What have you found works for you?? One of my issues is if something doesn't work when I try it I feel like a failure and get frustrated and angry with myself.

i have this lava rock essential oils bracelet- it holds the scent a few days and is very helpful to focus on when I need grounding. Smells in general help. The feel of things under me (furniture) on me (clothing, weighted blanket) also help.
everything wont work every time- thats why you add several tools to your toolbox. dont get discouraged! you can do it!
