  • looking to now and tomorrow | anxiety log | uneven 52

    Sitting on the back porch with Murphy as we contemplate the now and the not yet now. Mindfulness (focusing on the present) is a very useful tool for managing anxiety and depression. That being said, having something to look forward has its own rewards too.
