This Too Shall Pass

This time last week you were worried and anxious about something. This time last month and this time last year you were too. Can you remember specifically what it was you were worried about?

It may have been an email from your boss or a client, a post on social media or an argument with a loved one that threw you into a state of stress. It’s near impossible to remember. Why? Because it always passes.

Nothing lasts forever. Everything is temporary. Even if it feels like the world is falling around you, that feeling will also pass.

Get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. Thoughts and feelings will come and go. This is inevitable so don’t resist them. Just observe them.

Whatever you are worried about in this moment, take comfort in knowing that “this too shall pass”.

This too shall pass. It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.
