    Three Simple Ways to Feel More Grounded

    This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our privacy policy page for details.

    Get back in your body and feel more grounded with these three simple tips!

    1. Connect to Mother Earth (AKA Earthing)

    Walking and standing barefoot on the earth provides a direct connection to vital, healing energy. It is one of the most simple yet profound ways to ground. Studies have shown that standing and walking barefoot on the earth sends electrons through the body, providing countless benefits. Some of these include boosting the immune system, increasing antioxidant activity, increasing energy and reducing anxiety (to name a few). 

    Even without walking barefoot, just being in nature or getting outside provides similar effects to Earthing. Just think of feeling the sun on your face, the breeze on your skin and fresh air in your lungs, these three little blessings of life can bring such a sense of balance and peace within us. Nature recharges us, and Mama Earth absorbs energy that is no longer serving us, a balancing act within itself. There is a tremendous amount we can learn just by sitting with nature and observing.

    2. Breathe

    Yep breathing! Simply taking big ole belly breaths can do wonders at bringing us out of our heads and back into our bodies. Just taking five minutes a day to connect to your breath can help to reduce anxiety and help you feel more grounded. A great practice is to check in with how you're breathing throughout the day, take notice when your breathing changes. Maybe it gets shorter while you're driving or when you're at work, perhaps you even find yourself holding your breath at times throughout the day. Whenever you observe this happening, consciously take a few deep belly breaths. The more you breathe from your belly, the easier it will become to spot when you're not!

    Try this simple practice to centre yourself whenever you feel you need to come back down to earth.

    Close your eyes, place one hand on your belly and take a deep, slow breath. Feeing your belly rise on the inhale and fall on the exhale. 

    If you're a visual person, you can visualize a golden or red light (or whatever colour you associate with earth) flowing up from the earth's core, into the souls of your feet, rippling throughout your body and finally wrapping all around you.

    3. Eat Grounding Foods

    Last but certainly not least, certain foods provide a grounding effect, many of them being seasonal autumn vegetables, as nature knows best! Root vegetables (especially downward growing) have a powerful grounding energy; some of these include radish, beets, carrots and turnip. But that's not all, foods that are naturally red, warming spices, nuts, seeds, legumes, pastured-raised and wild-caught animal protein, along with vegetables that grow low to the ground such as squash, pumpkin and zucchini, are also excellent grounding options.

    There you have it, three simple grounding practices, pretty much anyone can do!

    If there’s one smoothie you’ll find me slurpin If there’s one smoothie you’ll find me slurping back in lower temperatures, it’s this Vanilla Spice Adaptogenic Smoothie 😋
 
Thanks to the warming notes of cinnamon and allspice, it's great for those chilly mornings. However, it’s the rich vanilla flavour that makes it so irresistible!

Especially when using @javasistersvanilla Vanilla Extract. It comes with the bean in, which gives it a stronger, more robust flavour, almost like you are using the bean itself! So. Dang. Delicious 👏

Add some extra lavishness and warmth to your smoothie by topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and you will be in heaven ✨

    2022, it's been a slice ✌️ As each year bring 2022, it's been a slice ✌️

As each year brings, 2022 brought many moments to be grateful for, a few new skills and lots of growth through both the struggles and triumphs. 2022, for me, was truly a year of tuning out to tune in. And I’m so excited to see what this next chapter brings.

Cheers to an even better 2023! 🥂

Happy New Year, wild ones ♡
    What’s your must-have holiday cookie? For me, b What’s your must-have holiday cookie?

For me, being a sucker for those warming spices, Gingerbread is at the top of that list. A close second to my Gran’s shortbread (which I still have yet to master a healthified version 🤞).

But, at least for now, I can count on these crunchy gingerbread cookies to satisfy my festive cravings.

Traditionally spiced with just the right amount of crunch, they taste just like the real deal. But, without the refined sugar, gluten and dairy ⛄️
