I decided a few things. Settled a few things about myself I’d been struggling with. Mainly little things that have caused far too much anxiety.
So… I let go.
I let go of all the hopes and dreams and opened a mental bank account for the energy I spent on them. I’ll use that energy in realizing the joy of my actual accomplishments.
Tomorrow doesn’t owe me anything. So why do I feel compelled to pay so much for it? I owe this moment knowing it will effect whatever tomorrow might bring.
Nothing more.

Beautifully put! ❤

It is so easy to get snagged by dreams that either cannot be or of things that cannot be controlled and spend time and mental energy on them. Oh, the solution is right there in The Serenity Prayer, the letting go of those things to make room for what can be and beautiful surprises.

Hey friend. I’m so excited to see your comment even if it is to say you’re mental energy is zapped. I get it. Especially with the crap 2020 has been throwing at all of us. 💕 big hug.

2020 is like is like a person tripping and falling into hell and frantically grabbing at everything and anything just trying to stop but all it’s really doing is taking everything with it.

Yea 😦 I just lost a great great Aunt to Covid. She was 103. She was born during WW1 and lived through the Great Depression, WW2, Vietnam War, The Dust Bowl, the atomic bomb. She remembers segregation and when women couldn’t vote. And then 2020 took her 😦

I hate anxiety, it feels like this all the time. Why should I worry about tomorrow! It always puts my mind on a back burner, instead of concentrating on NOW. I worry about tomorrow.

Unchecked and undiagnosed anxiety led me into the darkest depression of my life. It’s so hard to refocus our thoughts but it’s doable. Lots of hard work. I love how you states this “it puts my mind on the back burner” ❤️❤️

Exactly the right way to think! Just be, don’t strive, otherwise the goals or just keep getting pushed back. There is no goal!

Well it’s good to see where your going but unless you do the work to walk and move then it’s just a place in the distance 🙂
