When you’re feeling anxious, you need to get out of your head and into the present moment. The five senses technique is an easy way to do this.

“This established mindfulness technique is great for grounding yourself when you’re feeling agitated or anxious,” Dr Molimpakis tells Stylist. “Head to your local outdoor space and spend some time mindfully observing your surroundings, such as the scents, colours and sounds that are present.

“Pick five things that you can see, five things that you can hear and five things that you can feel, smell or taste; observe and describe them in your head. I like to combine breathwork with mindful awareness of my surroundings. This can help connect you to the here and now and will allow you to feel more relaxed.”
