We spend so much time worrying about the future. What if this happens, what if that happens, and then this could happen and then that could happen and it'll all be terrible. This is called catastrophic thinking. It's not helpful. If you are doing everything you can to make your life better, then there is no point in worrying about the possibilities that it will get worse. That doesn't help. That creates stress and anxiety and it suppresses your immune system and it increases your chances of illnesses, injuries and accidents, and unhappiness as well as depression. If there are things that are out of your control, you need to accept that and then be in the moment, be here now, embrace today and enjoy today and enjoy the people in your life and do things that are satisfying for you. And then, when the future shows up, if it is unpleasant, you will deal with it. OK so that's the deal. Stop freaking out over the future. Be here now. Smell the coffee. Love everything as much as you can. Today is all you really have that you can count on.
