6 WAYS TO CALM AND GROUND

1) BODY TRACING: Lie down on your back and close your eyes. Start at the top of your head and imagine tracing the outline of your body with your mind's eye. Slowly move down your body, tracing each part of your body in turn, until you reach your toes.

2) GROUNDING EXERCISES: Sit on the ground with your legs crossed and plant your palms on the ground beside you. Focus on the feeling of the earth beneath you, and imagine roots growing from your body into the ground. Or place your hands flat on a table in front of you. Breathe in and out.

3) BOX BREATHING: Take a deep breath in for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and then hold your breath for 4 seconds. Repeat this cycle for a few minutes.

4) 5-4-3-2-1 EXERCISE: Look around and identify five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.

This exercise can help you become more present in the moment and focus on your senses.

5) ICE CUBE EXERCISE: Hold an ice cube in your hand for a few seconds, and focus on the sensation of coldness. This exercise can help you become more present in the moment and focus on your senses.

6) LEMON EXERCISE: Cut a lemon and take a moment to smell it. Then take a small bite and focus on the sour taste. This exercise can help you become more present in the moment and focus on your senses.

I have found all of these exercises to be beneficial, so, if you find yourself struggling, remember these exercises along with the power of mindfulness.

By cultivating a sense of calm and clarity in your mind, you can

begin to discover a new sense of health and happiness in the

process!
