Centered, Calm and Connected: 4 Tips to Get You Grounded!

Life is beautiful and sometimes quite challenging. It’s common to lose one’s centeredness and grounding in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

How do you know if you are ungrounded?

You may feel:

• Unable to focus

• Peaks of high and low energy

• An inability to manifest the things you want in life

• Poor memory

• Disconnection

Getting grounded is step one of a five-step process called The Five Accomplishments, further explained in both of my books. Here are four simple, effective tips to help you get grounded, so you can get the most out of each day.

Unconditional Acceptance

A common reason we become ungrounded is because we do not face or accept an aspect of life. We hide something or hide from something because it makes us uncomfortable. Healing happens when we can accept the people, places and things in our life, even though we won’t always agree with them. We can accept someone and disagree with them at the same time – this is a big concept many people don’t fully grasp. When we face and embrace ourselves, we are able to accept ourselves, which allows us to be fully present and grounded in our life experience. Find the reasons you may not accept yourself, for exactly who you are, and begin to have peace with them. You deserve to love yourself.

Emotional Authenticity

Emotional authenticity eliminates the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ emotional hierarchy and permits you to feel and express all of your emotions. Were you taught to hold in your emotions and that some emotions are ‘good’ and some are ‘bad’? What is your experience with suppressing or expressing anger, fear, sadness and jealousy? When we begin seeing these emotions as simply (e) energy (motion) in motion, and stop judging them, something magical happens where this act of acceptance and expression naturally neutralizes our emotions. The emotions are diffused because we aren’t bottling them up. Our emotional roller coaster ride smoothes out over time because we refrain from hitting the stop button on them, and because of it, we feel free and more grounded.

Physical Balance

Three action steps essential to help you be grounded and physically balanced are nature, exercise and nutrition.

1. Get into nature, even if it’s leaning against a tree outside. Ideally nature walks, hikes and overnight stays will lend the greatest benefit because nature balances the mind, body and emotions by reconnecting you to your spirit.

2. A consistent daily exercise routine will make an incredible difference in how present you feel, with as little as five minutes a day. It is more about having a daily routine of body movement that works for you and your schedule, than a sporadic, rigorous exercise routine.

3. Finding the best nutrition for your body is an intuitive and intellectual journey. Anything that brings your body into a natural homeostasis will provide a more grounded experience for you. Your body will live longer and feel better by reducing exposure to alcohol, chemicals, radiation, drugs, caffeine and sugar, as they can be ungrounding at certain doses. Seek balanced advice from your medical doctor, alternative practitioner and your own intuition to discern the best nutrition.

See how present and grounded you can be for the beauty of your life!
