I’ve talked about this a lot recently. We can dwell on the past or worry about the future, or we can work to train our focus on the here and now.
Rumination and brooding about the past get us nowhere – we can’t change it.
Fretting or having anticipatory anxiety about the future does us no good – we suffer extra.
Setting your mind on the present takes practice, and we all have to start somewhere.
Sometimes, it can be helpful to be quiet, both verbally and mentally. “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
