this grounding exercise i do

hey ladies, hope youre all doing well. i wanted to share this thing i do when my head feels like its spinning too fast, usually after i pick up the kids from school and we hit the grocery store before dinner. i just find something to focus on, like the feel of the grocery cart handle or the hum of the refrigerators. it pulls me back.

oh that's smart. i try to do that too, especially when the supermarket is really crowded. i'll grip my keys really tight in my pocket until the feeling passes.

oh i love the keys idea! i find that when i'm in crowded spaces, i just focus on the feel of the fabric of my jeans. like, really noticing the texture helps me feel more present.

oh i love that idea about focusing on your jeans! that's so smart. i sometimes do something similar with my wedding ring when i feel overwhelmed, just feeling the cool metal on my finger.

oh yeah, the wedding ring thing is such a good idea too! i love how the cool metal feels. sometimes i touch the shells i keep by my bed when i need to feel grounded too.

i hadn't thought of shells! that's brilliant, seattlerose. i sometimes just trace the grain on my kitchen table when i need that feeling, it's funny what we find.

oh that's so true about the table grain, softforest! i do something similar with the wooden rocking chair on our porch. it's amazing what we notice when we're just trying to be still for a second.
