@glinda Thank you so much for taking this time and walking us through the various ways of grounding yourself. This is incredibly helpful. Do you feel like any one exercise is better than another? Or might it depend on the situation one finds themselves in?

For me it's the situation that I'm in But I do practice all of them every day as much as possible because some might work for a person and some might not I also play a game of solitaire on my phone if the grounding doesn't work for me or the situation is bad for me. My adice is to practice each one until a situation comes up then try one technique first if that doesn't work then try one of the others until that person finds what works for them. I try to remember to practice daily until I have the ways of grounding down I myself use the one of a sentence or the first sentence in a song I do that one at night in my head as I don't get to sleep right away at night but I would say practice each one everyday until the right one way works for a person then they can use that to make the grounding personal for them which means thinking of something they are comfortable with and use that in their grounding. Glad I could help. Glinda
