The heading to this post is a scripture that I find very relevant. For years I was such a worrier. I worried about everything. Through years of therapy, of life and learning I have gained this tool. When you are worrying about something in the future. Stop. What is happening right now? Deal with this moment.
Most of the things we worry about never happen. Plus, I believe God will give us what we need in the moment we need it. If I'm going to get cancer in 10 years, I don't need strength to cope with that now.
I've worked hard to learn to live in the moment. It's something I have to remind myself to do constantly. I've learned that many of the unhealthy things I do or don't do are trauma responses. Years of being put down and used have made me hyper vigilant. I'm grateful for the people and the spirit that has helped me to cope with life.
