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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine this line represents your ages through life, from birth to death.\u00a0I wish you are lucky enough to live 100 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where are you now? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mark this line!\u00a0Are you 23, 35, or 50 years old?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For example I`m 35 years old<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now draw the line from your birth to the place where you are now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What does this line represent in your life? What is it about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is your past. Your life until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it exist at this moment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. It is already gone. Whatever we experienced on the road on\nthis line no longer exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It exists only in one place … IN YOUR HEAD<\/strong>\u2026 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore everything that you have experienced until this moment, can\u2019t be changed. It is in the past, it doesn\u2019t exist\u2026 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think a little about this now! Be honest with yourself, and answer these questions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you too preoccupied with your past? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Which events do\nnot give you peace? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you attach too\nmuch importance to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it`s time to\nre-question this importance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to see the\nbigger picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you tell your best friend if the past was experienced by him or her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s mark the section on the line that represents your life from the place you are now until the end of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 What is this section?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly … That part represents what is ahead of you.\u00a0It represents your future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s think about it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know what\nwill happen in your life in this part? What events will happen to you? Of course, you only want beautiful\nevents. But who knows. You can`t foresee the future, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future, just like the past, does not exist in the place where you are now.\u00a0It exists only IN YOUR HEAD, in your thoughts, in your plans …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think a little about the future now! Be honest with yourself, and answer these questions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you too preoccupied with your future? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Which events do\nnot give you peace? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you attach too\nmuch importance to them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it`s time to\nre-question this importance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to see the\nbigger picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you\ntell your best friend if he or she is too worried about something in the\nfuture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the most important thing that this\nexercise wants to show you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past and the future do not exist, there is only the present, but you are not aware of it because you are too occupied with what happened to you yesterday, a month, or a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0If you are not in the past then you are in the future imagining various scenarios and directing movies that may happen or may not happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live here and now!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And in all this, you forget to enjoy HERE and NOW<\/strong>, in this moment which is ONLY REAL, not in your head, a moment that you can smell, taste, look, touch, feel … Moment<\/g> which with several of your steps forward will be passed and remembered or forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this video, and keep calm. You have nothing to worry about\u2026your past is in the past\u2026your future is in the future\u2026You are here and now, in the only real place where you can enjoy your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
