Van Wilder once said “Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere”. Actually worry does take you somewhere. It takes your imagination down the road that creates misery regarding something that has not happened yet and very possibly may never happen.
Bryon Katie, a well- known author of 8 books, said “If you want a little terror, get a future.” In other words if you don’t want to worry, come back into today by practicing mindfulness of the present. It need not be anything time consuming or complicated. It could be as simple as petting your cat or texting a friend.
