It’s always going to be about awareness and choices, life is as simple or as difficult as that. You live where you put your attention, and what you appreciate, appreciates. Where your mind goes your energy follows. If your happy just stay their . If you are having some stress or difficulty, become aware of where your mind is. The easiest way to deal with anything is to be present. Thats not to say ignore whats going on but just be aware of what you are choosing to put your attention on. Is it serving you, your family and your community or is it creating stress for you. If you are reading this you most likely have some kind of spiritual practice do yoga or meditate. Or you have some kind of way of grounding your self. Wether it is walking in the woods or getting one pointed with something you like to do such as being creative.
It’s always going to be about your choices and awareness, always!
