Generally, it is the first step of any journey that is the hardest to take. How many times have you looked at a blank page, snoozed your alarm clock, or postponed that trip you’ve been dreaming of simply because the prospect of what’s next was frightening?
Healing our lives, minds, and even souls is one of the greatest journeys. The first step here is easier than it sounds: Just sit down and create a space within yourself.
