How to ground

There are many different ways to ground, and not all ways will work for you. It may take many trials and errors, but you will find a way that works!

Here's some ways that help me!

Stimming (shaking hands, moving my body, fidgeting with sensory tools, etc)

Walking on grass with bare feet

Holding/rubbing crystals (doesn't even have to be crystals that are for grounding)

Drawing/doodling
