Focus on one day at a time.
You can plan for the future, but you can't live there. The only moment that exists is the moment your in.
Live my life while I can. You never know when an disease or accident may limit your ability to live a full life.

I am still struggling to tone down my anxiety and be a positive person. But, reminding myself of the above facts helps.

THankyou Barbara! These thoughts really helped me today. I need to write them down so I can read them later.

I tell myself pretty much the same thing everyday. With positive self talk, supportive hubby and family and the wonderful people of these groups I find living for today easier. Have a great day and weekend everyone.

I have learned that every day is precious and a gift. I use to panic and worry about the future until I shut off the news and weather......and started living each day in the moment. I rest better....eat healthier......and leave my weight and other anxiety ridden subjects in the hands of my doctor.

I heard a saying years ago......"the longer you dwell on your misfortunes, the greater is their power to hurt you" ~ author unknown to me.
It rings true to me when I am worrying about things that are out of my control.
Also...."worrying is like praying for something you do NOT want" ~ author unknown to me.

I love sayings becuz it shows me that people have battled the same battles as me and over came them.
My three favorite women are Eleanor Roosevelt, Melody Bettie, and Helen Keller. All wise and strong women :)

I don't know Melody Bettie! Guess I will have to look her up!

Everyday is precious. I used to go over and over the past. But it is just the past. And the future isn't here yet.

That's a crazy avatar, MsBlank1. That's me when I haven't slept enough! LOL!

Wise words, Edger. Living in the moment is really the best way to go. At this monet I am drinking a glass of grapefruit juice in my apartment eagerly anticipating an exciting Halloween weekend and feeling good in general, so I'll hold onto that for now.

I also love, love, love Maya Angelou (RIP 2014).....great lady!

Oh....and I misspelled Melody BEATTIE (NOT Bettie). She wrote the book "CoDependent No More". Her 12 year old son was killed in a snow ski accident in 1991 :(
