The underlying current

I don't really have time to go into the whole existential examination since I'm supposed to be working on a case study, but the last several months I've been wondering if I should make a change. However, rather than just allow myself the time to peacefully come to my decision, I have this undercurrent of angst that is starting to permeate all aspects of my life. Instead of just focussing on daily life, enjoying its pleasures and slowly moving forward on/completing some other objectives, I worry that I will wake up and 5 years will be gone having focussed on the day's agenda. In short, rather than making decisions based on my heart and head, or even when I think I've made a decision based on my heart and head, I have become focussed solely on whether I will regret the decision (whatever it is) 5 years from now. Which is leaving me with this undercurrent of anxiety. I need to get past this and just let myself be.

But first, I need to let myself be doing my case study.
