Day 2: Anchors – Tools to Bring Balance
Part of the “5 Days to Feel Better: A Somatic Reset” Series
Â
đź‘‹ Welcome to Day 2
Now that you’ve started noticing how your body responds to the world around you, it’s time to introduce a powerful set of tools: anchors.
Anchors are simple, body-based practices you can use anytime—especially when you feel tense, anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or just “off.”
They gently guide your body back to balance and help you feel more present, grounded, and supported
🎥 Today’s Video
In this short video, I walked you through three of my favorite anchors—easy, quick techniques to return to a steady internal state.
These are drawn from a larger practice I use in coaching called Core Centering. But today, we’re focusing on small, repeatable tools you can use anywhere, anytime.
🌬️ The Three Anchors We Explore Today:
- Hands on Body + Deep Belly Breath
- Coordinated Breath
- Ring the Temple Gong
Try them all. Notice how each one feels. Choose the one that feels most grounding and repeat the practice several times throughout your day.
📝 Journal Prompts
Take a few moments at the end of your day to reflect and write down what you notice:
- Which one of the anchors worked best for you today?
- How did it feel to pause and return to your body on purpose?
- Where in your daily routine might you use these tools?
đź’› A Gentle Reminder
You don’t need to be perfectly calm to be present.
These tools are not about “fixing” yourself—they’re about supporting your body’s natural ability to return to balance.
Over time, these tiny moments of reconnection can change how you move through the world.
Join me tomorrow for Day 3: Body Scan – Listening to the Wisdom of Sensation.
You’ll learn how to tune in to what your body is holding—and what it’s trying to tell you.
