The message for this piece is to be present. Be here, in the now… not the past, not the future, right now! As an overthinker, this is a message I have to remind myself of frequently. I chose this message for this particular area in Brisbane because I often go for an early morning walk along the water in Sandgate and Shorncliffe. This is where I check in with what’s happening inside my head and use that time to ground myself. My walks are without headphones, and the only things I’m listening to and paying attention to are my thoughts and the things around me. It’s a place where I’ve found connection with nature, made friends with locals, and seen a lot of cool sea life. It’s the best way to kick off my day and my headspace is aways better for it. I’m looking forward to being able to give back to an area that has given me so much.
