Worry is a huge deal for many people, but dealing with that monster when it’s a baby makes dealing with it, in fact any problem, so much easier.

With alertness, I’m not talking so much about wide awake caffeine fuelled, owl eyed, “I am not asleep” alertness.
I’m not talking about what many mindfulness teachers encourage you to do - being present and alert to the things of life … I’m talking about something much subtler and yet more rewarding.
