According to Merriam-Webster, to be grounded in something means to be based firmly on that thing, or to have a solid foundation in it. It implies a strong understanding of the basics, a practical or theoretical basis, and a connection to reality. Being grounded in reality means being aware of the present moment, having a strong sense of self, and knowing the difference between what is real and not real. A grounded person is considered mentally and emotionally stable, sensible, and realistic.
