We live in this crazy, hectic, stressful world. Staying grounded can be a difficult thing to do. It’s so tempting — actually — it’s easy — to just allow ourselves to get swallowed up in it all and find that we’ve become a part of the problem.

It sure does happen to me — especially at this time of year. I was looking for something to talk to you about when I came across the following in a text file I had on my computer. The author of these great tips showed as “Anonymous”, but whoever it was, sure did have some wonderful ideas about how to stay reasonably grounded when we are so wrapped up in busyness. I know these tips made me stop and think — hopefully they’ll be of some help to you as well.

Here they are ….

Ten Tips To Stay Grounded

1. Live simply and live deliberately. By choosing not to get caught up in the details of this fast-paced world, you are doing your part to slow down the speed of life. You will also discover that you have more time to enjoy being alive.

2. Stay in touch with yourself. Soul searching, meditation, and journaling are just a few of the many activities you can take part in to stay aware and learn as much as you can about your emotions, reactions, likes, dislikes, dreams, and fears. Having a solid sense of self gives you a firm foundation for living in this world.

3. Support or teach others as often as you can. This can help you form connections with people while also giving you an opportunity to make the world a better place.

4. Consciously choose what you will allow into your being. The media bombards us with visions of hate, war, and pain. Be judicious about what you read, watch, and listen to.

5. Acknowledge the beauty that resides around you. Whether you live in a sprawling metropolis or a stereotypical suburb, there are natural and man-made wonders just waiting to be discovered by you.

6. Nurture your ties to your tribe. If you don’t have one, create a community that you can belong to. Modern life can be isolating. When you have a tribe, you have a circle that you are a part of. Its members - loved ones, friends, or neighbors - can be a source of support, caring, guidance, and companionship.

7. See the larger picture. Remember that the way you choose to live is not the only way to live. Widen your perspective by exploring other modes of being through research, travel, and discussion.

8. Embrace the challenges that life presents to you, and challenge yourself often. After a time, even the most exciting jobs or lifestyles can seem routine. Never stop assimilating new knowledge about whatever you are doing, and your life will never seem dull.

9. Move your body. In this busy world, it can be easy to live a sedentary life. Movement reacquaints us with our bodies and connects us to the earth in a visceral way. It also restores our vitality.

10. Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude. The world can be noisy, and we are subject to all kinds of noises nearly every waking hour. We are also often “on the go” and unable to relax. Being alone in a peaceful place and making time for quiet can help you stay in touch with yourself.

You can get your copy of this program — and any of the other guided manifesting meditations at my Enlightened Beings E-Store. Here’s what one person had to say about this …

“I am from Brazil living in New York, and since I was very young I read lots of books on self-help…I purchased your e-book about one month ago and am now at page 40 and reading everyday little by little, trying to absorb all the teachings you have in your manifesting e-book. I have read many many many books that never teach you the point of ‘how’ to get there, yet your book is different. It’s already making a difference in my life because when I get up in the morning the first thing I want to do is re-read again and again pages 40 to 50 because you really have magic on these pages. I hope I can understand every word and change my life. Thank you for sending very encouraging emails! I read and save every one of them. Have a great day!” ~Cida, NY, New York City
