In these heavy times, showing up for others starts with slowing down ourselves- put your mask on first.
Here is a trauma-informed, five-step grounding practice, courtesy of Mindfulness Exercises :
1️⃣ Slow your own breath… center before speaking.
2️⃣ Help others orient to the here + now.
3️⃣ Invite gentle physical grounding.
4️⃣ Normalize what they’re feeling + affirm safety.
5️⃣ Offer a small, safe next step.
Compassion begins within! ✨
“To meet someone in their pain without flinching is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer.” - Sean Fargo, Mindfulness Exercises
