How much can you eat at one time?
What if you tried to sit down at your dinner table and eat enough food to last you all week long? Could you do it?
Let’s say you could. Could you eat enough in that one sitting to last you all month? All year?
That’s ridiculous, you say. Just like you can’t eat enough food at one time to last you really more than a day, you literally can’t live your life more than one day at a time.
And on some level, you know that’s true. But think for just a second about how your thoughts run way beyond today. Do you ever worry about something that may happen next week? Next month? Next year? Twenty years from now?
So many people I coach choose to overwhelm themselves by worrying about what will happen in the next week, month, year, or 20 years. They become anxious by living way out of today.
When you feel overwhelmed today, say to yourself, “I choose to Live Positive today” and remind yourself to only eat enough for today.
