Wendy. Periodically.

Every time that I look in the mirror/All these lines on my face getting clearer/The past is gone/It went by like dusk to dawn/Isn't that the way?/Everybody's got the dues in life to pay, yeah.. This Aerosmith song used to scare the shite out of me when I was little. It was eerie. I have come to love this song as an adult. It is wise, true, and actually beautiful. Dream On.

One of the things I try to help my clients with is the idea that all we have is now. We are not promised the future. What if we lived with death by our side each day? How would you live your life differently? What would you let go of? What would you embrace? If you looked back 10 years from your future you, would you worry more? Take less risks? More risks? Love more deeply? Let go of the little things that don’t really matter?

Us therapists are called to be wise in addition to all the other things we need to be! Where are you on accepting your death as a reality? What a question for a Friday?! #Mentalhealth
