Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. NIV Matthew 6.34
I think this should become my new mantra.
A statement that I repeat to myself over and over until my heart and head finally learn to understand and accept it.
Why do I allow myself to worry so much?
To worry about everything and for everyone.
I need to concentrate on the now.
This moment
Right now
The present
My mind is always worrying days, weeks in advance.
Tripping over negative thoughts.
Falling over my anxiety
I’m forgetting about this moment, about living this time.
Living for the moment, have I ever allowed myself the gift of this.
Have I ever been allowed this?
Always the organiser, always the planner.
Always the grown up, always the responsible one.
I want to view the world with a child like innocence.
To go with the flow
To leave tomorrow to itself
To leave next week, next month to its own devices.
To trust
To stand in faith.
This should be my mantra too! The last line is the most powerful and so it should be. When I ever have the audacity to say why me? why us? I try to answer why not you? I do try to remember we are only given what we can cope with although it does make me angry and upset at times. xx
