Have you ever stopped long enough to realize that a lot of our own anxiety is caused by trying to mentally and emotionally get into our future? To step into things that are not here yet or have already passed?
Take the time to enjoy life today, right now. Lighten up and enjoy your life! Try not to worry about the past or your future. Yes, we need to maintain our responsibilities, however, that doesn't mean we need to be so focused on what is to come or what has past that we forget to enjoy ourselves and those around us.
Life is stressful enough. We don't need to overload ourselves with more stress and concerns of things we cannot control. I speak from experience as I am quick as anyone else to reflect on the past. I am no stranger to wishing and dreaming about the future to a point where today has passed me by.
Currently I am waiting for something/someone to come into my life. I am curious to see where this particular life event may occur, how it will occur, IF it will occur at all. Where I stay plenty busy with life and everything I am trying to accomplish and do, I continue to find myself creating concern and lost in thought about my future.
I wish I had a magical formula to share about how to be more in the moment. Hopefully just knowing you are not alone can offer some sort of reassurance to you. Until that day comes to pass, whether it is a graduation, a concert, a ceremony, try to remember to find yourself living in today, not just tomorrow.
