2024 - Week 14 - Staying Grounded

This is a podcast about how I stay grounded.

Last week I mentioned using your phone to remind you during the day to stop and check in with yourself.

Are you checking in with yourself? Are you noticing how you feel and paying attention to how you are moving through the day?

I notice when I’m rushing or moving fast I drop things. I might have too many things in my hand as I’m walking to the car and I drop something. Maybe if I put my water bottle down and make another trip that wouldn’t happen. Lol. So lately I have been noticing and stopping and putting my hand in the center of my chest and taking a few breaths and lovingly saying to myself, “Barbara, slow down.”

Spring brings a different energy than winter. When the weather is nice it makes me want to be outside more and do a lot. New ideas and adventures are naturally a part of spring since we were more inside and closed off during the winter months. I’ve learned it’s important to stay grounded during the day so I can be more focused on what I desire.

Here are a few ways I stay grounded with life during the spring.

• I take a few minutes to sit outside and be with nature

• I press my feet into the ground and remind myself that I am safe and grounded

• I limit myself to no more than three major activities a day

I’ve recently released a five minute grounding meditation that also uses your voice. I hope you enjoy listening.

Check in with your body and notice how you feel now. You can also find this meditation on my YouTube channel under videos.

I’d love to know how you felt after practicing the grounding meditation. Leave a comment where you are listening to this podcast.

You can also email me at [e-mail]. And if social media is better for you, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, are best.

Our Breathe with Barbara LIVE sessions start next week on 4/10. If you are interested in joining us, you can register on my website at barbarafaison.com/store/ live meditation, you can also use MONEY for 10% off your order as a promo

The card I pulled for us today from my Relax, Listen and Trust Your Inner Guidance Card Deck in this moment is:

#8 - LISTEN - My body TELLS ME what it NEEDS

It sure does. It might be movement, food, rest, water. Learning to listen to your body is a PRACTICE and Practice. Keep Practicing.
