Day 12 - Groundedness

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.

“What does it mean to be grounded? It means no unkind being is taking up space rent free in your body. It also means you love deeply without need for revenge. It means digging beneath the machine mind to understand and see the beauty in each human being.”
Deborah Bravandt
“Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground...don't let your ego run out of control and convince you that you are better than anyone else”
