Happy Monday! The other day I was journaling and a negative “story” wouldn’t stop running through my mind. It started a few days ago but its frequency started to increase, so I finally addressed it.

Happy Monday! One of my mentors, Paul Reddick, shared an analogy that really resonated with me. I was dealing with some hard “stuff” and Paul likened the process to the three steps people go through when an earthquake strikes.
