Do you enjoy this present moment>Here and Now? Whether your answer is yes or no keep reading to better understand how to stop being anxious in life.
Imagine this line represents your ages through life, from birth to death. I wish you are lucky enough to live 100 years.
Where are you now?
Mark this line! Are you 23, 35, or 50 years old?
For example I`m 35 years old
Now draw the line from your birth to the place where you are now.
What does this line represent in your life? What is it about?
This is your past. Your life until now.
Does it exist at this moment?
No. It is already gone. Whatever we experienced on the road on this line no longer exists.
It exists only in one place … IN YOUR HEAD… Bad or Good things that happened in your past exist only in your head as a memory. If you can easily recall them, it means that you have given them a big meaning.
Therefore everything that you have experienced until this moment, can’t be changed. It is in the past, it doesn’t exist… you can not get it back.
Most importantly is to understand that it exists only in your head as memory and there is only the meaning you have given to this memory.
Think a little about this now! Be honest with yourself, and answer these questions!
Are you too preoccupied with your past?
Which events do not give you peace?

What would you tell your best friend if the past was experienced by him or her?
Let’s mark the section on the line that represents your life from the place you are now until the end of your life.
What is this section?
Certainly … That part represents what is ahead of you. It represents your future.
Let’s think about it now.
Do you know what will happen in your life in this part? What events will happen to you? Of course, you only want beautiful events. But who knows. You can`t foresee the future, right?
And so far, you were often worried about what would happen, but mostly it did not happen … or it happened but not the way you expected.
The future, just like the past, does not exist in the place where you are now. It exists only IN YOUR HEAD, in your thoughts, in your plans …
Think a little about the future now! Be honest with yourself, and answer these questions!
