Why is our easiest to achieve daily habit the hardest to make a “no compromise” routine? Like drinking water, we get little immediate stimulus from it unless we’re thirsty. Not like nicotine or caffeine, sugar or supplements… grounding has a positive long term compounding effects vs a short term stimulus. They are meant to enhance your total wellness not initiate a moment of satisfaction. Grounding is essential, like charging the battery to your phone, but we are adapted to being insulated and comfortable. The body is resilient and tolerant, but it desires consistent attention. A few things to consider- Grounding helps recovery mainly by reducing inflammation and nervous system stress. When you’re in direct contact with the earth (barefoot, conductive mats), free electrons from the ground enter the body. These electrons can: 1. Neutralize excess free radicalsHard training creates oxidative stress. Extra electrons may help buffer this, lowering post-workout inflammation and soreness. 2. Shift the nervous system toward parasympathetic, grounding tends to lower cortisol, heart rate, and sympathetic tone → better recovery state, improved sleep, faster tissue repair. 3. Improve blood flow and viscosity. Studies show reduced red blood cell clumping, which can improve microcirculation and oxygen delivery to working tissues. 4. Stabilize circadian rhythm better sleep = better growth hormone release = better recovery. As far as performance goes- Grounding stabilizes the nervous system, reduces hidden stress, and accelerates recovery. It lowers the systemic stress load after training, allowing faster return to baseline → better readiness for the next exercise or set. Don’t blow it off- Blow it up! We recommend putting into the calendar and setting a notification. 15-20 min daily even if you sleep on earthing sheets. Incorporate our other top 4 habits while getting grounded. Be fasted, move, and engage in intentional breath work. Want to learn more on this watch Earthing: The Movie.
