Some Relaxation Ideas To Enhance Grounding
1. Carry a notebook with you and jot down thoughts (particularly helpful if you have DID)
2. Place a drop of essential oil on a tissue and carry it around with you, smell it to feel relaxed and it may help ground you. The most inexpensive essential oil is probably lavender and it is known for its relaxing properties.
4. Look at photos of happy times
5. Emergency Banana - full of vitamins and minerals to give you a boost!
6. Good quality dark chocolate - Full of antioxidants for a little soothing pick me up!
7. STOP every hour - If you are doing work/homework or even just growing Tumblr stop every hour and take a little break. Check you are working productively and take a few sends to refocus your priorities.
8. Shut your mouth!! Vow not to talk for a short while a day… Maybe while you eat or check your emails. As you are silent on the outside notice how your inner voice/s remains loud. Try to calm that/them too.
9. Build in rewards - If life is full of demands build a “treat window” into everyday even if it is just buying a flower or treating yourself to a lush bath…. see where you go with it!!
10. Ask for help - If you are struggling and stressed with something, stop take a break, and ask for help!
11. Stand up … If you are sitting down all day stand up for a while. This encourages honesty and communication and relaxation believe it or not!
12. Set Goals - Set small and large goals for your day, week, month or year!!
13. Learn to let go - VERY DIFFICULT!! But if something is stressing you after a period of time has passed, for example an argument but it is too late or inappropriate to go back to it ….. LET IT GO! Keep working on this one.
14. Techno - Phobes Unite!! - TURN ALL YOUR TECHNOLOGY OFF (for a while!!) read a book, draw, write and just generally chill.
15. Plant some flowers or seeds - This is grounding and relaxing and can have a yummy or pretty outcome!
16. Detox your …. BEDROOM (and body if you want!) Have a clear out, send things to the charity shop, clean, hoover, dust, purge your bedroom!! It is surprising how good and satisfying it feels.
17. Shower Meditation - Have a hot or cold shower feel the water drumming over you let it work out any tension or preoccupations.
18. Be a tourist for a day - Go out even just to your most local town, visit shops you don’t usually go in, have an unusual snack, take the bus and look in the library! It’s surprising how fun and chilled it will be because you won’t really be anywhere new!
19. Customise clothing - Get some iron on patches or fabric paint go mad on your plainest clothes (let your little alters have a go if you have them!)
20. Make Mud Pie’s - This again is an outdoor activity that involves getting dirty and grounding. Just be a kid again and relax!!
