The 54321 Grounding technique uses the activity of engaging in the 5 senses to fully immerse yourself into the present moment and the environment you find yourself in. It can be used as stress relief, reduce anxiety, lessen intensity of depression, improve wellbeing and reset the nervous system. It can be used in one minute if needed for emotional first aid to reduce distress in a difficult situation, or daily as a mindfulness practice to promote the relaxation response and increase skills in paying attention to the moment you are in.
