In today’s Monday Moment, Tania does something a little different.
She shares a children’s story that made this adult pause and reflect.
When Things Aren’t Going Right, Go Left by Marc Colagiovanni, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds, tells a simple, playful story about setting down worries, doubts, fears, and frustrations — and choosing a different direction when the inner voice insists the “responsible” thing to do is brace, worry, or stay alert.
As Tania reads this story, she reflects on how often the inner critic convinces us that focusing on what could go wrong is the safest move. And yet, this story offers a gentler invitation: sometimes the bravest thing we can do is go left instead.
If your inner voice has been loud lately — pulling you toward fear, doubt, or worry — consider this a quiet nudge to try a different direction. Even if only for today.
