grounding your anxiety

If you’ve been feeling a little anxious or “off” lately, you’re not alone. Sometimes that anxious feeling creeps in when you start worrying about the future, whether your loved ones are okay, if you’re doing enough in your life, or even if you can trust yourself to make the changes you want. 

Anxiety can make you feel overloaded. This is when you take on other people’s problems, block your own energy, and tune out your own intuition.

Signs You’re Overloaded:
🌀 Feeling restless or on edge
🌀 Feeling unmotivated
🌀 Feeling joyless
🌀 Difficulty making decisions
🌀 Difficulty sleeping, feeling tired

The good news? There’s a solution – grounding! Grounding is when you re-establish your connection to the Earth and release unwanted energy. 

Grounding helps with:
🌿 Sleep
🌿 Accessing intuition
🌿 Body tension and stress
🌿 Focus
🌿 Creativity
🌿 Improved mood

If you’ve been wanting a technique to feel relaxed and calm, this simple grounding exercise:
✨ Close your eyes and take a slow breath in through your nose.
✨ Feel your feet on the floor and visualize roots gently reaching down into the earth
✨ Let the earth anchor you
✨ Now release anxiety, negative energy and thoughts down the roots

Do this for 10 minutes or until you feel calmer.
