It's wonderful to find such an amazing array of posts that came through related to mental health this week. I found them very uplifting and I hope you will too!
Get ready for this one from @ravenking where he addresses how often we shut down as a means of coping and he proposes a different way that could serve us better. He writes:
We are here to learn to process more and more of reality, we are here to expand deeper into our senses instead of into our mental definitions and conclusions. We are here to embrace the unknown anew with every step. We are here to expand into infinity, not here to etch its boundaries.
