Grounding Exercises

Grounding exercises can help to bring us back to ourselves and the present moment when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from our bodies and the world around us. They engage with our senses — sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste — to help ground us in the here and now. You can use these exercises anytime you want. They’re always here for you, whenever you need them.
