Original Advice

DO: Ground your body: breath, feet, texture, warmth.

Anchor Before the Storm Owns You

Your mind is not the problem. Your ungrounded body is the amplifier. When anxiety spikes, you abandon the flesh and sprint into forecasts and catastrophes. That’s self-betrayal in slow motion. The world isn’t louder today; your feet just aren’t on the floor. Stop negotiating with spirals. Come back into the animal. Breath first. Heels heavy. Jaw unclenched. Warmth, not willpower.

Nerves listen to sensation, not logic. Gravity is free; use it. Weight your attention into soles, calves, hips. Texture gives the brain a map when thought goes static. Warmth widens blood vessels and short-circuits alarm. Slow exhale drags the brake. This is not a ritual; it’s a switch. Train it on the boring days so it works on the wild ones.
