Negativity comes from thinking too much about the past or the future and not paying attention to the present. Things like worry, stress, and fear happen when we focus too much on what might happen in the future. Feelings like guilt, regret, and sadness come from thinking too much about what's already happened in the past.
Many people find it hard to believe that it's possible to be completely free from negativity. Sometimes, it's tough to see that this is what's causing our problems and unhappiness. We often think our problems are because of specific things happening in our lives, which is partly true. But until we learn to live more in the present and stop dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, our problems will keep showing up in different forms.
Imagine if all your problems disappeared today, but you didn't change how you think and live in the present. You'd probably end up facing similar problems again. Usually, the future tends to be a lot like the past. Small changes can happen, but real transformation is rare. It depends on whether you can focus more on the present and let go of the past and future.
What you think about the future is connected to how you're feeling right now. If you're stuck in the past, you'll keep facing the same kind of stuff. The thoughts you have right now shape what will happen in the future, and the future can only be experienced as the present moment.
