Bringing yourself into the present moment neutralizes the worry, pulling you out of the ego’s time-machine, helping you realize you are safe in your body in the present—even if the safety is just for this very moment or the next five minutes or the next day or week.

This piece of timeless wisdom concerns focusing on what lies right in front of you rather than concerning yourself with where the future might or might not take you.
