With so moving pieces around us, it’s easy to get swept up and feel disoriented. Here are 3 steps I take to re-connect and re-focus to the present moment.

1. Go for a walk outside- rain or shine!

Breathe deeply as you walk and observe the scenery in detail. The breeze, smells, what the ground feels like under your feet, etc. Think about your 5 senses and rotate through each of them in relation to what you see, smell, hear, touch and taste.

You can download a walking meditation with Helena and myself here.

2. Remind yourself what you have already accomplished.

Nothing gets ruled out! Mentally list it out or write it down. Brushed your teeth, made your bed, replied to that email, posted on IG, etc...... check, check, check! A gratitude checklist is also a beneficial practice to lift your spirit and energy. You can find The Five Minute Journal here.

3. Tidy your space and infuse a scent you enjoy.

Plan to be in your office for a few hours? Light a candle and file those papers away before you open your email. It takes less than 5 minutes to do a quick tidy and turn on your oil diffuser or light a candle. You’re setting yourself up for a success and honouring the space you plan to spend time in, therefore showing deep respect to yourself.

The definition of grounded is: “well balanced and sensible.”

You don’t need to meditate for an hour or put your toes in the dirt to become grounded. You can if you’d like!

But if you’re short on time or need something tactful to create a sense of purpose and balance in your daily routine, keep it simple.

The world can feel chaotic but your inner world doesn’t need to be!
