Listen Tohru-kun, if thinking about something makes you anxious, the best thing you can do is stop thinking about it! It’s like this: Imagine you’re in the middle of a mountainous pile of laundry, so much laundry that you can’t even take one step. On top of that, you don’t have a washing machine, so everything has to be washed by hand, one at a time. You don’t know where to start. “Can I really wash everything? Can I make everything clean again? Can I make everyone happy?” You wonder if you have what it takes to accomplish this task. But every time you think about it, you get stressed out. Still, time is marching on. What should you do? Maybe you should start by washing the laundry at your feet first. It is important to think about what lies ahead, but if you only focus on that, you’ll trip over the laundry at your feet, right? So it’s also important to think about what you can do right now, today. If you do that, washing one piece of laundry at a time, before you know it, the sun will be out, beaming down on you. And sure, you’ll still feel anxiety from time to time, but when that happens, take a little break. Go read a book, watch some TV, or eat somen with everyone.
