How can I ground myself better?

You don't need to calm down first — you need to feed something. That is the guidance in the one card I drew (单张牌, position: current guidance): The Empress, reversed — in this seat the blockage isn't a lack of care, it's care that stopped being fed: depletion, smothering someone or something, growth that got neglected.

That reframes the question you asked. "Grounding" usually means pulling inward and steadying yourself. The Empress reversed points the other way — outward, at something with a body and a rhythm that runs whether or not you feel settled. Steadiness comes from feeding, not from braking.

So, conditionally: if what you call "un-grounded" shows up mostly as fatigue, appetite or sleep drift, and a growing pile of half-done caring — then this is the feed-it reading, and steadiness follows from one thing that gets tended on a fixed schedule. If instead the restlessness shows up as craving stillness, withdrawal, or a sense that nothing outside you can fix it, then this card is not the whole answer — that pattern deserves a real conversation with someone who can see it with you, not a card.

The one step, for you alone, inside 48 hours: pick a single living thing — a plant, a meal you actually make, or one ten-minute routine — and give it a fixed daily time for seven days, no exceptions, no results attached. Write the time down. This card cannot tell you whether seven days will change how you feel; only the record of what you actually did those seven days can, and that record is yours alone.
