Ever read the saying: "Worry exists because we pile up the pain of the past and the worry of the future in the present." "
We have all encountered such moments in our lives, worried about the unknown future, bitter about past regrets, and entangled in the opinions of others.
The past cannot be changed, and the future is yet to come, and thinking too much about them will affect our lives now.
We should focus on the things in the present moment and face life's challenges with a more positive attitude.
Endless thinking will only lead us into deep unhappiness. Know that unhappiness often stems from overthinking, not real-life predicament.
One: Worrying too much about the future makes the present painful
I once read this sentence in the book: "When we worry about the future, the future is already worrying about us." This quote reveals that excessive worry about the future can make us lose the beauty of the present.
In the movie "Young You", Chen Nian makes his adolescence full of pain because of his worries and confusion about the future. In the end, she learned to face reality bravely, strive to pursue her dreams, and live a better life.
Worrying too much about the future will make us ignore the opportunities of the present, and we should learn to adjust our mindset and set reasonable goals.
Two: Excessive reflection on the past, the heart knot that cannot be let go
In the movie "When Happiness Knocks", the protagonist Chris Gardner says: "Yesterday has passed, we can't do anything with it, but today is still going on, tomorrow is not yet there." This quote reminds us to let go of the burdens of the past and live in the present.
Xiao Li used to be a corporate safety officer, but because of a safety accident, she lost her job and fell into deep self-blame and regret. Long periods of over-reflection made his life miserable.
By chance, she met a yoga instructor. In the process of yoga practice, Xiao Li learned how to let go of the past and re-examine his value.
She drew strength from yoga and eventually founded a yoga educational institution to help more people find balance between body and mind.
Over-reflection on the past can lead us to endless self-blame, and we should learn to forgive ourselves, accept the past, and cherish the present.
Three: Worrying about other people's opinions and ignoring your own feelings
The French writer Charles Schon once said: "Do not pay too much attention to what others think, because that will only make you a prisoner of others." This tells us to focus on our own feelings, not what others say.
American actor Jennifer Lawrence was once bitter by his evaluation after becoming famous. She later learned to pay attention to her feelings, bravely expressed herself, and became a well-known actress.
Paying too much attention to what others say can make us ignore our feelings, and we should also build our own values and appreciate our own strengths.
There is a sentence in "Beautiful Life": "Life is like a movie, you don't have to worry about every detail, the important thing is to grasp those moments that make the heart feel happy." "
This quote teaches us to learn to find those good moments in our lives instead of focusing too much on the negative.
When we can cherish and appreciate the little good things in life, it will be easier for us to find happiness and reduce the unhappiness caused by thinking too much.
Worrying too much about the future, reflecting too much on the past, and paying too much attention to what others think can lead us into a spiral of unhappiness.
Therefore, we need to learn to adjust our mentality, focus on the present, bravely face reality, and let go of things that cannot be changed.
Only in this way can we get rid of the burden of overthinking and truly embrace inner peace and joy.
