1 reset: Look around and name:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

• Inhale deeply through your nose.

• Let out a slow, audible sigh through your mouth.

• Repeat 3-5 times, feeling tension melt away with each exhale.

3 Questions for a Fresh Perspective

When things aren’t going as planned, gently ask yourself:

• How can life get better than this?

• What else is possible here?

• What is right about this that I’m not seeing?
