Reset In 5 Moment - Smell

Yes, it's time for a 5 Minute Reset.

Sometimes, we forget to notice this particular sense, and every so often, it's a lovely way to ground ourselves.

So, take a moment, notice what you may be able to smell in the air around you.

What are you noticing? Perhaps there is no smell at all, or a variety of smells?

Perhaps it's on the clothing that you are wearing? Perfume? Is it soft or strong? Does feel nice or unpleasant?

What else are you aware of? Take a moment to notice one thing about that smell, simply notice.

What parents are saying.......

To teachers.
To family members.
To other parents.
To strangers in public.

Many parents of neurodivergent kids become their child’s interpreter for the world.

You explain behaviour.
You explain sensory needs.

You explain reactions that others may not understand.

That advocacy is powerful.
But it can also be exhausting.
You deserve spaces where you don’t have to explain everything.

Many parents navigating a new diagnosis carry a huge amount of guilt.

You question your decisions.

You replay moments.

You wonder if you could have done something differently.

But parenting a neurodivergent child is complex and demanding.

You are learning.

You are adapting.

That matters more than perfection ever could.

If this spoke to you, save it for the hard days.

Reset In 5 Moment - Hearing

Time for a 5 Minute Reset.

Take a moment, notice what you can hear. Just notice what is your sense of hearing is drawn to.

Allow yourself to fully focus on that 1 of the sounds.

What are you noticing about it? Perhaps it's the volume or pitch? Is it loud, soft, rhythmic? Does it sound light or deep? Annoying or pleasant?

What else are you aware of?

Reset In 5 Reminder

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious, it's OK to take 5 minutes to stop and reset.

Try this 5 Minute Reset

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 what you're doing.

𝗣𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 - notice, and acknowledge, what or how you're feeling.
Whatever it is, it's Ok to feel or think this way.......even if you can't quite describe what you are sensing. It might simply be a sense of "yuck" and that's OK.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 - It's nice to place your hand on your heart or your belly, notice the rise and fall of your breath, where ever that may be in your body.

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲 - notice your breath, allow yourself to take a couple of slow breaths, as deeply as you can, then allow your breath to flow naturally. Just notice.

And, if you feel like it, go and grab a cuppa or step outside for a moment and get some fresh air.

You can do this as many times as you need, whenever you need to.❤️

Self-care needn't take long.
