Having a Process to Get You Through Hard Times

Everyday I wake up differently. Some days I feel grounded, grateful and optimistic for the day ahead. Other days I wake up feeling so overwhelmed that I feel paralyzed and stuck to my bed.

On those days I am so grateful that I have a process. I have tools that I immediately go to that I know will help me move through those dense feelings.

I know I can roll out my yoga mat, go for a walk, or open up my journal and by the end of that practice I know I will feel a little lighter and more capable of navigating my obligations of the day.

Do you have a process? Something that helps you navigate the inevitable highs and lows of life? If not, I got you!

Here’s one of my favorite grounding practices:

Lay on the ground

Take a deep breath in through the nose and loudly sigh on the exhale

(repeat that breath AT LEAST two more times)

Feel your whole body on the ground

You can do this at home, in nature, on a bathroom floor after you’ve been triggered at a family party. It can take less than a minute and can really help you get grounded!

Life can be breathtakingly beautiful in one moment and devastating in the next. You deserve to have a process that helps get you through the rough moments!

Here’s to your process!
