Overthinking the motivations and opinions of people usually leave you feeling anxious or disconnected. You feel that your family, friends, or colleagues are judging your ideas or actions negatively and thus take pains to avoid them. However, creating distance between yourself and those whose opinions you fear may only create greater feelings of anxiety. Try not to overanalyze their words or actions. If someone offers negative feedback (usually this does not happen, it is just the fear that someone will offer negative feedback), accepting it graciously and then moving forward with your plans can help you stay fixed in the present moment. There is time to focus on what the future will bring when it finally arrives.
Living in the moment lets you quiet the internal voices that plague you. Finding the meaning and value in the here and now helps you discover the joy of the moment and disregard the uncertainties of the future. Because what will be has not yet been written, the present is where you must live. You then are able to fully immerse yourself in every task and revel in each moment. Often, when we fear the opinions of others, it is because we are projecting our own fears upon their words. If you can let go of your apprehensions, you’ll find that whatever people say won’t affect you. Choose to live in the moment today, and you can stay grounded and not let opinions of others or your fears about the future sway you from your focus.
