Anxiety takes place when we start dwelling on thoughts of worry, memories, etc. and miss the present moment awareness. The past is full of tension, worry, and anxiety while the future is connected with goals, dreams, ambitions, etc. Our past has already moved into a different dimension and the future has not yet arrived, so there is no point living in them.
Research says that we have more than 65,000 thoughts every day and 99.99% of them are useless. If I think about yesterday's thoughts, I can notice that most of them were unwanted thoughts. But we waste our time and energy on them. Like attracts like, if we focus on useless thoughts, we are pulled towards them. So people are living with thoughts of anxiety.
