Are You Grounded?

 
ROOT noun: the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support, typically underground carrying nourishment to the rest of the plant via numerous branches and fibers; the basic cause, source, or origin of something.  (Core. Sow/Plant/Establish deeply and firmly.)
 
This word holds a lot of weight. Our story can be so diverse. When we try and take steps without fully embracing it, our self-worth or the soul connection to our rootedness, we are destined to fail. It is human nature. 

I have found over years of recovery that foundation is everything. When I jump into any situation without first grounding myself with an understanding of self and what I want to receive from the end result; I simply am setting myself up for failure.

When I pause first to reflect, I walk grounded and with empowerment that allows the story to unfold as it is meant to be.

How are you grounded within your journey?
