We hang onto them as if they
were among our most prized possessions. We keep a firm grip on them so we can
draw upon them throughout our waking—and especially our nighttime—hours. They
are our worries, fears and regrets.
When we give them our
attention and energy, our fears and worries become bigger, darker and more foreboding
and our regrets feel more disappointing, especially in those middle-of-the-night
hours when all seems darker, bigger and scarier.
Turn those worries, fears and
regrets around and scoot them out the door. Let them float away with the wind.
Fill those empty spaces instead with gratitude. Focus on the blessings of this
moment, and your worries and fears won’t find room to come back.
Today, this week: Live in this moment. Focus on Now.
