Focus your attention in the present.
When you worry you are lost between your ears. You are focused on some feared outcome in the future. Though these thoughts and feelings may consume you, whatever you are imagining is less real than what is around you. Take a deep breath. Turn your attention to your surroundings. Notice anything in your environment that you can appreciate – the beauty of nature, someone you love, some music you really enjoy. Whatever your worry, it’s a hypothetical situation off somewhere in the future. The moment you are living in is real. It is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. Appreciate it fully. It’s really all you have.
Focusing in the present helps to put what you are worrying about into a larger perspective. You can see that while your concern is a part of your life, it is only one part of a much larger whole. When you focus on what works in your life, you diminish the power of your worry. When you re-channel your worry energy in more positive directions, you’ll be sure to make your good life better.
