•Notice the feeling of your feet on the ground.
•Become aware of the temperature of air on your skin.
•Feel the warmth of the sun, or the coolness of the breeze on your face.
•Name all the colors you see. Can you find one of each primary color?
•Inhale, feel the air build up inside you, exhale, feel your energy rooted back down to the Earth.
•Pace your breath with your steps.. something like 4 steps per inhale, 4 steps per exhale
•List what you're grateful for around you.
•5-4-3-2-1 method
•Become aware of the connection of it all. We need the plants to breathe fresh air, to provide nutrients, to give life. These same plants aid in creating our furniture, our papers, our homes. We return back to Earth, buried or ashes, at the end of it all.
•Contemplate how small our daily worries or frustrations may truly be, when there's so much more outside our heads.
