Simple & Effective Grounding Techniques

Ever had one of those days (or weeks) where you're trying to hold it all together, and then you explode over something small? A spilled drink. An unanswered text. Someone chewing too loud.

Then comes the guilt. Ugh, why did I react like that?

You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. That reaction is a signal. You’re carrying too much and just out of sync with the calm, grounded version of yourself.

Look at it this way: A tree with shallow roots gets pulled up easily in a storm. But a tree with deep roots? It bends. It sways. It stays.

When you’re grounded, emotionally, mentally, and physically, you still feel the storm, but you stay rooted in your strength.

 3 Ways to Get Grounded QUICKLY:

1. Stand barefoot in the grass. Feel your feet on the earth. It calms your nervous system and lowers cortisol. Bonus: it just feels good.

2. Use the slow motion technique. When anxiety spikes, move like you’re underwater. Talk slower. Breathe slower. Think slower. It signals safety to your brain.

3. Hum or chant. Sounds weird, but seriously. Humming activates your vagus nerve and brings your body back to calm. Try a soft “mmm” or “om.”

Give those a try and let me know how they work for you.

You are supported, you are grounded, you are centered.
