Being \u201cgrounded\u201d is being mentally and emotionally balanced, especially when faced with challenges. We all get out of balance at times.<\/p>

Reflection<\/strong><\/h6>
  • Do you have any practices, like meditation or prayer, that help keep you grounded?<\/li>
  • If so, how do they help you?<\/li>
  • If not, what can you start practicing?<\/li><\/ul>
    Action<\/strong><\/h6>
    • Breathing is one way we can become \u201cgrounded\u201d and de-stress.<\/li>
    • Begin this day with three rounds of inhales and exhales, try to breath out longer than you breath in while counting each breath.<\/li>
    • Try to create a habit of breathing every day.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
