5 Acupressure Points

Speaking and using affirming language with yourself out loud can be a powerful tool for boosting self-confidence and self-awareness. While practicing mindfulness, being verbal can help you feel more grounded. This week, I am introducing the Acupressure Points technique, which will serve as an alternative Grounding Technique that includes both your hands and positive vocabulary to aid in your everyday life.

1. Open the palm of one hand

2. Touch thumb to forefinger = Peace

3. Touch thumb to middle finger = Begins

4. Touch thumb to ring finger = With

5. Touch thumb to little finger = Me

You can also say:

I-Am-Not-Alone

I-Will-Be-Brave

For me, finding accessible quick ways to practice mindfulness especially with minimal equipment is extremely important. I hope this technique will help those who are looking for something similar. Remember the importance of PLAY!
