Day by day
When you're going through something hard, it’s altogether too easy to become fixated on the future. Questions like, “How is this going to be okay?” or “When will this end?” or “What will my future look like now that this awful event has happened?” can become pervasive, amplifying the pain of the present moment out into the future.
In these moments, it's so important to gently pull your awareness from thinking about the future and its unknowable nature, and instead, just focus on the day. This day.
And if that feels too big, you can shrink it down to this hour.
And if that feels too big, you can shrink it down to this minute.
You don’t have to ‘figure out your future’ right now. You don’t have to know how you’ll cope with a challenge that might come some day down the road. You don’t have to think about a plan for how to solve it all. You can just take it one minute at a time. Sometimes, that's all we can do.
