I find the Dalai Lama’s perspective on worry liberating. He suggests that if a problem can be solved, then taking action is more fruitful than dwelling on anxiety. And if it can’t be solved, worrying achieves nothing. In my own life, that means noticing when I’m drifting into unproductive fretting and asking myself if there’s something concrete I can do about the situation. If there is, I focus on that step. If there isn’t, I practice accepting the moment for what it is.

Right now, I’m discovering that my energy is better spent on mindful awareness rather than looping concerns in my head. By staying in the present—feeling my breath, appreciating the space around me—I ground myself enough to see problems more clearly. It’s not always easy, but when I remember that worry doesn’t fix anything, I free myself to move forward with peace and purpose.


🧘 Mindful Living Tip
​
One simple strategy I use is the “worry window.” I set aside a specific ten-minute block each day to note any anxieties on paper. Once that window is closed, I pivot back to the tasks or activities that keep me engaged in the present. This short practice helps me contain worry and prevent it from leaking into the rest of my day.
