As kids, we created art without even thinking about it. We didn’t let fear hold us back and we didn’t even go there in our brain. We put marks on paper, played imaginatively, colored in color books, and even sometimes on the wall. Today we are talking about why that changed for us and what we can do about it now.

Do you ever feel like you're going through life either focused on the regrets and sadness of the past or the worries of the future?

In this episode, we'll talk about how to be more in the moment and help our brain learn this new skill!
