If thinking about the long-term future feels extraordinarily heavy, burdensome, and challenging, and the current moment is filled with exhaustion, anxiety, and nervousness — try reducing the enormity of it all by focusing on shorter timeframes. Concentrate on getting through the next minute, and only that. Focus on navigating the next minute in the best possible way you can imagine. Get through one minute, and then another. There’s no need to dwell on the distant future with such weight; sometimes, simply getting through each moment is enough. Time will pass, and eventually, we’ll make it through the longer-term period, doing our best minute by minute along the way.
