Do you worry about the past, present, or future?
What’s worrying you today?
Each day brings a different concern, doesn’t it? Today, perhaps my worry is about not being mindful as I usually am. So, I bring myself back to the present moment by allowing the worry, being kind and compassionate to it and myself. “Don’t worry, be happy.”

Worry unchecked turns into anxiety for me. Today I’m not feeling well but I know that I’ve done what I need to do for my health at the moment. I just need to breathe and rest. If there is something really wrong it will make itself known.
