The mantra ‘the grass is greener where you water it’ has been coming up in my life a lot lately, so let’s chat about it. I’ve been struggling to stay present in my current chapter of life in Paris and caught myself comparing my life to others and falling into the trap of ‘their grass is greener’. Today I want to talk through how this mantra has been helping me come back to the present moment, practice gratitude for this chapter of life, knowing it’s not forever, and 5 ways to help yourself stay present in the chapter of life you’re in.

1. get off social media

2. define your values

3. nothing lasts forever, so enjoy it

4. make a short term bucket list

5. identify grounding practices that work for you
