I think big picture in the way that I can’t wait to reach that big picture. I get overly excited about the future, about the things to come, so much so that I don’t really live in the present.
I think big picture, but I don’t think of all the little pieces I need to put together to get there.
That part of the process honestly stresses me out. When I have this big idea, dream, or notion of the future – I just want to do it and I want to do it now. I’ll think about things like where I want to live ideally, my dream job, getting another dog, traveling again, going to concerts again. And I get uneasy knowing that none of those things are immediate and a lot of those things require work.
It might be laziness or just an overactive imagination. But I just want to get to the big picture already. I want to experience the “things will get better” kind of life everyone is always talking about.
Maybe I’m already living it and I just can’t see it, mindfulness and presence is just something I’ve never been good at. I try to appreciate what I have in the moment, but the ins and outs of adult stress is just a lot sometimes.

It has been challenging, that’s for sure! Maybe we all need to settle right now for little pictures, and try not to bore ourselves to tears!

A walk can lead to places far removed from our worries, our anxiety. Distance trekking is tough now, but can a day-hike routine bring relief? For me, walking (especially distance treks in different times) is a magic potion.

That’s nice! Too much time alone with my thoughts just creates more thoughts for me

I wrote recently about living inside my head! Truly a blessing and a curse depending on the day š although a while ago, I worked on not needing larger goals, so I do feel a bit more comfortable in the present…not completely, but a bit!

When I get like this, I try to set milestones so I have smaller things to get excited about on the way to the end goal.
