hi vienna, grounding techniques are absolutely useful tools in dealing with stress...

spend about 5 mins, several times a day if possible, and choose a place in your mind that is really peaceful.. such as a quiet meadow..

let yourself walk into the area, slowly, take a look around at all the peaceful things nearby.. let yourself get a feeling for this environment.. become a part of it, not only an observer in your mind...

peaceful feelings surround you.. there might be a few objects you can make an emotional connection with in the meadow.. a leaf or butterfly, a friendly squirrel.. something that calms and pleases you...

let yourself feel the safety there for as long as you can...

practice often .. it doesnt really take forever to begin feeling some benefits of relaxing this way.. in time the calm will become your new nature
