A great psychologist (sorry thats what my major is, so this is what I hear everyday :)) Abraham Maslow said once, "When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness." I think I have been feeling both the depression and the anxiety lately in my life. Mostly towards the anxiety side. I worry about my future all the time. There are so many unanswered questions I have now. Such as marriage, career, grad school, possibly a mission, even down to where am I going to live this summer? I drive myself crazy thinking about these things, but I need to worry more about what is going on right now in my life so that I can get that complete "mental wellness" I'm so worried about what the next step after Cedar is that I'm not letting myself enjoy the time I have here in Cedar. So for my goal of 2010 and this new (and also last) semester at SUU is to enjoy the time I have here. I'm going to try and not worry about things that are beyond my control at this point.
PS Sorry no pictures in the last two posts, I will try and put up some from over the christmas break soon..but for now i just felt like posting how I've been feeling lately! School just started today and I'm very excited to graduate in May!
