Between the holidays, change in season, less sunlight and shift toward the end of the year with more happening, our bodies and selves end up less grounded. Often, more anxious. More stressed. More on, autopilot Grounding is important in all months of the year for our long term physical and mental health. It helps keep our nervous system and body calm and strong! π A few simple ways to help ground yourself π -Create mid day check inβs to ask yourself internally or even aloud: How am I? How is my body sharing how it is? What do I need to feel more calm in this moment? - Taking a few slow deep breaths using only the NOSE with the EXHALE being longer than the INHALE ( both of these parts help activate your para-sympathetic nervous system which helps you feel, CALM) -Place your body or bare feet on the ground outside or on level to the ground whenever possible -Spend time connecting with the outdoors or plants (no phones or distractions) - Eat warm foods and warm root based vegetables - Adding warming spices to a meal (cinnamon, cumin, curry, etc) -Guide yourself in a bodyscan from head to toe, imagining each area you go over, you bring a warming sensation to that area that is calming and grounding you internally. πΎππ
