Self-Soothing
Comfort yourself through your senses
Your senses as a calming anchor
Tick the senses you used and jot what you reached for. The point isn't to use all five — it's to notice which ones bring you back when distress hits.
A photo, a sunset, a calming colour…
Music, nature sounds, a favourite voice…
A candle, fresh air, coffee, lotion…
Tea, fruit, mint, something warm…
A soft blanket, warm shower, pet, hand on heart…
