Being grounded; why bother?
How many times have you heard the advice to “be more grounded”. It’s one of those motherhood statements that you agree with but don’t always remember to implement.
And if you don’t implement something it either means that you haven’t made it a priority or you don’t know how. That’s certainly been the case with me.
So why haven’t I always made it a priority?
- Sometimes it’s because I’ve overwhelmed with so many things on my plate, which is precisely the time when I would benefit the most from grounding myself.
- Sometimes it’s because my monkey mind just forgets how important being grounded is so maybe it would be useful for me (and you) to explore that one a bit.
Grounding, by definition, helps me get out of my head and into my body. It helps me land my ideals into physical reality. It gives me a better perspective on my priorities, on how to get things done. It’s a reality check on whether I really want something or whether it’s meant to remain in fantasy-land.
If I don’t ground myself, I’m much more likely to:
- Not accomplish things because I’m too much in theory, not enough in practical steps
- Deny reality
- Be vulnerable to others’ opinions because I’m not solid in my own
- Be overwhelmed as I’m not sure what’s a priority, and I don’t have a clear picture of what must be done to get to where I want to go
- Not know what I want
- Be indecisive
It’s a paradox; being grounded means paying more attention to my physical world, which sounds more superficial than my deeper thoughts. Yet if I’m not grounded, I’m much more likely to circle around “frothy thoughts” that are not solid enough to allow the creation of what I want (or think I want).
Hum…these are great reasons for an entrepreneur to remember to ground him or herself; practical, having a direct impact on business success, and well, grounded!

You are so right Alyssa; life is about waayyy more than watching TV 
. Nothing wrong with having our head in the clouds. I find that there’s a lot of richness in bringing our body in the mix, in being “here”. And while I’m here, I definitely don’t want to spend much of my time watching TV or be devoted to uninteresting mindless routines.
I dont see what’s wrong with having your head in the clouds sometimes.
Are we really here just to work watch tv and die.
there has to be more to life than this
