becoming distracted from something
important to you (like a class, or
a medical appointment) try bringing
yourself back to focus on the moment
and space you’re in by doing
the ‘Five Things’ exercise:
and focus deeply on each item, noticing its qualities
and characteristics (colour, shape, size…)
Notice 4 things you can hear
and think about what they sound like (near, far, soft, loud…)
Notice 3 things you can touch
and spend a moment with the feeling
of those three things against your skin
Notice 2 things you can smell
and focus on the sensation in your nostrils
Notice 1 things you can taste (a sip of water? a small snack?
your garlicky lunch?!)
When you’ve completed this, re-engage with the task,
conversation or goal at hand.
