I breathe.0

It has been a crazy few weeks for me. Three of the biggest people in my life have all left and moved away. Constants became variables. Routine and the norm became unusual and unpredictable.
For all my life I’ve talked to myself and thought a lot. Over-thought I feel, I often tend to think far too much.
Lately the cacophony of voices in my head and thoughts was all but overwhelmed by the constant changing going on around me, with loved ones leaving and being so incredibly busy with work and my career.
This weekend I started to slow down and attempt decipher all of these thoughts. I thought my head would explode.
But a beautiful quote came back to me this morning. I was once told something during a moment of despair when I was 19/20 living in Italy with $17 in my bank account. A very old American track coach saw me with my head in my hands and told me “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving”. I later found out whilst this kind gentleman had given me motivation to keep going it was a clear plagiarism of the amazing Albert Einstein.
I think we need to remind ourselves sometimes, that life is full of little tests. Tests to see the power of your spirit, your ability, your faith and of course your love. They will often throw you off balance, but as long as you don’t let it completely halt your momentum, you can get back on track by just going through the motions and keep moving forward.
You can’t dwell on the past.
