PastThe Good Old Days syndrome
(+)I wish things were like they were in the “good-old-days” when we had great music for a nickel and the fish were always biting.
Trauma, Grief or Guilt syndrome(-)
Past events that are painful and continue to plague the person in the present, like a significant loss or the feeling of guilt.
FutureI can hardly wait syndrome
(+)Life is always out there----I can hardly wait ‘til graduation, marriage, kids, great job, retirement…
Worry Syndrome(-)
What if…………….happensWorry is just something that we do that we don’t do anything else about.
PresentWe live in the relative present.
We each have the same number of minutes in a day.
How we use those minutes determine the quality of our life.
When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.
The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.--Abraham Maslow
