Leave Worries Behind

Your problems;
Can you solve them now?
If not, leave it behind

The future, can you know it?
If not, leave it behind

The present? Can you ignore it?

Embrace it tightly, let go lightly,
It is the only time you ever have

cant solve my problems now, but sure could not leave them behind because they are there all the time. i know that my future holds the same problems for me as today and yesterday. i try to hold onto the good but the anxiety creeps in and then the depression. i cherise every moment when i can say to my self, gee i feel good right now!!! lets see what tomorrow brings. to let it go lightly, show me how and i would sure love to give it a try. thanks for your post!

If I could leave my problems behind me my depression wouldn't be as bad as it is.

to verysad2007; I know that in the depths of our depression, it seems impossible to let go (leave it behind.) In that state, it is "very difficult" to let go. The gist of this post is that the only actual time that we ever have is the present. In that present we have a semblance of control, which is based on the choices we make. Thinking of the past is often a waste of time and resources. Thinking of the future excessively puts us in the same situation. We cannot change the past, and the best we can do is try and influence our future. Even that is not certain. We have the most control in the present. As for your question on psychotherapy/depression, the best I can do is suggest doing an internet search. Should get a ton of hits. Thanks.

Hi Nad
If I embrace it any more tightly I may end up chocking my 2 darlings LOL. I have to keep in mind the let go lightly.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
