Soon 2025 will over — yet another new year is coming by.
Time keeps going and we keep getting older.
In the past this really hit me hard in milestone moments like new years and birthdays.
I just hated to see the time passing. I knew there was nothing I could do about it but I hated it all the same.
But soon I realized why I kept feeling this way.
It’s because I was not living the life I truly wanted to live.
I was not doing anything with my life. I was not making progress.
Time was indeed passing me by.
Once I start moving and living closer to my ideal life my anxiety about time passing dropped dramatically.
I was no longer watching time just keep going.
Now I was flowing with time. I was using time.
So you see this is one of the biggest reasons people are anxious about getting older.
When you’re not where you want to be and making zero progress towards it, time feels like an enemy and a threat.
It feels like a countdown towards the end of a wasted existence.
And each passing year is a reminder of that countdown.
So to deal with time anxiety, it would make a big difference to start living closer to your ideal life.
And the most important thing is progress.
You don’t have to everything at once and be exactly where you desire in 1 week.
Focus on making progress. Growth. Using time.
When you see yourself moving in life, time will no longer be the enemy you desperately wish you could bring to a halt.
Time will become an ally, working with you to bring your greatest self into existence, one day at a time.
