Mental Health Writer & Editor
Do what is in front of you. Not what’s years or days or hours or even seconds away. Just what’s right here. Right now. I personally spend a lot of time not in the here and now. My brain likes to go roaming into the future. To plan where my 3-year-old will go to preschool. To plan a (kids free) vacation for my husband and I…in 2023. Sometimes I’m so busy with these types of plans that I forget to be where I am. So today I’m reminding myself to look up and look around and engage with that.
