Focusing on the future is not helpful @MDT have you tried meditation and mindfulness?

Try to bring yourself back to the present, focus on your senses touch, sight, smell and sound. 

Have you tried or do mandala? It is a ancient Indian meditation, it is patterns you colour, they are intricate and it really helps you focus on the here and now.

You can download them from the net and print them. 

I'm glad you caught up with friends, it must be nice to hang out again. 

It has been a very long time since I socialised with friends, around 20 years. 

I do miss it sometimes

Life is complex isn't it @Jacques
Another year comes by and we are here still.

Yeah I'm okay my friend.

Good to hear @MDT 

[Jacques]

yeah your right @MDT it can be a wild ride sometimes. 

i guess sometimes it feels like life is out of control, we need to find balance in all our lives. it is so so difficult in this modern world. 

im glad you are good mate. it is raining here, so im just enjoying the smell and sound of it. 

the little things in live is what i get joy out of now

[MDT]

Definitely @Jacques
Having some cake now

[Jacques]

Hey @MDT ,

 How was the cake? I hope you savoured it well!

I'd love to have some cake at this moment, but I guess I have to remember it is 4:18am... the sun isn't even up!

Im glad @Jacques  mentioned mindfulness. I was an absolute meditation sceptic... but after persisting with it, I definitely see the benefits. I use the evidence-based, practitioner-endorsed 'Smiling Mind' app. Give it a go.
