Mental health tip: Grounding is fantastic for everyone! Grounding can help with calming agitation, for emotion regulation, or managing PTSD & C-PTSD. It's great for everyday situations, like feeling confident before leading a meeting or giving a presentation, before a hard conversation or an interview, or just a good way to finish the day and maintain work-life balance.
My favorite grounding technique is to find something that stimulates each of your 5 senses. It could be something you like, something familiar, something that gives relaxy vibes, whatever.
E.g.:
• something you like to eat, such as a piece of candy or chocolate
• a scent you like (tea/oils/perfume/etc)
• a song or white noise
• a material or texture or weight or fidget or cat or dog or snake
• some pictures, visualizations, art, darkness, or bright light
I carry around lychee candy, lilac scented oil to rub on my wrist, an emergency calming playlist (seriously), photo albums of my cats, and a ball of tungsten!
