Full transcript of The Highland Cow Grounding Technique
This Highland cow has better mental health than you do. Meet Roy. His absolute favorite game is sliding down steep hills on his back. When he reaches the bottom, he just lies there, staring at his hooves. It looks silly, but this is pure somatic grounding. Roy is physically releasing cortisol through unstructured, joyful play. We humans try to schedule our relaxation into rigid fifteen-minute blocks. Maybe it's time you stopped optimizing, and just started sliding.
