If You're Struggling Right Now

1

Pause and Breathe

Take 3 slow breaths. In for 4 counts, hold for 4, out for 6. Your nervous system will respond.

2

Ground Yourself

Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste.

3

Reach Out

Text or call someone you trust. You don't have to explain everything—just say "I'm having a hard time."

4

Change Your Environment

Move to a different room, step outside, or change your physical position. Movement can shift mental state.

5
