Staying in today

I have been experiencing troubles staying in the here and now of today...Getting anxiety not so much of the past anymore but still a lot about the future.

Does anyone else experience this and how do you deal with it?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, absolutely. I am working on this myself. It something that needs constant attention. We can't change what happened even two minutes ago and we can't control the future. The past can cause us shame and regret and the future anxiety and fear. All we ever have is the now, this moment. That's all there ever really is. We do the next right thing and don't repeat the past mistakes. We surrender we have no control over the future. We can only do the right thing now. I recommend the power of now by Eckhart Tolle. Talks a lot about how our Minds are in the past and future. But just because our minds our there it doesn't make it real. The only real is the now. Pay attention to your breathe and surroundings and do the next right thing.
