[00:00:07]You're going to want to come back to it and find out what tools work for you.

[00:00:12]Number one, lengthen your exhalation. I recommend inhaling for four, exhaling for six. Do this three times, 10 times, 30 times. I practice this daily.

[00:00:24]Two, feel your feet on the floor. Push your feet in the floor and feel yourself grounded. This helps you get out of your head and into your body.

[00:00:36]Move the stress out. Walk, stretch, shake, dance, get the energy out.

[00:00:45]Four, use your senses. Look around. What do you see? What do you hear?

[00:00:51]What do you feel? Feel your pants, feel your hair, feel your shoulders.

[00:00:58]Five, put your hand on your heart and one hand on your belly and breathe. I do this for several minutes morning, noon, and night.

[00:01:10]Six, reduce overstimulation.

[00:01:14]You want less noise, less screen time.

[00:01:17]Don't have TVs on in the background.

[00:01:19]Intense music stimulates the nervous system and you want to relax yourself and calm yourself.

[00:01:29]Silence, light music, calm spaces.

[00:01:34]Five, use rhythm. Humming, chanting, tapping on your high heart, or doing EFT or the emotional freedom technique, which is a tapping technique through various acupressure points.

[00:01:50]Number eight, eat regularly and stay hydrated. Blood sugar spikes can cause you to feel anxiety, ungrounded.

[00:02:01]Also a tip, eat protein for breakfast and eat breakfast very soon in your morning so that you can feel that grounded feeling.

[00:02:11]Nine, be with safe people.

[00:02:14]We regulate through relationship.

[00:02:18]And number 10, stop overthinking.

[00:02:22]It doesn't help. When you feel like you're in your head, I want you to get into your body. Move, dance, shake. Feel your body release with your breath and let go of the mind wheel.
