Aren’t we constantly worrying about things?
We are anxious about unpredictable things, not necessarily thinking about the future but wanting to control it
When will this pandemic end?
When will I be able to travel again?
When will I be able to meet my dear one’s?
As quoted by Jodi Picoult, “Anxiety is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you very far”
We just need to unplug ourselves from these thoughts for a few minutes.
