I am working on my future goals all the time. It may be regarding a web site I want to built my company investing etc. I have one goal and that is too be successful in which my terms will take hard work and discipline. After seeing that this is causing much anxiety in me (by the way I am 15) I wanted to know of a way to relax and not just distract myself. How can I find a peaceful place? How do I live for the moment when I have so many futuristic goals?
Answer:
I went through my adolescent life exactly the same as you. I was always enmeshed in my future goals and started to suffer anxiety due to it. I knew that I could and would be successful but I wasn't sure if I could tolerate the pain of isolation that came from this. I didn't have time for a lot of friends or socialization and I think this was what made me anxious. Anyway...I decided to join a gym and I set up a schedule that I stuck to religeously. I combined exercising my body with exercising my mind. After a very short period of time I saw the therapeutic results. I continued to strive for my goal(s) and today am very successful. Many people tried to sidetrack me and gave me all kinds of advise about how I should be living my life. I am so happy that I decided to ignore that advice and today I am healthy and comfortably searching all the time for loftier goals.
To me it sounds that you might have a mild ocd. You might be obsessed and worried about your future rather than being ambitious about it. If that is the case talk to your parents so they can look for the right help for you.
One thing that I can suggest is to try to start some hobby that really interests you like painting, playing an instrument, gardening, sport, .. or whatever that you really enjoy to do. It helps.
Don't worry. Enjoy your teen years. :)
