So, what does this quote mean? Well, it means that we can fight stress simply by deciding what to think about. Yeah, it’s as simple (and as tough) as that!
Of course, stress is something we all face. And often, it’s not so much about what’s happening around us, but how we see or CHOOSE to interpret those events.
This quote is a friendly reminder that says we have the power to control what goes on in our heads. Instead of stressing out, we can try to look at things differently.
Here’s how it works: what we think affects how we feel, which in turn influences what we do. If we get caught up in negative thinking, it stirs up all kinds of rough emotions, and before we know it, we’re doing things that make us feel even more stressed.
For example, imagine you’ve got a big presentation coming up. If you keep telling yourself it’s going to be a disaster, you’ll probably start freaking out and maybe even try to dodge the whole thing.
But what if we could flip the script? What if, instead of stressing about that presentation, we started thinking about it as a chance to show what we can do? Or even as a chance to learn, no matter how it goes? That’s the idea behind the quote.
This isn’t about pretending bad things aren’t happening. It’s about realizing we have a say in how we deal with life’s ups and downs. The power to pick our thoughts can take a very stressful situation and make it feel a whole lot less scary.
Now, this doesn’t mean we can just snap our fingers and stop feeling stressed. Changing the way we think is a bit like learning to ride a bike; it takes time and a whole lot of practice. But every time we choose to focus on something positive instead of something stressful, we get a little better at it.
Of course, there is a lot more we can do to reduce our stress and anxiety, which is something that specialize in helping people with. So, if stress and anxiety is a problem for you, we should chat.
