A mindful reset for anxious, overthinking days
1 / 1
You can’t think your way out of overwhelm.
Sometimes the fastest way to calm down isn’t to talk, but to touch. Dots To Ground You was born from therapy rooms — from clients who needed a simple, non-verbal way to reset when words felt too heavy. It’s not about achieving calm instantly. It’s about giving your nervous system a cue that it’s safe again. About letting your hands remind your mind that you’re here, right now. This tool doesn’t promise instant peace. What it does offer is something quieter — a moment of pause that can change the way you meet yourself in chaos.
You don’t need to fix your thoughts. You just need to come back to your senses.1What's inside

2How to use
Keep it within reach — at your desk, in your bag, or beside your journal. When anxiety or restlessness strikes, pick a dot and scratch it slowly. Notice the texture, the sound, and your breath as it steadies.
Use it as a grounding ritual before therapy, during work breaks, or when you can’t quite quiet your mind. Over time, these small, mindful actions build stronger emotional regulation and a gentler relationship with your thoughts.
3Why it works
Grounding is one of the most effective ways to regulate an anxious nervous system. The act of scratching each dot redirects your attention from spiralling thoughts to a simple sensory task — engaging the brain’s focus and calming the body’s stress response.
Developed by psychologists at The Thought Co., Dots To Ground You draws from mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and cognitive-behavioural principles that encourage mindful doing over mental rumination. By creating a small, tactile moment of control, you activate presence — not performance.

This was the first tool I could actually use when I was anxious. It’s so simple that I didn’t expect it to work — but it really does.
It helps me slow down when journaling feels too much. Quiet, subtle, effective.
Keeps me sane during stressful workdays. I didn’t realise how much sensory grounding could help until now.
The kind of mindfulness that feels human, not performative.
I’ve used it on flights, in traffic, and before big presentations. Instant reset.
Because great things rarely travel alone.

Behind the design
Why we build tools for feelings (not just vibes).
Dots To Ground You began as an idea early in my therapy practice — born from a simple observation: even something as natural as breathing can go wrong when we’re anxious. When we asked clients to “just take a deep breath,” many would end up hyperventilating. It made me wonder — if calm can’t come from breath alone, maybe it can come from something that helps us pace it. I wanted to find a way to anchor people through their senses — touch, sight, sound — something almost childlike in its simplicity. That’s how this tool was born: part mindfulness, part play. The act of scratching each dot gives the body something gentle to focus on, helping the breath find its rhythm again. It’s a tactile reminder that grounding doesn’t need to be profound to be powerful. Sometimes, regulation begins not with thinking differently — but with doing something small, slowly, and with presence.
