Choosing to Reset Our Thoughts When We’re Anxious

@bethvogt

I’m keeping today’s post straightforward.

As I write these words, tallies are coming in for the 2020 U.S. presidential election. I have no idea what news tomorrow will bring — about the election or anything else I’m concerned about, for that matter. And I do have other things I’m worried about. I know a lot of people are anxious about this election. About COVID-19. And about so many other issues in their lives.

Anxiety is a common theme these days.

I searched for quotes to help us reset our minds when worry and fear press in.

“Anxiety’s like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you very far.”
Jodi Picoult (1966-), American writer

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
Dan Millman (1946-), American author

 “People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.”
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Irish playwright

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.”
T.S. Eliot (1888-1965), American-British poet

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”
Mother Teresa (1910-1997), founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity
“When thinking about life, remember that no amount of guilt can change the past. No amount of anxiety can change the future.”
Unknown

“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest taken between two deep breaths.”
Etty Hillesum (1914-1943), Dutch author
