Grounding your body in the safety of right here, right now
To quiet worry or panic, it is best to acknowledge it is happening rather than trying to avoid it or distract from it. Re-orienting ourselves to the here and now, versus worrying about the future, can help connect to the safety of the present moment. When your body receives messages that you are safe, your body will disengage from ‘fight or flight’ and move into our parasympathetic nervous system, where there is safety and the ability to thrive.
