It is normal for people to worry about their future. Mainly because it is the unknown and people have a fear of the unknown. Anything could happen by surprise. And that can cause worry.

Practice mindfulness. Be in the now. Its hard to do, honestly. But when ever you are worrying about the future, take a deep breathe and look around. Where are you now? Who are you with? You have today and you can decide what you do today. The future is unpredictable, who know's what can happen even tomorrow..

Know that the whole journey to get to where you want to is important and what we call life - not just the final destination. Nothing is certain and I think to some extent having an 'it is what it is' attitude can help get through the things we can't help. A CBT type of activity really helps to manage how we may feel e.g. anxiety, doing meditation or some sort of relaxation exercise. I'd also say if there are things that you can mostly control e.g. how well you perform on an exam, then work as hard as you can in order to get the best possible outcome. However, also know that there is always another path to get to the same destination. For me that was knowing I could still study medicine with less than perfect exam results if i took another route to get there - doing a foundation year on top or doing a different degree first and then applying for graduate entry medicine! Lastly, believe in yourself, you have to be your own biggest fan in this journey!!

You can't predict the future. Thus, just keep doing what you are doing currently and try new things that you love!

The best way to stop worrying about the future in my experience is to just focus on the present. I found worrying about the future always complicated situations and caused unnecessary stress. I've learned that all that you can do is all that you can do and all you can do is enough (Art Williams) and i live by it.

you are concerned ans that is good however it brings lot of worries which turns into turnmoil and thoughts suddenly change ita course and controls you. Feel helpless and want to shake that worries off but it still lingers on you like a fly with an annoying noise.

I personally have suffered a lot when it comes to worrying about the future, whether it's my grades or something else. But I think the best way to tackle it is the popular phrase of living in the present and everything else should fall into place. You should enjoy life rather than worrying about every step at the end of the day!

It starts with being ok with the present. If you are happy with where you are today, and where you'll be tomorrow, you will be ok. Not to say that you shouldn't plan ahead, just try to not be emotional about the future.

We tend to worry about our future because we really don't know what is waiting for us and we don't know what is coming, so we worry about our future because of that
