Choose a comfortable pause.
A familiar song, a little fresh air, or a gentle change of pace.
Music & listening
Choose something familiar.
Pick one song that feels comfortable. Notice an instrument, the rhythm, or a lyric. Silence is also an option if music feels like too much.
Nature & noticing
A small change of focus.
Look out a window or step outside if safe. Notice three colors, two sounds, and one texture. Stay where you feel comfortable.
Gentle movement
Work with the energy you have.
Choose a comfortable position, change posture, or take a short familiar walk if it suits you. Stop if you feel pain or unwell.
