Hi,
Today was difficult. I was totally overwhelmed with the a million students and their needs. I kind of shut them out of my mind when one group was leaving class and the other one was entering. I pretended to be engaged while blocking them out of my awareness. I did consciously became aware of my feet on the floor and my hands on my lap. I payed attention to my breathing. I tired to feel the temperature in the room and make note of it. And so on. I keep thinking about my feet and my breathing. Then for a moment amongst the chaos of kids coming into the room, I sort of zoned out. I was moving toward a hypnotic state for a few seconds. I relaxed myself. So maybe this was not called "grounding." Maybe it was "relaxation." But I started the exercise by being hyper aware of my feet and my surrounds. At rate, it helped. I slowed my heart rate down and picked back up with the new class. I could make my life easier and richer if I could get to sleep. I'm going to find a way. M. |

Dear Mari,
I think you did an excellent job! It sounds like there were aspects of grounding, and also aspects of relaxation. Being grounded and relaxed are not totally the same thing, but they do go hand in hand... overlap a little i think. And the things you did are good for both. Good Job! And yes, do keep on trying to get sleep built into your life. I hope tomorrow is less difficult. ~ waves ~ Quote:
