Self-Care Tools

Practices That Work

1

Journaling for Recovery

Writing is one of the most powerful tools in recovery. You don't need to be a writer — you just need to be honest. Start with five minutes a day.

Prompt to try: "What am I carrying today that I need to put down?"

2

The 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique

When anxiety or cravings hit, grounding brings you back to the present moment. Name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.

Use this anytime you feel overwhelmed, triggered, or disconnected.

3

Building a Morning Routine

How you start your morning sets the tone for your entire day. Even a 10-minute intentional routine — water, movement, one intention — can shift everything.

Start small. One habit at a time. Consistency beats perfection.

4

Setting Boundaries Without Guilt

Boundaries aren't walls — they're the lines that protect your peace. Learning to say no is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself and others.

A boundary is not a punishment. It's a declaration of what you need to stay well.
