If you have read or participated in the sober tips over the past few days, you should be feeling very uplifted as you have been gifted a tremendous amount of new time that you never had before.
Today, let’s add to that time.
The future.
So many of us spend our lives worrying about the future.
We wonder if we will get that new job or promotion.
We wonder if we will find that new partner. We wonder if our current partner will stay. We wonder if we will be able to afford that trip we have wanted to take, or the ‘things’ we want to get. The list is very long.
If we can be honest, for many of us, we don’t wonder, we ‘worry’
Whatever it is, wonder or worry, we are wasting precious time and energy. Thousands of hours of wonder and worry.
Worrying about the future is a complete thief of our time and robs us of precious hours that can be spent doing what is right in front of us. It is often called fear.
There are many ways to resolve this. There are many books and spiritual practices that can help us to live in the present. A daily meditation is one such gift that many of us use as a tool to not get too far ahead of ourselves.
What you need to know is the vast majority of what we fear, never materializes.
There is an acronym that helps remind us of this. False Evidence Appearing Real. It is often explained in many spiritual texts that the future doesn’t exist. There is just now… and then the next now.
In 12-step programs, fear is dealt with in the 4th and 5th step.
Choose to add more time today by taking away your endless worry about the future.
If you have experience in meditation or spiritual work, or texts that have helped with worry and fear, share with the community below what you do that has helped free you from worry.
If find yourself in fear, share with the community below and connect with others who may be experiencing the same thing.
The only way we get better is to ask for help.
The only way to stay sober is to give it.
With Love, Loosid
