(Adapted from Second Sight: An Intuitive Psychiatrist Tells Her Story and Show You How to Tap Your Own Inner Wisdom (Three Rivers Press, 2010) by Judith Orloff MD)

In my new book, Second Sight I recount my journey to accept and embrace my intuitive abilities. An important part of this process was learning how to center myself so I did not absorb the negativity in the world into my own body.  Check out this article from my book with important tips about how to do this.

How To Center Yourself: Tips To Practice Every Day

Tip 1 Watch your diet. Notice what foods feel good, which do not. Your body will tell you what it requires. Usually, denser foods-meat, chicken, fish--have more of a grounding effect than grains, vegetables, or fruit. I'm not a big meat eater but if my body announces, "I need meat," I will eat it. Listen to your body's signals. Notice how they fluctuate.
 
Tip 2 Practice Anonymous Service
. Do something nice for someone without taking credit for it. Hold the elevator for a little old lady. Let someone go before you in line. Serve food to the homeless. Give a charitable donation. Anything that shifts the focus from you to helping others. No deed is too small. The act of giving--especially when you're most frazzled--opens your heart, is regenerative.
