Staying In the Present
Jul. 6th, 2008 08:02 pmI think it's important that I appreciate each day as it happens. I spend so much time ruminating on the past and trying to anticipate the future, it ruins things for me. It doesn't make me happier, because even when I remember something happy, I know it's not happening now. Getting excited about the future is fun, but when things don't turn out as planned it can be devastating. I used to be the type easily amused, so it shouldn't be this difficult to focus on the present and enjoying the present. I worry so much about doing the right thing and all the things that can go wrong with the decisions I'm making. I have to go back to trusting myself like I used to and just impact the things in life that I can.
