Your life seems to rushing by like a whirlwind at the moment, but you’re panicking more than ever about your future. What if you never land the dream job you want? What if you never fulfill your bucket list? What if you never have a family? You do everything you can to maintain a stress free existence but right now everything is getting on top of you. You want to reduce your anxieties and start to feel much happier about your future. You don’t want to be overthinking about life anymore; you’re ready to feel present and embrace all of your positive assets again. Check out these ideas that will help you to combat any stresses you might be feeling at the moment.

Build a Bucket List

When you start to get worried about the future, one of the best ways to combat your stresses is to physically write down all of the things you want to do with your life. This list could involve anything from retirement activity ideas to holiday bucket list destinations. You don’t want to live the rest of your life sitting in front of the television wishing you could have done all of these things. Start planning right away, because life will fly by you before you know it. Yes, you will have your entire life to complete your bucket list, but now is the time to set it all in stone.

Live in the Moment

Will you remember the day you spent hours in bed scrolling through social media until your eyes go blurry? Probably not. You will probably remember all of the amazing activities you enjoyed with your family and friends. It is time for everyone to put down their mobile phones and start focusing on being present in the moment. Nowadays there are far too many people who are hiding behind their screens instead of truly enjoying amazing experiences. Be one of those people who isn’t afraid to turn their phones off and not check their Instagram following every five minutes. The real life experiences are what you are going to remember in the future. 

Put Family and Friends First

You will always regret not spending time with your close friends and family. In the blink of an eye any of them could be taken away from you and then you will never get the chance again. Start making more time for the people who truly care about you and you won’t have to worry about missing those precious moment with them.

Find an Activity You Love

If you have wanted to pursue a particular hobby for a while, but you’ve felt to insecure or nervous, now would be the perfect time to take the leap and just to it. Whether it’s a salsa class or cooking lessons you won’t regret giving it a go; you might even be exercising without realising it, which will do wonders for you overall health.

So try something new, do what is right and stop stressing over the future. As long as you are living in the moment, you will have a happy and fulfilled life.
