Overthinking and living in fear

I worry a lot and have a lot of fears about the future. My counselor told me that when I focus all my thoughts on worrying about something, I am throwing my day away, and throwing my life away. He told me to "live in the moment", meaning I just need to enjoy each day as much as I can and take one day at a time.

Not that I do not 'worry' about what will happen to me when I get to be unable to be living by myself -- at 80 I am able to do all things I need including care for cat (or is it cat who looks after me with his calming and playful presence) BUT it's a fleeting worry as I know Just Worry is a sheer WASTE that is irretrievable. So I plan the healthiest lifestyle that will ensure my independence -- and give me a sense that I spent my 24 hrs As Best I cud.

Now I must do walking before I treat myself to dinner.
Good luck and keep posted.
P.S. Do u really wanna a regular 'support group' to nudge each other for keeping up? let me know.
I'd hate to see a fellow human falling back when going forward was so accessible.
