Wondering if anyone has any quotes that we can relate back to anxiety?

[Martin Burridge]

Heres one

The philosophy of Epictetus, who wrote: "Men are disturbed not by things that happen but by their opinions of things that happen”


Epictetus may have lived almost 2000 years ago but his quote has more meaning today than ever.


Two people can have the same experience. It will have little effect on the one and serious effect on the other. Its all about how we perceive our experiences. By focusing on the negative and making catastrophic interpretations of events we can create anxiety.


The tendency to do this may be partly genetic, partly conditioning but the good news is that it is possible with practice and guidance to change the way we interpret events

"Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination".

Christian Nevell Bovee
