Whatever age you are, it can be very easy to focus on wanting to be at a different stage of life than you are right now. We sometime dream about how amazing life will be next year, or when you’re 15, or when you’re a grown up. Or maybe you wish you go back to when you started school and do it all over again.
Whether you’re reminiscing about being younger or dreaming about being older, we create this imaginary idea of what life was like or what life will be like at that stage.
There is nothing wrong with this really, because we’re focusing on the positives of being another age, but it can stop us realising how great things are right NOW.
