Mindful March: Techniques for Managing Stress and Emotions

Recovery doesn’t end when rehab does – it evolves. At Atlantis Recovery, we understand that early recovery is just the beginning of a lifelong journey. That’s why we offer a powerful, structured Aftercare Programme designed to support individuals as they navigate life after treatment. From virtual community support to personalised recovery coaching, our aftercare resources are here to provide consistent guidance, connection, and encouragement – every step of the way.

Practice the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique

When stress or overwhelming emotions arise, grounding techniques can help bring you back to the present moment. The 5-4-3-2-1 method is a simple yet effective way to reconnect with your senses: 

  • 5 things you can see: Notice the details of your surroundings—a picture on the wall, the colour of the sky, or the texture of your desk. 
  • 4 things you can touch: Feel the fabric of your clothes, the surface of a table, or the ground beneath your feet. 
  • 3 things you can hear: Listen to the sounds around you, whether it’s birds chirping, the hum of a fan, or your own breath. 
  • 2 things you can smell: Take in the scents of your environment, like fresh air or a cup of tea. 
  • 1 thing you can taste: Focus on the taste in your mouth or take a sip of water.
