I am a person who believes and learns to be in the present moment and not worry too much about the future in a responsible way.

Today’s writing prompt question ( see below) scares me.

What do you need to do by the end of the year to make this year meaningful?

That is my Emotional Brain.

I am deciding to go thru this fear by creatively writing the conversation between my Emotional Brain (EB) and Thinking Brain (TB)

TB: Why are you scared?

EB: Well, the word “scares” came up at the spur of the moment. The truth is I am so used to being in the present moment, learning about it, and finding value in living in the present moment that I don’t like hearing this type of question about the future.

TB: Hmm, OK. After writing and conversing with me and taking a deep breath, how do you feel?

EB: I feel great.
