Staying With Sadness: A 90-Second Grounding Practice

from Living with Intention Podcast Hosted by charleneeestrada

Anyone feeling overwhelmed with sadness, grief, or intense emotions: this episode offers coaching support and is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are in danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please contact local emergency services or a trusted professional. Coach Emily walks listeners through simple, practical tools to stay with strong emotions: a 90‑second practice to name the feeling, locate it in the body, and let it move; temperature resets; box breathing; orienting (5‑3‑1); journaling prompts; and self‑compassion techniques. Episodes closes with short grounding steps—three slow breaths, naming one thing you appreciate, and reminders that the feeling is not permanent and you don’t have to carry it alone.
