I was going to say this, but I didn't want to be a downer on this sub, it's usually a fairly positive place.

But yeah, I think the goal in life should be to be the best version of yourself that you can.

You will very rarely achieve all of your dreams, or do all of the things that you ever wanted, because that's unfortunately not how life works most of the time, but you can learn to accept who you are and what you have achieved, given your capabilities and limitations.

I have found that there’s no one thing I can do to just magically stop worrying, as much as I would love that. For me, it’s a constant letting go of my pride and remembering that [whatever it is] is in God’s hands and totally out of my control.

For me, worrying is rooted in pride and a sign that I haven’t totally surrendered to God. And for me that’s a daily, sometimes moment to moment, thing. Just my experience.

Thanks for the feedback.

I didn't say that their seeing a therapist is a bad thing. I think anyone can benefit from talking to one. Wouldn't you agree?

I don't think I'm projecting.

The OP sounds like a nice person. They also come across as bored. I think that is an indicator to something. Or consciously decide not to do anything and begin processing the grief that could accompany that. Or, to kick start something new and potentially meaningful.

I have been putting together a declutter journal seeing what does and does not work, I highly suggest doing it, so if it does not get done in a day, you can look back and be proud of what you have accomplished, and see what will work out for the next time you plan to work on it. I.E. One room vs One Draw, 'does the object bring you joy' questions, etc.
