Start with spatial referencing or spatial awareness. Start by looking around you. Name 3 objects and then a part of your body. Do it right now. I'm gonna do it with you. I'm gonna look at my speaker and I'm gonna say my third eye. Or fourth finger. I'm gonna look at the screen, and I'm gonna say, "My shoulders." I'm gonna feel, because yes, you can use any of your five senses. I'm gonna feel my fingers on the mouse, and then I'm going to feel my left shoulder. Foot. That's one of the fastest ways to recentering yourself and calming your mind and your nervous system.
