I saw this online and wanted to share. Take what you like, leave what doesn't work for you but at least try out these strategies next time you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

You walk-your-talk, you harvest
the mini acts of triumph,
recuperate and integrate
your nervous system's present time
organization of the past,
the way the inescapable mistreatment
replaced your human longing to connect
with self-protection patterns on default;
You name your triggers, learn to
manage your flashbacks, you master
grounding techniques,
and all that jazz
until primroses heralding your win-win,
and all that seems so hard today
becoming your warm-up.

Watched sports on TV as a distraction of my flashbacks, gonna color some today, fed my hummingbirds and greased the pole to keep ants away! Took a walk to the store and back. Grateful for a calm and safe day!
Good night.
If there's anything to learn from Frozen...
🎶THE PAST IS IN THE PAST🎶
I'm finding it difficult to stop obsessing over the past and future, but grounding techniques tend to help with that. #DBT
Name three things around you from each of the 5 senses. Sight, sound, taste, smell and touch. That's a trick that helps me to come down from a flashback, panic attacks, and helps ease my dissociation.
Hope it can help you guys too!

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it might be tough to remember the many different ways to ground yourself, but one thing you can do is focus on your breathing. Maybe you have a favorite way to calm your racing mind and vibrating body. Perhaps it’s through belly breathing or square breathing. Or maybe you like to practice “bee breathing” if you’re in a space where you can make a humming sound. Whichever it is, share your favorite technique in the comments below!

I just walked 2200 steps in my house because I can’t go outside due to the fires in CA right now. I am really proud of myself for taking 2200 intentional steps! 😁 #Fibromyaliga #Depression #grounding #RadicalAcceptance
What’s one thing you do that feels calming to your soul? Some of my younger parts like to paint and when they are become focused on working on something it calms our entire system (i.e. calms me down, calms other parts and calms the nervous system) #DissociativeIdentityDisorder #TraumaRecovery #grounding #copingskills #Art #CPTSD

As we finish out this week’s grounding challenge, we want you to share what reminds you to focus on the here and now. It could be anything — from placing a sticky note someplace you’ll see it to setting an alert on your phone or computer to take “five.”
Bonus points if you tell us what you’ll do to stay present and grounded in the weeks to come.

What’s something you need that might help you recharge and reconnect to the present moment?
🛀🏼 - “Me” time
😴 - A short nap
📱 - Someone to talk to
🌤 - Fresh air (even if it’s just opening a window for a little bit)
💬 - Something else (tell us in the comments!)
