Free Phone Consultation

 


We’ve all been there: your to-do list is growing, your phone won't stop buzzing, and your mind is already ten steps ahead of your feet.

Whether you are navigating a high-pressure career, the mental load of parenting, or a demanding semester, it’s easy to feel like you’re floating somewhere above your own life.

When the world feels like too much, you don't need a complicated plan.

You just need to come back to the center.

At Life By Design Therapy™, our therapists support clients in moving from "survival mode" back into their bodies.

We often see that the most effective way to quiet a racing mind is to give the nervous system a direct signal of safety.

Here are 5 grounding tools to help your nervous system find its way back to calm:

  • Start by letting your body orient. Take a second to look around the room and notice where you are.

  • Feel the ground supporting you. Notice the literal connection between your feet and the floor.

  • Use your breath to signal safety. A slow exhale tells your brain the "emergency" is over.

  • Bring in temperature or texture. Splash cold water on your face or hold something soft to reset your senses.

  • Let your body move a little. A gentle stretch or a walk can help release built-up tension.

Grounding isn't about ignoring your responsibilities.

It’s about making sure you are actually present enough to handle them.

🌿 Ready to find your footing again?

If you are in California and looking for tools to manage the overwhelm, we are here to walk with you. Book a free phone consultation via the link in our bio to learn more about our therapy options.

Following these will keep you out of the common pitfalls that are typically experienced along the way. HAVE GOALS IN MIND To know you are healed, you have to know your definition of healed. This answer can be different for every person. To some people, this may be no longer being affected by relationship trauma. To other people, this may be finally getting your dream job or at least pinpointing what it is. While it’s okay to start without knowing these goals, you (perhaps with the help of your ...
