Being "grounded" means being in control of your mental and emotional self, being less influenced and affected by negative events around you. To be grounded we need to be flexible, adaptable and resilient. 2020 has been a tough year, but it's not too late to develop coping skills that can help you adapt, manage, and accept change - skills that can help you for the rest of your life. Being grounded also means being fully present with our Selves, our relationships, and the world around us, including fostering healthy boundaries and self-care. Resilience is a natural outcome of being grounded and adaptable. This interactive session also includes a Yoga for Stress mindful movement class. Yoga is a great way to embody self-care, create present-moment awareness, and feel grounded.
