Live The Vibrant Life
When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened. ~ Winston Churchill
When you worry that someone dislikes you, is upset with you, or that the situation is worse than it truly is, stop and think, “Who told you that?” Usually, you won’t know the answer and will discover that it’s only a thought, which you can choose to reject.
I’ve noticed that worrying is like praying for what you don’t want to happen. ~ Robert Downey Jr.
Difficult emotions: anger, sadness, worry, or shame, etc. use up a lot of energy and brain power. Rather than letting them take over, write down exactly how you feel. Get it all out, then crumple up the paper and throw it in the trash.
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think. ~ Rumi
Be A Warrior Not A Worrier. As a chronic worrier, I’ve learned that sometimes the only way to defeat worry or anxiety is through action. And sometimes that can take a heroic effort.
On particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad rough days so far is 100%…and that’s pretty good.
Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create. ~ Roy T. Bennett
you understand the song that’s inside of me
And you sing in harmony a heartbeat away
And you are the friend that I’ve always wanted
I’m no longer haunted, with You I am safe
