Papa sade’s head throbbed after another Zoom marathon. His cramped apartment buzzed with WiFi, but his body felt numb. On a change of mind, he stumbled to the tiny community garden downstairs, unshoe his sneakers, and stood barefoot in the dirt.

The ground was cool and lumpy, weeds tickling his feet. He’d read about "earthing" once—whatever, it’s free.

Minutes passed. A strange warmth crept up his calves, like the soil was charging dead batteries in his legs. His breath slowed. The headache dulled.

He came back the next day. And the next. 10 minutes of toes in grass became his reset button.

When his boss yelled, Mr Samson (who happens to be papa Sadé) didn’t shake—he’d picture roots growing from his feet, anchoring him.

His chronic backache? Gone.
Sleep?
Like a rock.

Now, he texts his daughter: ”Meet me at the park. Bring no shoes.”

This simple act can be a reset for your system. Not everything is work, work and work. Go and walk but first, unshoe your legs.
