Short transcript excerpt of a spoken discussion on anxiety: the speaker explains anxiety arises from focusing on the future (contrasted with depression as past-focused) and recommends practicing presence and orienting toward situations where one can exert control. The clip emphasizes being present and realistic about controllable aspects of the future.

F Said, how do you stop being anxious? I think it's important to understand that anxiety comes from kind of focusing on the future. Depression is really aligned with focusing on the past. Right. So it's really about understanding and being very present in the moment and realizing that you can only control certain things in the future and to be in environments and situations where you can be more in control of things.
