Are you living inside your head?
Living too much in my head wasn't serving me. Back in 2016, I realized there must be a better, more authentic way to understand reality than through the constant chatter of my mind.

Dancing in the rain
Often, we don't have control over the timing, nature and location of the storms that arise within or around us. However, we can choose to put our lives on hold by focusing on the storm, OR press on regardless by consciously and deliberately focusing on the positives instead. Brolly anyone?
