Next is always there. Something happens, whether it’s good or bad and I’m left wondering what happens next. It makes me feel anxious.

What happens next?

It seems like a lot.

Every choice I make leads me to new consequences, they can be good, bad or completely unexpected. I’m always wondering, ok…what now? What happens next? Do I want to journey down this path? What do I do? Did I make the right choice? What happens next?

Pause….

Take a breath….

Now

I choose to stand in this moment and live in this moment. I cannot control the future; all I can do is choose where I put my next step. Each choice, each step, a single moment, then another and another. It’s now. I have to let go of what next and live in what’s happening now.

So….what is happening now?

Pause…breathe

How am I feeling now?

Pause…breathe

What can I do now?

Pause…breathe

Breathe in calm and choose to live now instead of worrying about what happens next.
