My Anxiety Makes It Hard To Plan For The Future By Holly RiordanUpdated July 18, 2020 Jayson Hinrichsen My anxiety makes it hard for me to commit to future plans because my mind changes by the day Today, I might be super excited about the idea of taking a road trip with my best friends over summer vacation But when the time comes to actually follow through on those plans, there’s no telling what kind of mood I’m going to be in I might be terrified to step foot out of the house I might be nervous about what kind of conversation to make during such a long drive I might be dreading the idea of being stuck in the car for such a long period of time with no escape, no chance to leave early, no way out of the situation Of course, I also hate last second plans I need time to prepare for what I’m about to get myself into I ned to pick out an outfit I need to look up directions I need to get myself into the right mindset to socialize I rarely agree to plans made at the last second because there’s not enough time to prep myself mentally My anxiety causes me to stay stuck in my home, alone, wishing I was out with other people Meanwhile, I’ll spend most of my time with other people wishing I was back in bed in bed I’m never happy I’m always wishing I was somewhere else Or maybe I simply wish I was someone else I wish I was someone who felt comfortable in social situations I wish I was someone who could strike up a conversation with anyone, even a complete stranger, and keep it going for hours I wish I was the type of person who got energized by being around big groups of people I wish my brain worked differently I wish even the simplest conversations weren’t such a chore for me My anxiety is a constant source of stress Even when it’s not around, I’m worried about when it might come bouncing back I’m worried that it will ruin a perfectly fine day out of nowhere My anxiety causes me to miss out on tons of events, adventures, and experiences I might turn down an invitation to a party out of fear the other person only invited me because they thought I would say no Or because they were trying to be polite Or because they felt bad for me It doesn’t matter how many times someone tells me they want me to come, because I will assume they are going to be relieved when I don’t show up I will assume I’m secretly unwanted My anxiety makes it hard for me to get excited about the future because I never know what I’m capable of handling Some days, I can act carefree and funny Other days, I can barely make eye contact without wanting to run and hide I never know what to expect from myself I never know when anxiety is going to hit me next I Hope You Don’t Let Other Voices Make You Doubt Your Own There a comes a point in life when you are faced with more than one choice, more than one option and more than one road but more often than not, you find yourself leaning toward the road less traveled, the least favorable option or maybe the more difficult choice and that’s where the real challenge begins, the real test, whether you should listen to yourself and follow your own compass or listen to the majority who are always leaning more toward the safest choice, the one with the least damage, the one that is predictable but doesn’t necessarily make you happy Now, this is where you either make a decision because it’s safe and comfortable for you and approved by almost everyone or make the one that makes your heart skip a beat, that might be a little bit harder to achieve or maintain but it’s everything you’ve been dreaming of It makes you fearful and anxious but it also makes you flutter with happiness when you think about where it could take you or how much happier it will make you You could fail, you could come back eventually and tell people that they were right, you could stumble and feel like you should have tested the waters before jumping in with both feet, but you could also rise, you could soar, you could come out of this experience with a lot to offer, a lot of important lessons, a sense of accomplishment, a new beginning and a much more rewarding life It all goes back to you, what does your heart really tell you? What does the voice inside your head whisper to you? How does it feel when you think about every choice? Because I know that sometimes the easy way is not the right way for you and the safest choice is not the one that will make you happy I know that sometimes you want to listen to people because you think they know better but at the end of the day no one knows you better than you know yourself, no one knows what you think about before you sleep or what you dream about and no one knows what you need to thrive Trusting your voice and your compass may not always take you to the final destination but it will bring you one step closer I hope you don’t let the voices of others make you doubt your own because your journey will never be easy and smooth and if you always try to play it safe or make predictable choices or stay where it’s convenient and comfortable, you’ll never grow, you’ll never see what’s on the other side and sometimes that’s where all the magic happens, sometimes the destinations you fear the most are the ones you really need to reach and sometimes when you travel on your own, you find everything you’ve been looking for and you find even