“You’ll have bad times, but it’ll always wake you up
to the good stuff you weren’t paying attention to.”
Good Will Hunting
When you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, remember, slow your
mind down and focus on the present. Pay attention in the moment.
It is like being at mile 20 of a 100-mile ultramarathon, if you start
thinking about how you are going to finish or what mile 80 is going
to look like, your mind and thoughts will race ahead and get the best
of you. Instead, focus on what is right in front of you. Put one foot in
front of the other and focus, concentrate on getting to the next mile
marker. Keep going. Break it down into smaller sections. Just get
to that next telephone pole. Smaller, manageable, bite size chunks.
Avoid thinking about all the things that may go wrong. Stay focused
on the present situation. Seize the present moment. Concentrate. Do
the work. Prepare. Do not look back or do not dwell on regret. Avoid
imagined anxiety or troubles that may or may not come about ahead.
Focus and concentrate on the present. The task at hand. Avoid being
distracted by frustration or fear. Focus on now and be where you are
because right now is all we have.
