Fear the invisible future, worry about what has yet to come...How to stop this distraction? "

Fear the invisible future, worry about what has yet to come...How to stop this distraction? "

Many of us live like "drivers looking at the rear window" or "looking at the fog ahead" to forget to look at the road where the wheels are really rotating. In the end, we collide with self-inflicted suffering in our heads, even though those terrible things may never even happen.

If your heart is shaking because of anxiety, stop taking a deep breath and listen to this sentence:

"The past is' shadow, 'the future is' dream, 'the present is' real '...Be with today as best you can, and your heart will stop being distracted. "

Why should we give up "prophesying suffering"?

Don't fight imaginary "ghosts." 👻

Worrying about the future is like paying interest on a debt you haven't borrowed. You're wasting your energy today on a "maybe" solution to the next day. The result is that you're tired for free and don't really have the energy to deal with the work in front of you.

Shadows can't hurt us...If we don't look, 🌑

The false past is "lesson," not "prison." Don't let yesterday's shadow shade today's sunshine. Mistakes are the opportunity to make you better, not the reason you have to stop walking.

It is currently the best "mind nurturing water." 💧

If you can still see a person who loves smiling today, there is still delicious rice to eat, there is still hard work to proofread...That's the most tangible truth. Doing this second well is putting the most stable first brick for the future you're afraid of.

Worry doesn't help "trouble" any less, but it helps your "peace" disappear.

Stop being a skeptical prophet, and become a steadfast doer.

Quit: Guess the End of an Unwritten Fiction

Start: Write the line in front of it as beautifully as possible.

Remember: If you did your best today...The future will take care of itself.

"The clock does not go back to the past, nor does it jump to the future...It always walks one second at a time called 'now.' "

Today...Leave your anxiety on the side of the road and smile at your work or hobbies and you will find that "happiness" is not far away, just in this breath!

# Stay with the present # Stop worrying # Good thinking # Develop yourself # Nurturing the heart

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว เมื่อเราพบว่าตัวเองจมอยู่กับความกังวลเรื่องอนาคตที่ยังมาไม่ถึง จุดเปลี่ยนอย่างสำคัญคือตอนที่เริ่มฝึกสติและอยู่กับปัจจุบันจริง ๆ เทคนิคง่าย ๆ ที่ช่วยได้มากคือ การฝึกหายใจลึก ๆ ช้า ๆ เพียงนาทีสองนาทีตอนเช้าและก่อนนอน เพื่อปลอบใจและรีเซ็ตความคิดที่ฟุ้งซ่าน เราพบว่าการยอมรับว่าความกังวลนั้นเป็นเพียงความคิดไม่ใช่ความจริง ลดความตึงเครียดในใจได้เยอะมาก นอกจากนี้ การแบ่งเวลาให้กับสิ่งที่เรารัก เช่น การทำงานอดิเรกที่ทำให้เพลิดเพลิน หรือการใช้เวลากับคนที่รักจริง ๆ จะช่วยให้สมองไม่ได้วนเวียนอยู่แต่กับความกลัวอนาคตที่ยังไม่มีจริง การตั้งเป้าหมายเล็ก ๆ ในแต่ละวันและลงมือทำจริงจังก็ทำให้รู้สึกว่ามีพลังในการควบคุมชีวิตมากขึ้นและลดความวิตกกังวล อีกสิ่งหนึ่งที่ได้เรียนรู้คือ ความผิดพลาดในอดีตไม่ใช่คุกที่ขังเราไว้ แต่อย่างที่บทความกล่าว อดีตนั้นเป็นเพียงเงาที่ปล่อยให้ผ่านไป แล้วเอาแสงแดดในปัจจุบันมาเติมเต็มชีวิตให้สดใส แค่รู้จักให้อภัยตัวเองและหัดมองโลกในแง่ดีมากขึ้น ก็ทำให้จิตใจแข็งแรงและพร้อมเผชิญหน้ากับอนาคตโดยไม่ต้องกลัวอีกต่อไป สุดท้ายนี้ สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการจำไว้เสมอว่า "นาฬิกาไม่ได้เดินย้อนกลับไปหาอดีต และไม่กระโดดข้ามไปหาอนาคต แต่มันเดินทีละวินาทีที่เรียกว่า 'ตอนนี้'" อยู่กับปัจจุบันให้ดีที่สุด นี่แหละคือกุญแจสู่ความสุขที่แท้จริง