better things than what you left behind You Are So Much More Than Your Mistakes 11.2k Regret is a funny thing It sticks to us like honey, even after we’ve washed our hands of it It stays on us like the scent that forever stains your collar It always comes back like the pesky fly that won’t disappear But is regret really this relentless? Or are we opening the door of our minds for regret to move into? We wake up mornings regretting the day or days before We tread throughout the day as if regret was a chain linked to our ankles Our heads are down, as we try and pull the weight of our sins But, my dear, if you were to look up and see the sun you’d realize there are things bigger than your past mistakes We go to sleep counting our troubles and praying for better days But don’t you see that it is up to you to make these days exist? Don’t you see, darling, that when you wake, this is the beginning of the rest of your life? Regret should not wake up on the pillowcase beside you Leave regret to past where it belongs Wake up with the conviction that you are better than your past Because, truthfully, I have probably forgotten hundreds of mistakes I’ve made in my lifetime I could not remember what I regretted on a rainy afternoon, like today, years ago Three years ago I remember the trip I took to the coast of France Three years ago I remember being hopelessly in love Three years ago I don’t remember the weight of mistakes we seem to carry voluntarily So let go, my dear As the days go on, it’ll be the momentous moments you scrapbook in your mind At the end of our days, we won’t look back on midnight regrets, afternoon gaffes, and morning blunders No, as our days near an end we’ll look back at all we did and hope that we did all we could Do you see yet, darling? How when you waste your moments stuck in a puddle of regret you’re missing all the moments you’ll actually want to remember? Let go Let all the errors drift away Leave the mistakes in the dust with the rest of your past Don’t let darkness overshadow the sparkle of your happiness Because don’t you see yet… there is so much to be happy about When you sit in your rut going back and forth between what if’s and what not’s… Leave your mind and enter the world Enter the world and something worthwhile If you worry that you have faltered, then go out and prove yourself wrong If you feel you’ve lost yourself, then go out and find yourself in the present There are endless possibilities of wonder waiting for you to capture them Leave what you cannot change to memory’s sake The menial mistakes will fade in time You’ll probably make more to add to the disappearing list Make as many as you want, darling We learn from them We grow from them It’s through these very mistakes that we are able to experience the brighter moments with a stronger heart It’s through these very errors that we find more bliss in the wonderful Regret is a funny thing; because it’s something we invent to punish ourselves When truly, you should not punish yourself for living And if an act truly requires reprieve, then not waste time sulking in its wake Go and be the change you want in yourself, go apologize to yourself or the world and then let go, but whatever you – go It’s about time we remove the shackles around our ankles Because I hope you see that the only things we should hold onto are the moments that made you laugh with joy, weep from bliss, smile from sincerity, and above all things – the moments that made us love So love yourself, darling, and love all those around you We all make mistakes, but as our days trickle on, don’t let regret be what defines you You, my dear, are so much more than your mistakes When You Need to Remember There is Good, Read This Sometimes, seemingly more often than not, it seems like the world around us is burning Life always seems to happen at the worst times and sometimes you’re going to question whether or not you’re going to make it through this You’ll look around and wonder if there is anything left that is good in the world I am here to tell you that there are still loads of good in this world, darling The world often feels like a cesspool of negativity; a deep, dark pit; an insurmountable mountain You don’t have to face this world alone Reach out to people in your community Talk to someone face to face Smile at people you pass Introduce yourself to your neighbors Do good, and you will start to see the good as well It’s easy to focus on the bad In the era of social media and technology at our fingertips, we get bombarded with information, and most of the time, the bad stories are what spread the fastest It’s okay to step away It’s okay to put your head in the sand while you allow yourself time to heal It’s even easier to focus on the bad when we are aware of just how good it can be When we remember “the good old days,” when we try so hard to get something back that we didn’t really want in the first place, when we know that the good is great, the bad becomes unbearable But, there is still good in this world, darling It’s the way your dog looks at you when you get home after a long day, and how they are never mad at you for leaving, just happy that you’re back It’s the love a mother feels after months of trying to have a baby, nourishing that baby, and then finally getting to meet that little