Thought of the week

 Hey everybody, I thought I would share a truly inspired quote that I just heard...it is not new, but it was new to me...and really awesome!!

I looked up the origins of this and it comes from William James a philshopher and psychologist, and is really at the heart of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."

I was thinking that I would look for a postitve/motivating/inspired or funny quote to add each week here.

You are welcome to add on the the thread with your own favorites as well!

Be well everyone.:)

Hi SC

Great idea for a thread and will be good to see all the input from members so get involved folks. I like the following:-

I try not to worry about the future -- so I take each day just one anxiety attack at a time.


Hibee

These are great! Sayings such as these stick in my mind and during times of panic/high anxiety I recite them in my head :)

 TY!!!  I get way more out of it then I put in by far!

Hey SC,

I really like the both of them.

Thanks again.

This quote is my life goal right now. It is something that i repeat to myself over and over and over, hoping that it will stick in my mind. It hasn't yet but i hope soon it will.
Thank you for sharing S.C.

Hibee

Great contributions Jazz, Kitt and Hibee!...I just now saw them since our computer problems as of late.:(

Okay, here is the next one...it is either late for this week, or early for this one, but it doesn't hurt to kick off the weekend with a great inspiration, right?

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
You must do the thing you think you cannot do. "
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Hugs to all:)

I love quotes! Before I even saw this topic I saw a post by you and loved your quote..."Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles...it empties today of its strength."
