✅
A quick grounding technique that relaxes the eyes, interrupts mental overload, and restores focus by shifting your gaze to a distant point.
🧰 THE TIP
When your mind gets tight or overstimulated, your eyes often mirror the tension — focusing too close, too fast, or too much.
Gently look at one point far away (across the room or out a window).
Let your eyes stretch into distance.
Hold for 5–10 seconds.
Exhale.
This simple shift gives your nervous system a micro-reset, reduces pressure, and invites a calmer, wider awareness.
🧪 Why This Works (Micro-Mechanics)
- It relaxes the ocular muscles involved in near-focus tension.
- Expands the field of visual perception → brain interprets “more space.”
- Rapidly lowers micro-stress, especially during screen time.
- Interrupts cognitive looping by forcing a physical change in focus.
🎯 When to Use It
- When you feel mentally “boxed in.”
- During screen fatigue.
- When you can’t think clearly or start over-focusing on tiny details.
- After long periods of intense concentration.
