Stop over thinking, be in the moment?

I use to have very awful social anxiety as you maybe 6 to 7 years ago. Since then I've been meditating almost everyday. Staying in the present moment, or mindfulness is term I prefer for it, is a very powerful way of dealing with your anxiety. NoFap could definitely help, as over stimulation of any kind can disrupt the way your body operates. It took a while for my anxiety to lessen. Your best friend will be time. Stick with meditating and being mindful. You keep practicing it and soon you'll notice some changes.

 

Here is my method which I adapt from Dale Carnegie in 'How to stop worrying and start living'
- live in the 'day-tight compartments'
He explained that our life is similar to a ship and we have to protect it from being sunk by not letting the past and future intervene with our present. *sorry for the bad interpretation, it sounds much easier to understand when translated in my mother tounge*
Anyway, the method's orginal idea came from this quote 'It is not our goal to see what lies dimly in the distance but to do what clearly lies at hand' by Thomas Carlisle.
I have been adapting them in real life for 5 years now, and it is 70% effective overall.
Can you share the technique you are using now for meditation? I've tried some apps on Appstore but they all require expensive in-app purchase and I don't have that much money to afford.

 

Thank you, for your input guys. I needed to hear this, just today!

 

nice
