Everyone worries; it’s been hardwired into our brains from the days our ancestors were roaming around the Serengeti.

Understand your worries, and let them go. Here’s the thing: Worrying keeps you from the present; it stops you from living in the now. Of course it’s impossible to completely stop worrying—remember, hardwired in our brains—but you can become conscious of it. And it’s only once you become conscious of something can you actually make an effort to change it.
