Chances are that you might be a bit wobbly on your feet these days. I know I have been. If you ever have struggled with mental health issues like me, these last couple of months might have felt a bit unsettling, to say the least.

I need you to listen to me:
What you are doing is not working.
You know what? I’ve been sensing that, too.
But even if I wanted, I’m too small to make a difference. The system is gigantic.

As I was laying in Savasana a few days ago, a really loud voice in my head said: “Confidence is the hottest thing ever” I smiled from ear to ear – there are certain things I hear myself think now that would have never been in my reality in the past. Daily thoughts around insecurity, fear, scarcity, etc. used to be on the thought-agenda only a few years back.

But if I'm honest, one of the reasons I haven't come back in winter all these years was because winters made me nervous. Having suffered from depression in my teens, the cold and gray season intimidated me since that's when I used to feel the lowest. And even though I have been depression-free for over a decade, facing winter was one thing I put off year after year.

In all the transitions and movement, I've found it incredibly helpful to cultivate some habits that have helped me to stay grounded.

Now, you don’t have to be traveling to feel the need to introduce practices in your life that keep you sane and grounded. There is enough scary, fast, intimidating and constantly changing information coming into our system at all times – and it only keeps speeding up.
