My past me, present me, and future me have been battling with one another for years now, and the only one it's hurting is present me..... Fantastic thoughts on anxiety. From someone who suffers with it, you hit the nail on the head.....

Really appreciate you sharing that.

The battle between our past, present and future selves is exhausting, isn't it?

What helped me was realizing that present me is the only one who can actually do something about it. Thanks for being open about your anxiety, we're all in this together.

Hope today treats you well!

Just what I needed. Been anxious all my life about future challenges and uncertainty but I guess I don't have to spoiled anymore present moment for what is simply my imagination game.

Thanks for sharing! It's wild how much peace we find when we stop playing that imagination game with our fears.

The present moment is all we really have, so might as well make it count.

Keep catching yourself when those future worries creep in!

Amore fatigue is the way forward. "I'm doing this,why? Because it's what's next".

Life has challenges we don't anticipate, we action, as they appear, overdrive, through tunnels, not knowing what awaits there. Sun, or shadows of darkness. But we survive, stronger, To face the next. Reflection gives sense of capability, strength to face the next. The value of our strength.

This really struck a chord with me as I’ve spent most of my life thinking just like this. I’ve told myself that I was preparing for every eventuality. Thank you for opening my eyes. 🙏🏻

It is true. Why worry tomorrow is not here. Live in the now and just look ahead with interest, but no more.

"Look ahead with interest" - I love that way of putting it!

It's such a healthier approach than worrying about every possible thing that could go wrong.

Simple but powerful shift in perspective!
