It’s so easy to confine, resign or label yourself as made up of only certain elements. We give so much weight to thought and action. Thought is often noisy, if not troubled.

Simplifying Emotions – the dog in the room
More often than not emotions (aka ‘feelings’) can seem complicated; uncomfortable, even painful. Many of us avoid emotions like a burnt espresso.
