When you have too much to worry about, ask yourself: ‘Am I solving anything by worrying?’

Take a moment to pause and reflect.

Often, worries only serve to cloud our judgement and drain our energy. Instead of letting anxiety consume you, remind yourself that worrying rarely changes outcomes.

Because of your worries, are you missing out on the present?

The present moment is where life truly happens.

It’s where joy, love, and opportunities reside.

If worrying is not doing any good, gently say to your anxious mind, ‘I acknowledge you, but I choose to focus on the present moment.’

Shift your focus from the whirlwind of worries to the beauty of now.

Take a deep breath and ground yourself in the present.

Notice the sights, sounds, and sensations around you. Allow yourself to fully experience the richness of the moment.

Practice mindfulness to quiet the chatter of your mind.

Engage in activities that bring you peace and joy, whether it’s going for a walk in nature, practicing yoga, or simply savouring a cup of tea.
