Finding Ground During Change
Change rarely announces itself politely. It often slips in quietly at first, a shift in your routine, a restlessness in your body, a sense that something familiar no longer fits. Then, almost overnight, it can feel like the life you built has rearranged itself, and you are left trying to find your footing in the middle of it all.
“Grounding is not about control. It's remembering who you are while life changes around you.”
Grounding is not about controlling change or trying to hold everything still. It is about remembering what steadiness feels like inside of you. Even when the outer world feels chaotic, your breath, your body, and your awareness can become a place of homecoming.
Last week, a woman in The Soul Circle shared that she had been waking up each morning feeling like she was bracing for impact. The more she tried to power through, the more disconnected she felt. We talked about the ACE Technique, Acknowledge, Connect, Engage. When she put it into practice, she realized she had been skipping the acknowledge part for years. The moment she began naming what was actually happening in her body and emotions, she softened with relief. That small act of truth telling became her doorway back to herself.
When you acknowledge what is real, you stop wasting energy pretending you are fine. When you connect with your body through breath, gentle movement, or stillness, you remember you have a safe place within you. When you engage with one small thing that matters, a walk, a call, a boundary, you begin to rebuild a rhythm that supports you. Change stops feeling like something happening to you and starts becoming something happening through you.
Grounding is not a one time act. It is a relationship. Every time you notice you have drifted into overwhelm or worry, you have another chance to return. You can feel your feet, take a slow breath, and remind your nervous system that you are safe in this moment. Over time, this becomes your quiet power, the ability to stay centered in your truth while everything else shifts.
In this season, many women are learning that finding ground does not mean going back to who they were. It means meeting who they are becoming. It means allowing themselves to evolve without apology, to choose peace over performance, and to move at the pace of trust instead of urgency.
If you are in that in between space, the one where the old story is fading but the new one has not yet taken shape, know that you are not broken. You are being remade. The Soul Circle is where we gather to hold that remaking with compassion and connection. In January, the next round of Clarity Within will take that work even deeper, guiding you to rebuild self trust and clarity from the inside out.
Take a deep breath. Feel your feet against the floor. Let yourself be here in this moment without needing to rush forward or look back. This is what finding ground feels like, a quiet remembering that you are already enough, and that you can meet change without losing yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to find ground during change
Answer: Finding ground means reconnecting with your inner steadiness when everything around you feels uncertain. Many people try to control change or wait until life settles before feeling safe again. True grounding happens when you find stillness within movement, learning to be centered even when life is not predictable by trusting your body, your breath, and your ability to choose what matters most.
How does the ACE Technique help me feel more grounded
Answer: The ACE Technique helps regulate your nervous system and bring you back to presence. ACE stands for Acknowledge, Connect, and Engage. It guides you to notice what is true, reconnect with your body, and take one aligned step forward. Instead of reacting to overwhelm, you begin responding with clarity. It is a powerful yet gentle way to return to yourself during transitions.
I feel like I have lost my identity in this season. Where do I start
Answer: Start by giving yourself permission to pause and listen to what is shifting inside you. Losing your sense of identity often means you are outgrowing old patterns or roles. Begin by acknowledging what no longer fits and let that be okay. Then reconnect with your body and intuition, they will guide you toward what feels aligned. Rebuilding identity is not about fixing yourself, it is about remembering yourself.
How can I stay grounded when I am caring for everyone else
Answer: You cannot pour from an empty cup, grounding starts with you. Caregivers and leaders often ignore their own needs to keep everything running. When you center yourself, you lead with calm rather than depletion. Simple grounding rituals, breathing, stepping outside, journaling, remind your system that you matter too. From that space, your care becomes sustainable.
Why do I feel both excited and anxious about change
Answer: Excitement and anxiety share the same energy, your body simply labels them differently. When life shifts, your nervous system lights up. That same surge that feels like anxiety can also be curiosity. Grounding helps you regulate the charge so you can interpret it as readiness instead of fear. The ACE Technique can turn that inner rush into a source of energy for what is next.
How does grounding connect to clarity
Answer: You cannot find clarity when your nervous system is in chaos. Grounding creates the calm needed for clear decisions. When you feel safe in your body, your thoughts naturally organize. The fog lifts, and your next steps become visible. That is why grounding is the foundation of my Clarity Within program. It brings your mind, body, and spirit into coherence so you can move forward with confidence.
How can community support me in finding ground
Answer: Community reminds you that you do not have to navigate change alone. Healing in isolation keeps you in survival mode. The Soul Circle offers connection and reflection with other women walking through similar seasons. When you witness others grounding and rising, it reinforces your own sense of stability. Togetherness is grounding. It is how we remember we are not alone in our becoming.
