Remaining GROUNDED through change 🔼

Change is inevitable, and a constant part of life.
We may mentally "know" this, and still have a hard time navigating it. 🙇🏽‍♀️

Here are a few of my favorite practices for remaining grounded through change:

1. Feel the bottoms of your feet on the ground. I will gently rock on my ankles side to side allowing the entire surface of my foot to feel the earth.

2. Go outside. Breathe fresh air. No matter the weather, this provides a huge calm hug for the nervous system. If weather is unpleasant, rain/snow, notice it! These differing states can snap your nervous system into the present moment by exposing yourself to a new set of conditions in your environment. Breathe, smile, experience the sensations it brings to each of your senses.

3. FEEL what it feels like to be on the other side of change. Close your eyes and imagine that task being done, the light on the other side of tunnel, the relief of having the hard conversation etc. Whatever allows you to feel what it would be like to be there, on the other side of change, NOW.

4. Remind yourself that this is your FIRST TIME. The more experiences built up over our lifetime the more dense we become, the more that we process and integrate our experiences the lighter we feel and the more flexibility we have to embrace change. Remind yourself that this is your FIRST TIME encountering this change as exactly the person you are, let down your baggage of yesterday/year and feel the lightness in this truth.

*** You may notice a theme here: all of my practices are body focused.
Getting into your body is the KEY to navigating change with more grace and more ease!! 💜
