The 5 Senses
Why do we use the five senses?
The connections to the five senses serve a crucial purpose and is the basis of every item chosen to fit inside your Wellness Box. The senses are tied to a technique referred to as "5-4-3-2-1 grounding."
What is 5-4-3-2-1 grounding?
This task calls upon you to think about five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
What does this do?
According to Mayo Clinic, this helps your mind to shift away from your anxious thoughts and towards the present moment. This in turn helps to interrupt unhealthy thought patterns.
