[Elecraft] Being ESD Safe

Hello all,

I just ordered a KX-1 lastnight and I have bought a
weller wes51 solder station and cutters which are ESD
safe.

My question is, how do I make myself ESD safe?

In the KX-1 manual it says, 

"Wear a conductive wrist strap with a series 1 megohm
resistor."

I have a wrist strap, I can get a 1 megohm resistor,
but what do I connect it to? The PCB board? A wire
going out my window to the ground?

I really don't want to shock any components, so I want
to be very careful about ESD and take the best course
to prevent it.

Thanks all,
-Chris
