Running Out Of Risk — Pointless Overthinking
Traveling and living like a nomad brings me so much life. I feel energized, inspired, alive. I am entirely engaged in the present moment. Although I’m an ardent advocate for finding simple pleasures in our every day lives, it’s important to recognize when your current routine isn’t working. Do I need to feel the component of risk in my life to be happy?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic and if you’ve ever experienced this before. You can view the full article via the link above or clicking here: https://pointlessoverthinking.com/2020/09/21/running-out-of-risk/

I love travelling for the same reason. I find being present much easier on the road – I think because everything feels new and different. I’m not so sure it’s risk that the human spirit desires so much as change. Although making change often requires taking risks of course. Great point either way and thanks for making me think. 🙏

I never really put two and two together but I think one of the reasons I love traveling so much is because I do find it much easier to be present. This does make me step back a bit though and reflect on why I can’t be as present in my own life and not succumb to hedonic adaptation. Definitely something to mull over as there’s no overnight fix. I saw your post about meditating for 362 days–maybe that would help! Looking forward to reading more of your blogs 🙂 ~Ellen
