Before my feet had touched the sand ⁣

my mind had already let me know ⁣

that it was too cold to walk ⁣

on the beach that day. ⁣

⁣

Winter was coming, ⁣

but surely not yet. ⁣

I was determined to hold on ⁣

to those summer feels, ⁣

however, as my feet touched ⁣

the sand I realised that yes, ⁣

a cold shift had happened ⁣

and that those long hot summer days ⁣

had all but gone⁣

⁣

I proceeded to walk down ⁣

to the waters edge and with ⁣

every step my feet started ache ⁣

a bit more, letting me know that ⁣

perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea. ⁣

The aches then turned into the ⁣

negative self talk. ⁣

⁣

However, it wasn’t to last ⁣

and as I got closer to the waters edge ⁣

to my amazement the sand became ⁣

warmer and with that aches and ⁣

negative self talk disappeared as well ⁣

⁣

Moments later, ⁣

I was standing in the ocean ⁣

marvelling at how the water was ⁣

actually warmer than the air temperature ⁣

and that in fact, it had been a good ⁣

choice to walk on the sand that day, ⁣

and to navigate through the negative self talk ⁣

to a positive creative mindset
