Mindfulness Quote

Submitted by Irene Javors, LMHC

The Roman statesman and stoic philosopher once wrote, "true happiness is ... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future."

Staying in the 'now' is easier said than done. We are either looking backward or rushing forward. To stay present is to let go of control, to let life unfold. This makes us very frightened and we get a terrible case of the "what if's" and "woulda, coulda, shoulda's." Staying in the moment and just breathing? What a relief from all those creeping anxieties!
