Hey everyone, welcome back to your 2025 Virtual Health and Wellbeing Kit!
With getting back to school, assignments, work, and everything in between, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Sensory mindfulness is a simple way to slow down, reconnect with the present moment, and calm your nervous system.
Sensory mindfulness is about grounding yourself by tuning into your five senses — sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. It helps shift your focus momentarily from stressful thoughts so that you can re-focus and look at things with a fresh mind.
Try the 5-4-3-2-1 Technique
This is a quick and easy mindfulness exercise you can do anytime you’re feeling stressed, anxious or distracted:
- 5 things you can see

This technique helps you ground yourself and feel more calm and centred.
