Prisoners of our own mind ...

Literally as if we can control everything that happens to us.

I am from the Optimist team and I believe a lot that if we think positive, at least as much as possible, things, situations turn out to have a better prognosis, the important thing is that that optimism has its floor in realism

It is better to be optimistic, but based on the tangible and present reality taking into account the causes, effects and consequences of what we do or want to do, for me, I am always realistic, and well planted in the present without losing my focus that even though it rains because of the leaks that I may have on the roof of my house, and my internal storms..."the sun always rises."..

So when I have my emotional downs I rely on music, walks, meditation, I always try to be as close as possible to the realism of the things that happen to me.

I try to control my anxious thoughts towards the future, even when it is complicated many times. And he asked me how I live life, from which way? The important thing is not to let pessimism invade my life and thoughts, that it happens to me means that I am dealing with anxiety, for example, and in this case I have to take care of my mental health.

Reality also causes anxiety, but it will always be better to establish actions based on reality, even if it is difficult, adverse, it is something that at least I can attend better, with my personal growth tools, by my own means.

I don't believe that we should have balance in our lives, in living one day at a time, even though it sounds very nice, I haven't achieved it during the 24 hours that a day has, because a dose of pessimism will always haunt me.

And if I don't make it?, I seek help 🆘 go to therapy, for example, when my pessimistic thinking persists in my anxiety process.

Not that's what I live with today, without abandoning tomorrow

I prefer to be realistic with a positive vision, I think it is the most sensible, without falling into false optimism, if possible I enjoy the glass half full, and not half empty, I always look to fill it, of course! It's not easy, but who said it would be easy.

But living today, could I be living tomorrow regretting not having done what I had to do a couple of days ago, for example, so, she asked me will I be procrastinating?

Tell me how do you live with your mind in the present tense, do you anchor yourself to the past or do you feel anxiety about the uncertain future? we talk to each other in comments.
