How to Stop Feeling Behind in Life & Fearing the Future

Hi my angels! This video is a little longer because I wanted to make sure it's as thorough and helpful as possible! You no longer have to live in fear of the future or feel like life has passed you by. Life is right here and right now and your time is not up!! The only reason you feel that way is because you've chosen to believe life somehow ends anytime before the day you die. It doesn't. It's ongoing and continuous, and your age is just a number. Don't focus on your past, you can't change it. Don't focus too much on your future, you haven't gotten there yet. When you realize this fear or stress you have is not in your favor, and not founded in truth, you can release it and enjoy life again. These are tips that have helped me in achieving my mindset and creating happiness within myself. I hope you will enjoy and come back to this video every time you need a little reminder. It's YOUR OWN UNIQUE JOURNEY in life, as long as it feels good to you, that's what matters.

Summary:
1) Figure out where the fear stems from (8:28)
2) Become aware of what the fear feels like in your body (11:37)
3) Slow down (15:40)
4) Ask yourself "What makes me happy?" (18:30)
5) Speak positively to yourself (22:28)
6) Let go of control (25:53)

That’s my TOP skill. Worrying about the unknown future and then crying about it.

“Fear is comfortable. Yet it’s uncomfortable.” POWERFUL!!! So true.

The happiest I have been was when i was 20-23, half of it I was stressed out in college and broke as hell, the other half I had graduated, but was still very broke and was struggling to find a job.
At 23 I found my 'dream guy' and spent the following two years being in a depressing relationship that truly took a toll on my mental and physical health. I'm 25 now and I have my dream job, my dream car, my 'dream life', but I'm the most depressed I've ever been. Just because you have what you want doesn't mean you will be happy. Take care of your inner-self and you will be okay no matter where you are in life.

I am going to be 32 this year, am getting divorced after an 8 year relationship. I just finished my MA, and just started teaching part-time. I am burdened by debt and am back in my mother's house because of the divorce and debt. I feel like a failure because my husband cheated on me multiple times, and I am back in my childhood bedroom with someone who was emotionally abusive to me as a child. I need out. I am working to raise my vibration again, so I can manifest money and a house, so I can finally move out on my own.

Youtube really should have a love button!

I feel so much academic pressure and I always come home from class not feeling good enough. I took less classes because I wanted to focus on my mental health. I need to build new boundaries and copying mechanisms. Thank you for this video you have helped me so much :-) <3

Wow Isabel this video just came in the right time for me. I’ve been fearfully of my future and specially hurt by not having opportunities right now that majority of my friends already have: stable careers, loving serious relationships, plans and so on. I totally feel behind and without hope that one day I’ll also get there. I haven’t finished yet, but I know just by the starts of it that you will change those terrible thoughts in my mind and will take away my anxiety too. You’re an angel 💜.

Dont make happiness a condition but a state of mind that hit me hard

[jeslay]

plus it helps to tell yourself to enjoy the process and not the product. I feel like we're all focused on the future and that we'll be happy when we achieve a degree for example. When no don't do that. I suffer from bad anxiety and when I tell myself to just breathe and enjoy the journey it works for me. There are so many blessings around us to be grateful for and a lot of us don't see that. That's why I'm starting to take action to reduce my anxiety like working out and doing a meditative slow flow yoga class. Hopefully that all will help!

[Piscesbabxy]

literally made me cry when she said that its all linked to your past!! (the fear )

[wendyg.]

i’m taking the steps to heal and this truly made me face one of my wounds, i got a bit emotional, but now i’m inspired to make happiness a state of mind, to accept what is now, to feed myself the love i yearn so criticism and praise doesn’t affect me, to truly dig deep into my fears to change my patterns, and to ultimately trust my highest good that what i am doing right now, is building me. i am exactly where i need to be right now and i now accept the challenge to fully facing and understanding the wounds i’ve left untreated. beautiful video and message, my best vibes to you too ☀️🙏

Thank you for this video. I am so grateful <3
I really needed to hear this today.
I'm 22 years old and I constantly feel like I'm not where I am "supposed" to be. Because most people my age have full-time jobs and I don't because of chronic illness and that other people are moving out etc and I still live at home and feel a really long way away from moving out because of past anxiety disorder and things. Then I realised actually I'm doing what most people never do in their lives let alone at 22 years old! I'm figuring out what hobbies I like, what I love to do, creating passions and things that I like doing (playing the piano, writing, baking and cooking etc). I'm also self-healing, I'm on a spiritual path of healing myself and returning to my true nature of love and peace. Healing suppressed emotions, feelings, mindset, the past. Healing my old negative. victim, flight or fight mindset, habits, rituals, patterns. I am working on my internal self every single day, I have Reiki sessions, breathwork, I'm learning and educating myself from spiritual teachers, I'm meditating and tapping, I'm journalling and doing all of the things most people don't do. I'm willingly dealing with all my shit and the past trauma of anxiety and panic disorder that let me to maybe manifest a chronic illness that is of the autonomic nervous system! Most people suppress everything their whole lives and I decided I want to truly heal so just because I don't have a job and still live at home and seemingly "behind" in life. I'm proud of myself for even wanting to deal with my own shit so I can live my beautiful, healthy, peaceful life I desire :)

Sometimes I still feel that fear of the future and wonder if where I'm at right now will be the same in a few years time and that fear around "I should be doing more" or "I should be working at this age because everyone else is".

I do not know how you knew this Isabel, but this was EXACTLY what I had been struggling with for the past few days. Ive started a new habit of reading as well as taking action in my life, and by day 20 of 2020, I was feeling like I was racing to “catch up” with the rest of the world. I felt behind with where I was at because, exactly like you said, I wasn’t happy with where I was at in life — I thought I’m “behind” in life.

Your energy and your smile, and presence is so beautiful, and so calming. I want to thank you for being true to who you are. Your message is a beautiful one, and one that I am carrying with me ❤️
