Anxiety quotes!!!! :D ;)

Below are a few short Anxiety quotes and sayings that people may find helpful. Don’t wait until you feel better to live your life get your coat on and live it now. Learning to accept who we are is the first step to recovery, trying to rid ourselves of discomfort and distress only serves to increase it. Remember Anxiety never stops you doing anything. That is always your choice! I chose to live my life and take it with me. Anxiety is like quicksand, the harder we struggle to escape, the deeper we sink. Have faith that things will get better, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but things will get better. An intrusive/fearful thought is not important, it's your reaction to it that is, give it its space and move on with your day. A lot of anxiety and fear is down to habits and beliefs, thankfully these can be changed, a new attitude and outlook is key. When you do something new and you did not feel too great, see it as a victory that you did it and not a failure that it didn't go too well. Each time you refuse to hide away and do something, your mind and body will get used to the situation and your reactions will weaken. If you want your life back you have to live it!The less you obsess and worry about how you feel, the freer the mind becomes and the more you reattach with the world around you. Truly no longer care what others think, drop the act, the painted smile, don’t feel the need to convince others that everything is ok. With anxiety we have far more imaginary worries than real ones. Suddenly feel overwhelmed? Don't analyse, react or try to make sense of it, just allow it to wash over you and it will run its course. If anxiety tried to stop me doing something, I would do it even more to show it who was in charge. Don’t keep endlessly looking for a cure to your anxiety, create one by no longer letting it rule what you do and don’t do. Fears are never as bad as we think when faced, their growl often turns into a whimper, it's our imagination that makes us think differently. See a setback as a comeback. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. (Corrie Ten Boom)
