Life already showed up this morning (like it does) and I’m proud of myself for getting up and trying out “grounding or earthing.”

Which is a simple mindfulness technique to get out of your head and get into the present. It honestly, helped.

I was feeling embarrassed and frustrated, but I was able to distract/disrupt my thoughts enough to get back control of my thinking and let it go….and it did.

Over a half an hour later I was still feeling a bit lighter and able to move on with my day instead of getting stuck in the loop.

*There are also interesting benefits. Over 20 peer-reviewed studies that found that earthing can:

  • ease pain and inflammation

  • boost mood

  • lower blood pressure

  • increase the surface charge on red blood cells, thereby reducing blood viscosity and clumping, which is associated with cardiovascular risk.

*Great article about earthing from Mind, Body, Green about earthing.

I would 100% try this again. ✅

Anyone ever try grounding or earthing before? Would you now?

Talk to me.
