Over the past week or so, I’ve received a dozen DMs from people who are feeling overwhelmed and anxious with the current state of things. I won’t lie, I’ve been feeling many of the same things too.

So I thought, why don’t I attempt to address that with this article.

Inside my head is a beautiful place

With each passing day, the world we live in makes less and less sense. It’s rife with inconsistencies and contradictions. On the one hand, there is chaos and madness. But at the same time, we also see beautiful stories of connection, love, and kindness.

It can be quite disorienting and hard to figure out where to put our intentions and our faith.

Here are a few things that personally help me re-center and achieve a state of balance:

1. Remembering that I choose my reality

At any given moment, two things are simultaneously happening in life:

  • The thing/event/outcome that is taking place
  • What I choose to believe about the thing/event/outcome that is taking place.
