Grounding Techniques

There's more then 5-4-3-2-1 or deep breathing or holding an ice cube.

Grounding means brining yourself/ your awareness to present.

• you can wrap yourself in your fav shawl or some comfy dress. Feel the comfort, texture, smell of that piece of cloth.

• Spray some perfume that is comforting to you then feel the aroma, activate your senses and truly feel in present.

• You can turn on mood lights of your room and give one hour to yourself. Try to be creative in that moment. Take out paper and pen draw something or paint something from your imagination or take inspiration from your surroundings (do not use phone or internet for inspiration)

This won't work for everyone but give it a try maybe you unlock something that works for you.

Do share with everyone what you do to calm your mind, what brings halt to your racing thoughts. I would love to read your version of grounding technique.
