All causes of over thinking!
We all do it, and its always about the future.
What if this...
what if that....
Constantly thinking about whats going to happen in the future causes fear,
panic and anxiety. It prevents us from doing things we need to do or should do.
it keeps us from enjoying life to its fullest and we are losing out on the present moment by
worrying about whats going to happen tomorow or in 5 years from now .
Some of the most common fears that people generally have are :
fear of flying,
fear of public speakingfear of hights
fear of the dark
fear of intimacy
fear of rejection
All fears that something is going to happen in the future. Life advice and motivation, says:
The only Life that exists is right now, Not yesterday , not 10 years ago,Not 2 minutes from now, and not tomorow.
Only right now exists, and as we worry about something that could possibly happen in the next 4 minutes , we allow fear
to controll us from enjoying the present moment of life that we are blessed with.
This week on Life advice and Motivation , we learn: The past and the future are illusions. The past does not exist anymore, and the future does not exist yet.
You might say, "its better to be safe than sorry", but most of the time there isnt as big of a possibility as we actually imagine.
For example someone with a fear of hights might imagine getting into a plane crash,
but they forget that thousands of people travel every day peacefully and easily.
Somebody who is afraid of rejection wont even try something because they create an image of failing or getting rejected in their mind.
Here is a deep video on fear by inspirational spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti:
Whatever our fears are, They are caused by unconciousness of the present moment and a useless and unrealistic vision of the future. By letting these feelings take over us, we lose motivation, and control of ourselves and our lives. chances and opportunities that we should face fearlessly we lose by letting fear of the future come between enjoying the present moment we have in life.
There are two ways to look at time:
Psychological time - things that we create in our minds that we think will happen in time such as falling , crashing, getting into an accident, or any common fear we have.
Practical time - Having an appointment on Friday, or an exam next month.
The only time that we should really live by is practical time, otherwise the psychological time thats created in our minds about the future just get in the way of enjoying the present moment which is life itself.
This week on life advice and motivation we ask you to try:
- something that you never do
- something that you are scared to do
- encourage somebody who is afraid not to be afraid
