Always fretting about the past or focusing on the future leads to anxiety and a sense of unhappiness. But the Cascadeworst thing about this habit is that you never live your life fully – right now. You actually miss real life as it’s happening in all it’s daily moments.

According to an article in Psychology Today, if you accept that this is your life -  now – in all it’s positive and negative aspects, and just allow yourself to experience it, your life will open up in interesting ways you hadn’t expected.

Learn to let go of the exhausting search for something better and savor what is – right now. You should still have goals; just hold them lightly so that they don’t take over your present life. If you are working on a project that is a step to future goals then make sure you enjoy the process and are totally aware of the moment.
