How To Move Through Hard Things

Dear Seekers,

To answer the question: “What's next for me?” we first need to answer the question: “What is happening for me right now?”. Getting lost in the daily hustle and being immersed in a culture that encourages us to tune out instead of in makes answering this question a lot easier said than done. But every day we are given a choice: to stay asleep or to wake ourselves up.

As we attempt to grapple with how to live a full life in a moment that is still weighed down by seemingly unending uncertainty and grief, many of us are experiencing an increase in feelings of anxiety, depression, and fear. We feel less sure of ourselves and our decisions, fall deep into the crevices of our couches, over-socialize, work too much, say we want to do it differently, but continue to find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns.
