Stay present and look for the wisdom that every moment offers!
I remember this moment very well… it was week one of our road trip.. a whirlwind of chaos was finally behind us; I had been consumed with work, packing, studying for the national MFT exam and suddenly, just like that, I was sitting at our picture perfect campsite in northern WA with my pup peacefully at my side. My stress saturated brain kept looking for problems and wondering what I could have done better, how I could possibly be deserving of this idyllic scene… As I observed these automatic thoughts and feelings, I gently redirected myself over and over until I was able to rest and enjoy the moment. It’s not always gonna stick the first time! Practice willingness to redirect yourself in the moment and you will slowly build more positive neural pathways!!! It’s science! 🧠 🧬
