RE: FACT: No Amount Of Guilt Can Solve The Past And No Amount Of Anxiety Can Change The Future
I make half of my living as a musician/ artist. I worry about anything and everything, I never have enough money to save up a nest egg in case things go south and it's effected how I interact with people and view life on a daily basis. I found this book through other books like "how to win friends and influence people" and it has done wonders for my psyche. I downloaded the audio book and try to listen to it once every few months to put things into perspective for me.
The trick is trying to forgive yourself and denying yourself the urge to worry about things you have no control over. Easier said than done, but taking things at face value piece at a time seems to have helped me a lot.
What are your thoughts?
Take a listen to the audio book (even if it's just the first 20 minutes) and see if it helps any. It's done wonders for me.
I can completely resonate with you when you said ''taking things at face value.'' it has turned into one of my main principles in 2018, and I must admit so far so good. I've naturally distanced myself from certain frinedships, and I've also started to stop assuming things for what I wish they were. This has allowed me to be more factual-oriented than feelings oriented. Assuming and overthinking became dispensable, and I substitute it with faith and facts. That's all I need. Thank you so much for sharing your story and sharing the audiobook with me. I've never heard of this book in particular, and I'm hoping that it can confirm whether I am walking on the right path or whether I'm being too much of an extremist in terms of self-reliant. I appreciate my friend, I will keep you posted. Take care.
Sure! I hope this is helpful!
