stay grounded
Keep your footing
Stay grounded means to remain humble, stable, or connected to reality despite circumstances that might encourage otherwise.
Success, fame, or wealth can tempt people toward arrogance or detachment, so someone who stays grounded maintains perspective: Despite her fame, she stays grounded by keeping close to old friends.
The phrase also applies to maintaining emotional stability during stress or upheaval.
