I am constantly blown away by the brilliance, resilience, the beauty, courage and vulnerability of us humans. Every day I get to meet this incredible beauty head on, in the most ordinary of circumstances, with the most ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Extraordinary things that they are brilliantly getting on with.<\/p>\n

I am reminded that the present is all the matters, and that mostly my negative stress is the result of focussing on the past, and what has already happened, or the future, and what is yet to happen.<\/p>\n

Ninety nine times out of a hundred I am sorted in the moment.<\/p>\n
