What Is Grounding?
Grounding is a way to bring your attention back to the present moment, especially when stress or overwhelm takes over.
It helps your body slow down and feel safe again.
Why Grounding Works
When you’re stressed, your body goes into “survival mode.”
That’s why your heart races, your thoughts spiral, or you feel tense.
Grounding works by helping your body shift out of that state.
What It Does
- Calms your body → slows breathing, reduces tension
- Refocuses your mind → stops spiraling thoughts
- Brings you into the present → reminds you that you’re safe right now
