Being “grounded” is being mentally and emotionally balanced, especially when faced with challenges. We all get out of balance at times.

Reflection

• Do you have any practices, like meditation or prayer, that help keep you grounded?
• If so, how do they help you?
• If not, what can you start practicing?

Action

• Breathing is one way we can become “grounded” and de-stress.
• Begin this day with three rounds of inhales and exhales, try to breath out longer than you breath in while counting each breath.
• Try to create a habit of breathing every day.
