Living life as it comes
There is a phenomenon amongst people who have their lives turned upside down, where they find themselves stuck in the past, even after they’ve conquered it.

Recently, I wrote a post about the importance of getting in touch with your feelings. You can find that post by clicking here. I hope I’ve been able to convince you to take a look at your feelings from an honest perspective. If so, you’re in the right place, because today I’m going to address the question of, “How do I start?”
