Grounding exercises are great .
If you are in a warm climate , go outside , find a nice patch of grass , take off your shoes and socks , and feel the sturdy , supportive ground beneath your feet . If the weather isn ’ t conducive to being outside , you can sit in a chair and feel your feet on the floor . Feel your bottom sitting on a supportive chair or floor . Get connected . Notice how the earth or floor is a constant stable place . Imagine there are roots from your feet into the earth . Breathe deeply and slowly – 4 counts in , hold for 4 , breathe out for 4 , and hold . Repeat until you feel the tension leave your body .
Listen to a spiritually moving podcast , an inspirational book or music . Hearing or reading inspiring words and music are soul soothing .
