Worrying about things that might happen in the future is especially frightening because you can’t do anything about stuff that only exists in your head. Except, that is, to stop thinking about them. In contrast, problems that show up in the present moment are much less frightening because you can evaluate the circumstances and decide upon a course of action based on what is. Next time you find your mind conjuring up imaginary fears, shift your attention to your breath or your body and remember, many of the scariest things in life…

Will never happen.
