Aging with Anxiety: Do You Forget What Today Offers?

7/12/2019

It seems that seeking help for anxiety leads me to a lot of talk on "mantras" and how powerful it is to speak and repeat words to yourself. I don't know how much they help you, but I was reading this mantra by John Maxwell, and I love the strong determination to not long for the past, but to enjoy the current stage in life:

Today, I will live today.
I will face today’s challenges with today’s strength.

I will dance today’s waltz with today’s music.
I will celebrate today’s opportunities with today’s hope.
Today.
 
I can tell myself, “I miss the good old days.” (Maybe we fall into this thought pattern because we aren’t open to what today is offering us?)
 
Or,
 
Like Maxwell, I can remind myself that TODAY also has strength, music, opportunities, and most importantly, hope.
 
Oh, and we can’t forget there’s dancing!
