Future is always in the hands of SriKrishna.Just surrender yourself completely to the Lord and let free your mind from past and future.Live in the present .
Maybe we shouldn't worry about ours near future, because it is determined already from our action [ lack of action] in the near past. We should worry what kind of seeds are we planting now, for our distant future.

Hare Krishna! Dandavat Pranam!
This is such a simple & great answer Prabhuji. Our immediate future is going to be largely influenced by our karma (which is nothing but our 'past' desire). So when we go through pain and suffering, we re-think the choices and make better choice for future (desire according to 'dharma'). We can not expect 'overnight' solutions / changes in life, since the mind is soaked into past desires (and karma) of innumerous births.
By constant chanting, reading scriptures and taking devotee's association, one can certainly get over the ill effects of past karma.
Bg 12.12— If you cannot take to this practice, then engage yourself in the cultivation of knowledge. Better than knowledge, however, is meditation, and better than meditation is renunciation of the fruits of action, for by such renunciation one can attain peace of mind.

As mentioned in the previous verses, there are two kinds of devotional service: the way of regulative principles and the way of full attachment in lo…
I understand - some people are hypertensive by nature. WHat really helps if good quality chanting. Another thing is particular yoga exercises and pranayam.
The third thing you can do is read scriptures and realise them. The more you surrender to the lord, the less the anxiety.
Another way is to dovetail this anxiety in the service of the lord. The way to do this is to render devotional service to the lord, in whatever way you can. By nature, you will worry, so better to worry whether you are doing service properly to Krsna. THis will please the lord and you will get devotional service as a reward.
Just stop worrying for your future and surrender yourself to Lord Krishna in devotion by sincerely chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra and the Supreme Lord will shower his mercy upon you and will take care of all your needs.

Pranams. Stress occurs when outcome of something is uncertain yet important. You are right worrying about the future just spoils the present and does not help anything. I too am an over thinker and fall victim to worrying about future much more than many other people. To share my personal experience, Krishna has many times helped me and saved me from calamities so unexpectedly. I am learning to develop faith in Krishna. We must remember Krishna is all powerful and not a blade of grass moves without his sanction. If you want a job, Krishna residing in heart of interviewer can change his mind. Even if we get misery it is in minimized form and just for our purification.
There are many sannyasis who don't have any source of income and don't know where next meal comes from and they simply depend on Sri Krishna. The key is to depend on Krishna and increase 9 processes of devotional service. I find prabhupada radio on mayapur.tv very purifying and I listen to it whenever stressed.

All obstacles in the life can be crossed with ease, just by surrendering fully at the Lords lotus feet.
