Roots

from How to Be Human · host Anna Toonk

What does it mean to feel ‘rooted’ or ‘grounded’ in your environment? By definition, according to the Webster-Miriam dictionary, these terms are described as “the feelings of being firmly established and connected to your surroundings”. This meaning, however, varies between individuals; it depends on whether the pieces of your built environment are functioning harmoniously or are in a state of disarray. It also depends on how aligned you feel with yourself and the people who surround you. There is one caveat that should be mentioned, the feeling of not being rooted in your environment may affect your overall sense of safety. This may be the result of environmental barriers and negative inner dialogues that permeate your stream of consciousness. The more we work on this, the more we can feel more grounded in our surroundings and support others whose safety is truly being threatened. So, what can you do to feel more connected or rooted in your environment? Is there hope? Are there solutions, techniques, and approaches that can help? In short, yes, there is and we might have some answers. In this week’s episode, we take an in-depth look at how you can manifest these connections and develop a stronger sense of security in your everyday life. We also discuss tips for handling and saving money, embracing life changes, and creating positive inner talk to feel more rooted in your surroundings. Join us in this week’s episode of How To Be Human as we dive into these topics, and much more.
