The 3-Minute Reset: Orientation, Then Choice

3-Minute Reset: Orientation, Then Choice
 
A simple, body-based practice you can use in real time when your nervous system is loud and you need something that actually helps.
 
This guided 5-4-3-2-1 reset uses sight, sound, and sensation to orient you to the present moment, signal safety to your system, and create a little more space for choice.
 
What it includes:
The full 5-4-3-2-1 practice (with sensory prompts)
A three-layer sensation check-in (physical, emotional, internal)
A quick “Sensation vs Story” reminder to decouple interpretation from activation
 
How to use
Use it once when you feel activated, overwhelmed, numb, or stuck.

Even a 2 percent shift counts.
 
Who it’s for? 
Perfect for anxious spirals, shutdown moments, conflict, overstimulation, or any time you cannot think your way out of what your body is doing.
