You know that feeling just before the wheels of a plane touch down on the runway, when you are hovering unsteadily above the ground? That\u2019s how I felt for weeks after returning home from two months of traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve felt good, and things have been going well, but my wheels haven\u2019t quite touched the ground. If this is happening to you too due to travel, time changes, illness, or another personal struggle, I hope this little guide will help you feel more grounded and more at home (in your home, body and life).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"feeling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Find a place for everything.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unpack your suitcase if you\u2019ve been traveling, start the laundry and find a place for everything. If you\u2019ve been home but struggling with something other than travel, chances are things have gotten cluttered or messy. Take time to clean up, sort things out, and re-set to zero<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dip back into your daily routines.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your sleep schedule is off, and you\u2019ve completely lost touch with your morning routine or other daily routines don\u2019t expect to jump back in and pick up where you left off. Instead dip back in. For example, if you used to write three pages every morning, start with one. If you were going to a local yoga class everyday but it\u2019s been awhile since you\u2019ve been in the studio, dip back with a grounding practice at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Under-commit.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t landed your plane, it\u2019s probably the wrong time to commit to another flight. Edit your calendar if needed and say no. If you have trouble saying no, this will help<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Fast.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don’t mean stop eating. Instead, take a little break from sugar, alcohol, the nightly news, reality tv, complaining or something else you may have been using to soothe or remove yourself from your current situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Go overboard on self-care.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Face-masks, long walks, early bedtimes … do what ever it takes to take extra good care of yourself. Not judging your feelings or how long it\u2019s taking to land your plane goes under the self-care category too. Giving yourself permission to feel what you feel is part of the grounding process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Ask for help.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to land your plane alone. Doesn\u2019t every pilot have a co-pilot? Create a landing team by asking your family and friends for their patience, getting more professional help if you need it, or other treatments that may be helpful. Consider acupuncture, massage, restorative yoga, or other things to add to your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Move.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Move your body, move your breath, move your furniture, move your appointments. When things are up in the air on the inside, they feel up in the air on the outside too. Big intentional breathing and stretching will bring you back to earth. Moving other items, like things in your home or on your calendar will help you feel more grounded on the outside, which in turn, will make you feel more grounded on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Trust that you will land.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve hovered before, and gotten anxious about when I\u2019ll land, what\u2019s next, when things will be clear and when I\u2019ll feel more at home. That anxiety delays the landing, so now when I feel the anxiety bubbling up, I remind myself that I always land. I always touch down. I always come home. You will too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
