Before my psychotic break in 2013, I never had to think to myself “ground yourself.” Now it is a practice that I’m so grateful for.
I first learned about grounding at an outpatient program. The facilitator was using words and inflections I was foreign too. She seemed like a very spiritual person. It really annoyed me but she planted a seed. I would use the grounding technique I learned - sitting with feet flat on the ground. The physical aspect of grounding allowed me to train myself to be grounded mentally. Which allowed me to listen to grounded thoughts: you are one (with self & others), I am most powerful when I surrender to groundedness, and there is peace in balancing voices in my head. I learned about tool boxes in these programs and being grounded is one of them. I benefit from it in times when I feel out of touch and/or chaotic. To be grounded is to be peaceful.
