Modern life can be stressful. Our lives are busy, we feel pulled in many directions at once. The media loves to tell us about all the things that are going wrong in the world- the economy is in upheaval, terrorism is a threat and schools are dangerous for our children. People wonder what to do about these and other issues in their life.  At times, they become overwhelmed by fear and worry. They get trapped in negative thought patterns. Too much thinking can lead to anxiety, fear, worry and dissatisfaction, sometimes, making them feel like a hamster stuck on an exercise wheel. Thinking, thinking, thinking-the mind is trying to figure everything out. Getting off that wheel can be challenging at times.
