Try asking yourself this one little question. So when things start to get a bit loopy up here, which happens more than you'd ever believe, I've got different ways to get me back on track. And one of them that works really well, is to ask myself not what to do next. Because when you're doing something, you're occupied, you're thinking of just that task and not really worrying about anything else. Or if you're doing something fun, you're having fun. Then it's time to come back to real life. Ask yourself this, and let me know down below how this plays out. Just ask yourself, what should I think of next? And then just sit with that. Try it. Try this out. It's going to blow your mind. Close your eyes. Sit there. What should I think of next?
