I called and they said to be in the moment. They said to live in the moment. Maybe I'm being defeatist but that seems hard to do in this moment.
I'm vacillating between emotions right now. I'll be calm, rational & feel accomplished that i'm on Day 5 of a new life. And then I'll reflect & get a surge of sadness, guilt & regret.
So- I'm turning to y'all for advice-
how do y'all live in the moment?
Thanks,

Just a thought, but why not pull on some of your professional experience as a leader. What would you do if someone who worked for you, or was following your leadership, came to you with a similar question? Say someone in a new job or a new situation....what advice would you give them to make it through the first time?
