COVID coping... getting grounded

So here we are with another month soon to be completed in lock`down. How do you feel? What have you noticed about yourself? Are you learning anything? What are some thoughts you’re having? Maybe you have the Calm App? or Headspace App? I personally enjoy the Soultime App as it combines meditation with spirituality. Let’s take a moment to ground. What is grounding: it’s acknowledging your present moment- right in that moment. So as you deep breath to melodic music, using imaginal activities helps with focusing your mind. Imagine your stressor as a spiral. Imagine that spiral going clockwise or counterclockwise. Which way does it go? Now, make it go the other direction and notice what happens.

Try this exercise: take in what you want from the world (or nature), and breathe out what you want to give back. Of course, this will lead you to think of positive qualities! Breathing in the stillness of the trees, and breathing out peace towards those around you.

Lastly, tap yourself a few times as you think about your favorite place. What is going on in your mind, body, soul? Take some time to jot some notes about it to look back on next week.

I’ll be back here again soon!
