World Beyond Words

I know it gets tiring to hear that getting busy is the solution to issues like overthinking or spending time on harmful people and activities, but it truly is the case. When you're busy, you become grounded in the present moment. That means your mind won’t have the bandwidth to live in the future, creating false scenarios that fuel anxiety and catastrophizing, or to linger in the past, reminiscing on things you wish you could have changed, seeing them through rose, colored glasses shaped by nostalgia, or regretting what could’ve been.

Reframe it. Don’t look at the road ahead as a challenge. Don’t cloud what’s to come prematurely. If you tell yourself that you are capable of doing something and that it comes easily and naturally to you, then that is exactly what will happen. Don’t limit yourself before you’ve had the chance to try it out first.
