Each day, find one physical object in your home that has "weight" and "texture"—a stone, a heavy book, a piece of wood—and hold it for 60 seconds to anchor your senses.

Day 1: VISUALIZATION:

Ground yourself in peace.

Day 2: AFFIRMATION:

"I am the steady ground upon which my life is built."

Day 3: EARTH INHALE BREATH

Inhale. Inhale for 4, imagining breath rising from the soles of your feet; hold for 4, feeling the weight of your hips; exhale for 8, sighing out the future.
