Three worksheets from the ACT and mindfulness toolkit — one for the moment of choice, one for values clarification, one for sensory grounding. ## Choice point (Russ Harris, ACT) A trigger or situation at the bottom of the diagram, with an upward arrow into a central **Choice point** box ("Notice + choose"). From the choice point, two upward paths fork: * **Toward move** (green, upper left) — values-aligned action * **Away move** (red, upper right) — hooked by thoughts / feelings **Use it for:** the ACT moment of distinction between being hooked and choosing. Russ Harris's flagship visualization makes the meta-skill concrete — every difficult moment is a choice point, and the work is noticing one is happening before automatically taking the away move. **The clinical move:** drop the preset, then walk through a recent example. *"What was the trigger? Where was the choice point? Which way did you go? What might a toward move have looked like?"* Pairs naturally with bull's-eye values — toward moves are toward your values; the bull's-eye is where your values live. ## Bull's-eye values Four concentric circles forming a target, with **VALUES** at the center bull's-eye and four life-domain labels at the compass points: * **Work / education** (top) * **Relationships** (right) * **Personal growth / health** (bottom) * **Leisure** (left) Below the diagram: *"Closer to center = behavior matches values."* **Use it for:** values clarification in ACT, especially when a client is struggling to articulate what they actually want their life to be about. The bull's-eye gives them a structure: in each of these four domains, how close are your current actions to the bull's-eye? A practitioner-led move: have the client place an X in each quadrant showing how close their current behavior is to their values in that domain. The gaps become the focus of subsequent work — "what would a move toward the center in \[domain] look like?" Drop sticky notes on top of the diagram to capture specific values that emerge during the conversation. Export the result; the bull's-eye becomes a working reference for the client to return to. ## 5-4-3-2-1 grounding Five rows, one per sense, all in green: * **5 — SEE:** Name 5 things you can see right now * **4 — HEAR:** 4 sounds — near and far * **3 — TOUCH:** 3 things you can feel (clothing, chair, breath) * **2 — SMELL:** 2 scents — or 2 that you like * **1 — TASTE:** 1 taste — sip of water, mint, your mouth **Use it for:** in-session grounding when a client is dissociating, spiraling, or hitting hyperarousal. The 5-4-3-2-1 protocol works because it pulls attention through the senses one at a time, which interrupts the dissociation or the spiral. **The clinical move:** drop the preset, work through it together, slowly. Don't rush. The point isn't to finish the list — it's to slow down enough that the client's nervous system catches up. Also useful as a take-home reference. Export to PDF so the client has it for moments between sessions when they need to ground. Pairs with the trauma presets ([polyvagal](/whiteboard/presets-trauma) and window of tolerance) — 5-4-3-2-1 is the concrete *"how to come back into the window"* skill. ## Related articles All 29 worksheets.
