The mistake of ha ving anxiety and doubt about the future
We sometimes worry about the future or regret the past.
But is that really necessary?
Anxiety about the future takes away precious time from the present.
If you keep thinking, "What if it doesn't work out tomorrow?", you won't be able to concentrate on what you need to do today, and your st rength to move forward will weaken.
But the future is not yet decided.
Cherishing the present rather than worrying and doing what you can one by one is the shortcut to creating a bright future.
Focus on the present with mindfulness
"Mindfulness" can help you let go of anxiety about the future.
Mindfulness is about focusing your attention on "this moment".
For example, when you're eating, you can only think about "enjoying the taste" or when you're walking outside, you can feel the "smell of the wind and flowers".
If you focus on what is in front of you, instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past, your mind will naturally calm down.
A calm mind reduces anxiety and impatience, and gives you a more positive attitude.
Apologies and regrets are a step forward
Everyone has past mistakes and regrets.
However, regretting things forever cannot change the past.
The important thing is to use those experiences to your advantage next time.
Apologize for what you should apologize for, and reflect on what you should reflect on.
Once you ha ve done that, it is important to learn not to repeat the same mistakes and move forward.
The first step to improving your future is to think about what you can do from now on, without getting too caught up in past events.
Prospect theory and anxiety about the future
Prospect theory states that people ha ve a strong fear of "losing".
For example, losing 100 yen feels like a bigger shock than gaining 100 yen.
Anxiety about the future can also be born from this "fear of loss".
However, if you don't act because you are afraid of failure, you will miss a great opportunity.
To reduce anxiety about the future, it is important to think positively and think, "Even if I fail, there is always another chance."
The importance of believing in a positive future
The future has not happened yet, so what will happen depends on your way of thinking.
To improve the future, it is important to believe that "it will be okay."
By believing in yourself and continuing to do what you can now, one thing at a time, the future will become brighter little by little.
It is natural to feel anxious, but the key to attracting a good future is to act without giving in to those feelings.
Summary
By letting go of anxiety and doubts about the future, you can cherish the present and face the future with a positive attitude.
By practicing mindfulness, accepting past regrets as lessons, and overcoming the anxiety of prospect theory, you can create a bright future by believing that "it will be okay."
Everyone has anxiety, but if you believe in yourself and take one step at a time, the future will surely be wonderful.
