Three Mental Health Tips for August

Align, Reflect & Reset Before Fall

August is a natural pause—a quiet shift between full summer and what’s next. It’s the perfect moment to slow down, check in, and realign.

1. Grounding

Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to calm anxiety. Name:

• 5 things you see
• 4 you can touch
• 3 you hear
• 2 you smell
• 1 you taste

2. Journal Prompt

• Ask: What have I outgrown this summer?

• What do I want to carry into fall?

3. Mini Ritual

• Light a candle.
• Clean out a drawer.
• Take a walk at sunset.
• Small transitions create space for big clarity.
