How to break the cycle

[kevdog716]

I go through periods when I am in paralyzing fear of the future. How can I stop?

We have no control over people, places, or things....only how we choose to accept what is. We can't change the past, only accept it, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, it's not here yet, only what is happening in our life right now. We live in the moment, make general plans, and allow for the inevitable change of plans that often just naturally happens...go with the flow, life can be much more enjoyable then. Deal with things as they come...good and bad....and know that is the norm...things, people, and places come and go.

this time last Saturday just about i was having a good day in my friends garden out of the blue BOOM my head just went i couldn`t control my feelings or my emotions i spent the whole week on edge i kept telling myself it will pass but that whole week my head was through the roof i couldn`t see myself carrying on but here i am a week later hopefully turning a corner and you will also embrace your future and don`t be fearful.

I agree with fauxartist, I learnt to live in the moment over 20 years ago, it is so freeing, I do not worry about anything, yesterdays gone, I am here now, tomorrow has not got here yet. Remember Roosevelt said "There is nothing to fear but fear itself". In the past when I had fear, I faced it and went thru it, it sure looked small after I got thru it and I was able to let go of it. Fear is not an object, it is a feeling we conjure up, so as we make it, we can break it. Get on with living today, keep busy both hands and mind, do fun things, go for a long walk in the sun get some Vit D, it is good for us. Do some meditation to calm your mind.