bundle It’s the feeling you get when you hold someone’s hand for the first time An action so simple and pure, but surprisingly intimate, letting you know, “We’re in this together.” It’s the marriage that lasts 50 years, despite the bad that they experienced, they’re still so in love It’s the infectious air of hope when you go to a wedding The love in the eyes of the newlyweds, and the sense of pride in their families It’s the forgiveness that we see everyday, in small ways, “I’m sorry that I offended you.” And in big ways, “I’m so sorry that I lied to you.” “I forgive you.” And it’s making up after the fights and beyond the forgiveness It’s the people who run into the fire, who throw themselves in front of the danger, who save the life of the person who wronged them There is good everywhere, darling There is light at the end of the tunnel There is sunshine at the end of a storm There is happiness beyond all the sadness It’s coming out of something stronger than you were before Wondering how on earth you could have possibly managed to be so strong for so long, yet somehow, you’re still here The world is still turning, and there is still so much good left in the world, darling 12 Wishes To Take With You Into 2019 My wish for you… Is that you remember you are loved Even at times when you feel like you aren’t When you feel like the world is against you or those you hold dearest let you down You never really have any idea just how many hearts you have captured My wish for you is that you find the courage to make yourself happy Follow your words with actions Address your mental health Take a break from social media and stop seeking validation from others You deserve to give yourself the very love, compassion and attention that you give to others In 2019, start with you My wish for you is that you resist your excuses Leave the relationship that isn’t giving you anything you want Quit complaining about your job if you’re not doing anything about it Fight the need to shy away from rejection It takes strength to not hide behind excuses Breathe through the outcome if it’s not what you expected That’s life We move on This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 232011) My wish for you is that you take risks They are not meant to be easy but risks encourage growth, they build resilience, and they spark admiration Taking a risk is the exact thing that can get you everything you have ever dreamed of Take that chance, you have it in you My wish for you is that you find inner peace Take the time to be at one with nature Gaze at the beautiful colours that paint the sky when the sun goes down, feel the rain on your skin and the earth between your feet The world is too busy these days Take a break from the artificial My wish is that you look after yourself Walk away from those that are toxic or from anything that causes you pain Surround yourself with people that motivate you to better Surround yourself with those that will celebrate every tiny victory with you Shut the door behind those who won’t 7 My wish for you is that you practice acceptance Accept your mistakes, it will help you to grow Accept that things may not go your way, but make an effort to continue moving forward Accept that you can’t change people, but you can make an effort to live in harmony with them My wish for you is that you follow your heart Go ask that girl out, what’s the worst that can happen? Defy logic and admit your feelings to the guy you’re into One of the most terrifying and exhilarating feelings is amplifying your hearts voice Even if the outcome isn’t what you’d hoped for, you’ll still be relieved you had the courage to say something Trust me, I know My wish for you is that you be kind Not only to others around you but to yourself Adulting is hard The truth is, no one really fully knows what they are doing Show me someone who says they have the perfect answers to life and I’ll show you a liar 10 My wish for you is that you explore other people’s perspectives Situations are so much more than what you think you see Having an open mind beats having a limiting one Try to understand why you might have upset someone Try to be reasonable when others have upset you 11 My wish for you is that you stand up for what is right Don’t be someone you are not to try and please others Pay no attention to the idea of ‘popularity.’ Be there for people, but don’t let them take advantage The more you stay in your own lane and own who you are, the happier you will be 12 Finally, my wish for you is that you are happy That you love the people you are surrounded by, that you love going to work every morning, and that you love spending time on this Earth while it takes you on a trip around the sun ... you find even better things than what you left behind You Are So Much More Than Your Mistakes 11 .2k Regret is a funny thing It sticks to us like honey, even after we’ve washed our hands of it... is still turning, and there is still so much good left in the world, darling 12 Wishes To Take With You Into 2 019 My wish for you… Is that you remember you are loved Even at times when you feel... not what you expected That’s life We move on This video file cannot be played.(Error Code: 232 011 ) My wish for you is that you take risks They are not meant to be easy but risks encourage growth,
