Hi sweetie,
Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but yoga helps me, particularly child pose, down dog, relaxation pose (corpse pose), and rag doll.Clearskies also posted a visualization grounding thing awhile back. I don't have a link, but it's something like this (probably mushing together hers and another I've read recently).
Stand quietly, and imagine a green cord or root growing out of your feet and another growing out of the base of your spine. Imagine these strong, flexible, healthy green roots growing down into the earth, seeking the earth's core. Feel the slight downward pull of them as they reach deeper and deeper towards the earth's center. As they reach the center, which is a core of lovely white energy and light, the roots start to take on this light and energy. Imagine the energy travelling back up the roots, up towards you. Feel the earth's pure, strong light move into your feet and the base of your spine. Feel this energy spread and flow through you, filling you with light as the roots connect you to the earth's center. Feel the balance and calm. When you have had your fill of this light, imagine the roots disengaging from the earth's center and pulling back into you, where they will stay strong and ready for the next time you seek grounding. Carry this balanced, grounded feeling with you throughout the day.
When I've taken a few minutes to do this, I've felt more relaxed, more centered, and less scattered.
Chammomile tea, too.
Thinking of you,
gg
