Are you an overthinker? You’re not alone! New findings reveal that more than half of Gen Z’s overthinking happens in the bedroom, with the shower and workplace not far behind. Despite knowing the refreshing benefits of being outdoors, many skip even stepping outside during winter.
The go-to solutions? Tech distractions like music, podcasts, or doomscrolling. While they might help temporarily, they often leave us feeling unfulfilled and disconnected. Enter grounding techniques—a game-changer for resetting our frazzled minds.
Therapist Tasha Bailey, aka the Real Talk Therapist, champions grounding as a powerful tool for battling those spirals. By tuning into our senses, we can refocus and calm our racing thoughts. Just a few minutes of grounding can activate the soothing side of our nervous system, giving our brains a much-needed pause.
Grounding is easy to practice anywhere, anytime. Whether it’s feeling something soft, savouring a flavour, or counting our breaths, these sensory nudges help reclaim our mental space. And here’s a cool twist—EXTRA has unveiled the ‘Grounded’ rug, bringing a bit of nature indoors to help you hit pause on overthinking without braving the cold.
