Anxiety

As someone said, anxiety about something tomorrow won’t prevent the pain of tomorrow.  Anxiety cannot change the future.  But anxiety can take away our happiness for today.  Anxiety has power in the present moment, but not in future moments.  I try to keep this in mind when I find myself worrying about the future, as if my worry could change the future.  I might switch the energy of anxiety to doing something positive today, that might effect a better tomorrow, and make today a better day.  Action in the now, the present, has power.  Anxiety is the now, the present moment, has power only to mess up my happiness today.
