Ever take your shoes off and just stand in the grass?
Try it... I mean really try it.
No phone, no agenda—just your bare feet on the earth. Feels kinda like plugging into a charger you didn’t even know you needed, right?
That’s not just your imagination. There’s real science behind “grounding” or “earthing.”
When your bare skin touches soil, grass, or sand, you're reconnecting with the natural electrical charge of the earth. And your body responds. It calms. It balances. It heals.
Now, I’m not saying barefoot walks will fix everything—but if your nerves are fried and your back’s tight, maybe it’s not more caffeine or another scroll through your phone you need. Maybe it’s dirt. Real, honest-to-goodness dirt.
And here’s the best part: the Earth asks nothing from you but presence.
That’s it.
Action tip? Kick your shoes off today. Find a patch of earth. Stand there. Breathe deep. That’s therapy you don’t have to pay for.
I’ve believed in this for a long time. When I was in Utah in February, it was warm out, and daily (except for 2 days when we had snow and rain), I took off my shoes and ran through the grass in front of my hotel. And I’m still looking for a place that would allow barefoot golf…………..
