Sensory Object

Stress can hit unexpectedly, but you have a powerful tool in your pocket: a sensory anchor. This can be a small object like a stone, coin, ring, or keychain that you touch when you feel overwhelmed. Over time, your brain will associate this object with calmness. Therapists use this for trauma work, and athletes use it to stay focused. It's not a fidget, but a tailor-made solution for the present moment.

This simple tool can help you reset and take control of your anxiety. Next time you feel overwhelmed, reach for your anchor. Let its presence remind you that you are in control of your thoughts.
