Staying Grounded

Bin Day Blues - Rick Lockwood | February 2026

Staying Grounded (Without Hugging Trees or Floating Off with the Seagulls)

Ever feel mentally yanked around by notifications, bad news, other people’s moods, and your own racing thoughts? It doesn’t take much for a normal day to tip into tension and distraction. This video shows you how to stay steady in the middle of everyday chaos — not by escaping it, but by handling it differently.

Why You Need This Video!

Modern life is loud, reactive, and constantly demanding your attention. It’s easy to absorb stress that isn’t yours, feed anxious thoughts without realising, and end the day feeling drained for no clear reason. This video isn’t about suppressing emotions or pretending things don’t bother you — it’s about learning to steady your footing so outside noise doesn’t dictate your inner state.

What You’ll Learn:

• Anchor your morning deliberately to set a calmer tone for the day.

• Limit mental junk input to protect your mood and focus.

• Move your body intentionally to release tension and clear your head.

• Set emotional boundaries confidently to avoid absorbing other people’s stress.

• Refocus on what genuinely matters to keep anxiety in perspective.

By the end of this video, you’ll discover simple ways to regain steadiness without overhauling your life. You’ll learn how to start calmer, protect your mental space, and respond rather than react. It’s practical grounding for real days’ work, responsibilities, interruptions and all.
