A lot of people talk about getting “grounded” . . . what does it mean?
It’s not a place you arrive at, then STAY for all time.
It’s a state of mind and body that you return to again and again.
It’s the knowledge that things inevitably WILL go out of balance, and being prepared.
When you understand the basic building blocks of well-being, you notice right away when something isn’t working right in your physical body, your thinking mind, your emotional landscape or your most important relationships. What you notice becomes your cue to activate intentional grounding practices that shift the momentum back towards equilibrium.
If you’ve ever been told that your desire for self-care was self-indulgence, that was a lie. Consciously curating your well-being so you are already nourished when you walk out your front door is more important today than it has ever been.
The truth is that the ground we stand on is shakier than ever and the future promises more of the same:
- Aggressive algorithms relentlessly target your attention and self-regulation to hack your freedom of choice.
- It’s getting harder to know if you’re talking to a real person when you chat online or answer the phone.
- Or if the news is “fake” or true - or even relevant to you.
- Legacy institutions are crumbling without any clear alternatives being offered to safeguard well-being.
- Everyone you meet is dealing with as much stress as you are - or maybe more!
How do you stay grounded in THIS reality?

How do you stay grounded
in THIS reality?
The Daily Ground offers much more than just a grab bag of stress relief protocols; it’s an integrated framework for keeping connected to what’s most important in the face of massive uncertainty.
The core skill that only gets more important as the world destabilizes is your capacity to learn.

The core skill that only gets more important as the world destabilizes is
your capacity to learn.
As every aspect of daily life gets redefined and unprecedented events become more and more “the norm”, there are
4 core values that remain essential to your well-being and your ability to safeguard the well-being of those you love:
Kindness:
In today’s world, there’s no guarantee that your previous experience prepares you for what’s next - that’s not your fault. Recognizing that you deserve happiness as much as anyone else does - and not blaming yourself for what can’t be changed about the past - places you in the strongest possible position to learn something new.
Learning ALWAYS involves navigating what you don’t know and inevitably making mistakes. From the ground of kindness, mistakes become lessons and experience gained. In a culture that encourages constant comparison, competitive communication and superficial signaling, feeling “not good enough” is a spreading disease. Cultivating kindness towards yourself and others breaks this toxic cycle and opens the path to transformation.
Connection:
The simplest thing to do in the face of pain, confusion, scarcity or hardship is to turn away. Yet averting your gaze from reality can only make your blindspots larger. That’s why connection depends on attention, the willingness to turn towards experience, to face the music even when it seems out of tune.
Seeing and acknowledging what’s really happening right in front of your eyes is the prerequisite for being able to respond. Seeing and acknowledging another person for exactly who they are is the only basis for establishing common ground. Distractions are inevitable, but the more you can focus your attention, the more you will see the resources for nourishment that are available to you here and now.
Curiosity:
No matter how far you’ve come, there is always something you don’t know, can’t predict or have never seen before. Developing a welcoming attitude towards all things mysterious, paradoxical - or even downright dissonant - is a superpower that increases flexibility, inspires engagement and breeds resilience.
When you aren’t merely tolerant, but actively open and willing to be impacted by other people, new experiences, differences of opinion and all manners of deviating from routine, your world expands. Judgment shuts down connection and creativity while narrowing perception. Curiosity is the antidote.
Play:
A vast and growing body of research demonstrates that play is the most effective form of learning, because it is joyful, meaningful, actively engaging, iterative and socially interactive. Some studies have shown that new neural pathways that are normally formed through around 400 repetitions of a new action can be built with as few as 10-20 repetitions when enacted through play.
Being playful involves dropping attachment to outcomes, attuning to the frequency of shared enjoyment, accepting situations as they are while finding new ways to respond that feel good. Play is at the heart of the improvisation that daily life requires and opens a creative middle way between blind conformity and resentful rebellion. It’s the art of matching your energy to the energies that surround you and generates fresh energy that nourishes your soul.

Your host for the Daily Ground: Seth Dellinger
My name is Seth Dellinger. I am a teacher and life-long student of creativity and the healing arts. My greatest joy is to hold space for the transformation of people who have made the conscious decision to aim their lives in the direction of realizing their greatest potential for contributing to the wellbeing of humanity.
In this historical moment of "metacrisis" or "time between worlds", I am an optimist, finding daily encouragement in the infinite possibilities that appear when we learn how to fall in love with our lives.
The strategies and practices I offer to you in the Daily Ground are the result of my interest in developing "Anytime Anywhere Awareness" practices for busy people who can't afford to regularly set aside extended time for self-care. Through my work with hundreds of clients over the last decade, especially the members of the Grounded Connection community, I have synthesized a lifetime of learning into a powerful collection of accessible and easily repeatable processes that reliably shift you back towards ground whenever you are feeling disconnected.
What's it like to work with me?
Grounded Connection has given me the tools and resources to better navigate and enjoy my life. Now, instead of bracing for the inevitable bumps along the road, I am more relaxed and, at the same time, feel more ready than ever to handle whatever comes my way. I experience significantly less pain and more energy on a consistent basis. I have a better relationship with myself as well as the other people in my life." - KG
"When I first met Seth I was struggling a lot with staying present, with my body, with my work, with I guess you could say life in general. I wanted to improve the way I was moving, for sure. But what I got was way more than that. I now know how to slow down and really feel at ease in my self. I know how to listen more deeply." - JN
"My headaches have gone, my jaw is relaxing, I'm more aware of my breath, I'm more aware of my fear of expressing myself openly, I am more grounded. This has fed my curiosity and creativity in my work. Thanks Seth!” - ML
"I always find myself fortunate when teachers cross my path who show me the way to unlearning, the way to decondition from the clichés of the collective, and how I can learn for myself through my own experience rather than relying on information thrown at me by the outside world. Seth is definitely one of them" - CU
