When we worry too much about future

Some people try to plan carefully for the future, to anticipate all possible problems and obstacles, and come up with solutions in advance, just in case. In order to protect themselves. Especially in these turbulent times.

The more you are afraid that the future will not meet your expectations and life will make unwanted adjustments to your beautiful plan, the more you get stuck in the current situation, the greater the feeling of helplessness. And since your focus is on the unpredictable future, the present is slipping away…

At some point you will find out that you don’t notice the good things in your life, that you feel less happy and can’t enjoy the moment. Your family or friends might tell you that you don’t appreciate what you already have.

The less safe we feel, the more we try to control everything around us, including ourselves. The truth is that life is not 100% controllable. Things happen, both good and bad, whether we want them to or not.

Live more here and now, the present is in your power. You cannot know how you will react to future events, but you can choose how you feel now. The future will change a hundred times, there is no point to worry about it right now.

But it makes sense to fully live today, to grasp the present moment and make the most of it. So later you don’t feel like your life is just passing you by…
