You know that feeling when someone asks how your week’s been—and you genuinely can’t remember what you did yesterday? Same.
In this video version of my latest Wannabe Wisdom essay, I share how a grounding practice involving alarms, bullet points, and the occasional whiff of my hair - has somehow made me feel less anxious, more present, and a tiny bit more creatively open.
Also featuring: my dog Thor (emotional support lab with zero respect for personal space), some thoughts on Rick Rubin’s book on Creativity.
Watch the video—and let me know: what’s your version of staying grounded?
What do you think of this video essay format? I’m starting to bring my words to life—giving them a voice, a rhythm, a face. If you prefer to read or listen, you’ve got options: the original written essay lives here—How Grounding Exercises Made Me (Slightly) Less Delusional—and the podcast version is just a click away on the right.
Have a great day!
