Objective: To practice grounding attention through posture and physical contact with surfaces, helping students develop a calming technique for moments of distraction, anxiety, or overstimulation.
Instructions:
1. Sit quietly and feel the chair supporting your body.
2. Notice where your back touches the chair, where your feet touch the floor.
3. Pay attention to your posture—are you leaning, slouching, upright?
4. Take three slow breaths, focusing on the sensation of sitting.
Reflection Questions:
1. How do you feel now compared to before?
2. What did you notice about your posture?
3. How did your body feel against the chair and the floor?
4. Did you feel more grounded or distracted?
5. What thoughts came up during the stillness?
6. Could this help you refocus during class or an exam?
