When we humans try to imagine how we will feel in the future, our current mood and mental state filters how we imagine we will feel. We cannot differentiate our current state from our imagined future state. We also make the mistake of believing that how we feel now will be how we always feel about it. Our brains struggle to believe we could ever e.g.: like something we currently loathe, or be fascinated by something which bores us now. We discount the fact that we will grow, change and evolve over the years, which can often result in a shift of our thoughts and subsequent feelings. This is one reason why many of us feel so overwhelmed when making big decisions. We get overwhelmed at the idea of making huge choices and life changes, like becoming a parent, because we cannot imagine feeling differently or having different skills in the future. Who we are right now may not be able to accomplish this thing, but that doesn’t mean we cannot grow through what we go through and become who we need to be along the way. Who we are now is not the sum total of who we can choose to be. The next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by huge confusion and emotions, please remember that this feeling (like all feelings) is temporary — even if your brain can’t imagine a time when you will feel better. You will. You CAN grow into the person you want to become, because there’s a fork in every moment where you can be what you are or what you are not. You’re choosing in every second. Have a beautiful Sunday everyone. Love and peace.
