In this very first episode of Wild & Grounded, Julie Mac Donnell chats about the Mindfulness Grounding tool 5-4-3-2-1 which utilises all of our senses to help bring us out of chaotic head space and into the 'NOW'. In moments (or seasons) of anxiety, stress, dissociation, and depression; she explains why this is an easily accessible tool you can use anywhere and at any time to practise detaching from the unreal and finding calm.

She takes us through the tool which incorporates:

5 Things you can see, 4 Things you can touch, 3 Things you can hear, 2 Things you can and 1 thing you can taste.
