Do something right now that activates each of your five senses.
-Look around the room. Write down what you see. Notice it.
-Now move on to hearing. Sing something. Listen to yourself.
-Next sense.

You can also go exercise for 20 mins to 1 hour. That works.

Go do the five senses or take a long walk and come back and tell me what you feel. OK?
