Learning to be more present is a way of grounding yourself, which leads to better mental health. Why? Because to be more present in life means that you’re able to embrace the power of the present moment, rather than letting yourself be distracted by worries about the future or ruminating over the past. What does it mean to be fully present? In this latest video, linked with the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast, I’m talking about how to be more present, why focusing on the present matters, and how to enjoy the now and create a better future. If you’re looking for simple ways to be more present in life, then let’s talk! 🙂  Let’s Talk About Mental Health. Making mental health simple.
