Famous Sam Owen Quotes

“Either way, whether your anxiety is self-generated or externally-generated or both, your brain still needs to sound the alarm – and thank goodness it does! It’s essentially telling you: ‘Warning, something is sabotaging or might sabotage your goals, health, happiness and survival – find it, fix it!’ to which your mental response should be, ‘Gee, thanks, I’m on it!”

“Anxiety is just our brain’s way of trying to keep us alive and well; it is simply, and fortunately, one of our many in-built survival mechanisms. Just as we feel pain when we burn our skin which tells us to move away from the cause of the pain, we experience anxiety when the brain perceives a threat to our well-being and is telling us to prevent or extinguish the threat/danger.”

“Anxiety is our friend, not our enemy. Even when anxiety is severe and out of control, it’s still our friend because it’s telling us something seriously needs addressing in order for us to survive and thrive, even if that severe anxiety is a sign that our alerting system is unnecessarily working overtime or even ‘malfunctioning’ of sorts.”
