How do I stop living in the future?

Answered 2026-10-30 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher

You can't stop living in the future by planning to stop. That plan is the future too. The mind leans forward because it believes the good part is coming: after the commute, after Friday, after you finally sort things out. It never arrives, because you only ever arrive here. Don't fight the leaning. Notice it, the way you'd notice a draft from an open door. Next time you're waiting at a red light, feel both hands on the wheel until it turns green.
