The 5-Minute Anchor: Recenter Your Mind
Find a quiet corner. Close your eyes and focus solely on your breath for one minute, noticing each inhale and exhale. Next, open your eyes and consciously identify three distinct objects you see, two specific sounds you hear, and one clear sensation you feel. This sensory grounding creates an immediate mental break.
