Grounding
Grounding is a technique of restoring attention to the current moment, body and surroundings, especially when feeling tense, anxious or overloaded.
Definition
Grounding may include noticing the contact of your feet with the ground, naming objects in the environment, conscious breathing, touching a cold surface, describing a place, or moving slowly. It doesn't solve the root of the problem, but it helps you return to regulation and presence when your attention wanders to alarms, memories or catastrophic scenarios.
