Grounding the Feet
This is helpful and you can do it when you are sitting or standing. Be aware of how your feet feel and any kind of different feelings that you have.
Breathing
Breathing is a great way to ground yourself. Allow the air to come into your body and into your lungs. After you do that, let the air come out of your mouth. As you do this, pay attention to how you are breathing and how it calms your mind.
Be a Tree
One thing that you can do is to pretend that you are a tree. Keep your body held up high and straight and rest your hands at your side or over your stomach. Let all the weight of your body go to your feet and let the energy move from your body to the ground under you.
Shower or Bath
You can take a cold shower or a cold bath in order to:

Electromagnetic
The qi of your body comes from the qi of heaven and earth. This is energy that comes from the planets and the sun and then energy that goes into your body. The earth will help you to make sure that this energy is strong by recharging it with lightning and solar movements.
Connecting to the Earth

Be a Tree
Make sure that you try the above technique of standing like a tree. This can help you if you do this barefoot.
