Do you worry before you even started? Well, you are in good company, a lot of us do that, me included! But as the writer puts it:<br \/>\n<strong>&#8220;Thoughts are just thoughts and not a reflection of the truth.<\/strong>\u00a0[&#8230;]<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Often, we are sunk so deeply in thought that we forget to be present in the now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thinking and escaping into our mind is good, if we manage to not go\u00a0into the wrong direction, to not allow our thoughts to drag us down; but instead manage to catch them before we go down that path.\u00a0And <em>Mindfulness<\/em> brings awareness to this thought process. We\u00a0become aware of our thoughts, the behaviour and emotions that may result out of them.\u00a0And by being aware, we\u00a0are able to act on those thoughts, to not let our mind go into that direction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t influence which thoughts you have, but you can decide what to do with them.&#8221; (Brandsma). And\u00a0a friend put it so spot on during a recent Skype\u00a0call when we spoke about my concerns and worries; &#8220;<strong>anxiety comes from focusing on the future, stay focused on the present!<\/strong>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5119\" src=\"https:\/\/ateaseandmore.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/02\/img_9466.jpg?resize=190%2C188\" alt=\"img_9466\" width=\"190\" height=\"188\" \/><br \/>\nWell, those are thoughts I will take with me and try to focus on.
