5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique
If you feel scattered, try this: Name 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. This quick exercise helps bring you back to the present moment, grounding you in your senses and quieting mental noise.
Put this technique in your toolbag and when things feel overwhelming, it is your go-to for instant clarity.

Forget the long to-do list this week. Instead, focus on just one thing that truly matters to you. Write it down, put it somewhere visible, and give it your attention. By simplifying your focus, you’ll feel more accomplished and less scattered.
Progress comes from consistent focus on what truly matters.

“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”
Ask yourself:
• What’s one challenge you’ve overcome recently?
• How did it help you grow or shift your perspective?
• What’s one internal obstacle you’re ready to tackle next?
