Fears of the Future
Paying attention to the past.
Many people can feel fearful and anxious when they think about the future. The not knowing and not being in control can play havoc on some people who prefer the illusion of controlling their future.
The people who tend to be fearful of the future have likely experienced something in their lives that has caused them to not trust what is around the corner. The things that are around the corner might bring massive change or loss, neither of which promotes happiness and joy.
Some people might have a mental health challenge when it comes to thinking about the future, they might experience one or more symptoms of depression, anxiety, or PTSD. They are robbed of the excitement that so many people feel when they think of the future.
The fears of the future are plentiful and shared by many people. They might be held back by something from their past that they have yet to resolve. The things that might keep some people stuck in the past prevent them from looking forward to the future.
The past has a way of coming up again and again for some people and when there are hurts involved, it can be very challenging to move into the future.
