Grounding is a technique that aims to heal an overactive nervous system and reduce inflammation, a contributing factor to anxiety, by connecting the body to the Earth's electrical energy. Research on grounding is still limited, but many experts recommend grounding for an array of benefits, which we will explore further today.\n\nGrounding can provide us with improved sleep, better energy and vitality, and a reduction in stress and inflammation, which are all aspects that can either reduce or exacerbate anxiety. It can also provide us with a sense of stability, present-moment awareness, and calmness. We can achieve grounding through simple exercises such as barefoot walking on natural surfaces, engaging in gardening activities, outdoor exercises, and spending more time in nature.\n\nApart from this, we can also take the help of specially designed grounding mats, sheets, and shoes that can connect us with the earth's energy. Although this is still an emerging field of study, there is no harm in trying these practices to see if they work for you, especially if you are someone who frequently experiences anxiety.\n\nManaging anxiety boils down to making changes that we can, and accepting those that we cannot. Therefore, it is essential to take care of ourselves by engaging in activities that reduce stress and anxiety levels. In conclusion, getting outside and putting our feet on the ground while being close to nature can provide us with a range of benefits and improved mental health.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
