It’s the second day of Mental Health Awareness Week, and another chance to pause and think about how we look after our own mental health.

Today we’re sharing some grounding techniques — simple ways to reconnect with yourself and, when things feel overwhelming, bring yourself back to centre.

Whether you’re out for a walk or sitting quietly at home, take a moment to notice your surroundings and explore your senses with our grounding ideas.

We’d love to hear what you discover. Share your thoughts in the comments.
