What grounding techniques do you all use?
My favorite technique is to try and focus on your hand, it’s very hard to explain but you try and feel your hand with your mind or feel the presence of your hand. If you get really good at this try doing it with your entire arm, then try both arms, then legs. Eventually you can do it with your entire body.
Breathing, meditation, and self compassion. Breathing just deep belly breaths. Meditation I imagine a rope connected between me and earth. Compassion, I just tell myself “you’re safe, you are doing great, there is nothing to worry about other than living life.”
