AMY PURDY
About this episode

Welcome to Thursday's bonus episode of Bouncing Forward. In this episode, I share my favorite key takeaway from Monday's episode. So if you're short on time, but are committed to bouncing forward, this episode is for you!

Anxiety arises when we are living in the future, grief arises when we are living in the past, but our lives are lived in the present. When we remain in the present, neither can exist, and that's why it's imperative to our bouncing forward journey to remain in the present. In this episode of Bouncing Forward, I explain what it means to live more presently and give you 5 practical steps for you to incorporate presence into your daily life. No matter what you are going through – a lot or nothing at all – we can all benefit from living in the HERE and NOW.
