“Meditation is just being delighted in your own presence... where you are not doing anything. The moment doing enters, you become tense; anxiety enters immediately. How to do? What to do? How to succeed? How not to fail? You have already moved into the future.” MomentsMeditationFailingSucceedAnxietyMovedWhere You AreJust BeingTenseDelighted Author:Rajneesh
“Status Anxiety: A worry, so pernicious as to be capable of ruining extended stretches of our lives, that we are in danger of failing to conform to the ideals of success laid down by our society and that we may as a result be stripped of dignity and respect; a worry that we are currently occupying too modest a rung or are about to fall to a lower one.” MayHappinessSuccessFallResultsWorryOur LivesFailingDangerAnxietyCapableIdealsDignityOur SocietyModestConformPerniciousDignity And Respect Author:Alain de Botton
“The good enough mother, owing to her deep empathy with her infant, reflects in her face his feelings; this is why he sees himselfin her face as if in a mirror and finds himself as he sees himself in her. The not good enough mother fails to reflect the infant's feelings in her face because she is too preoccupied with her own concerns, such as her worries over whether she is doing right by her child, her anxiety that she might fail him.” IfsChildrenEnoughFeelingsMightFacesMotherWorryFailingAnxietyEmpathyConcernMirrorsGood EnoughInfantNot Good EnoughOwingDoing Right Author:Bruno Bettelheim
“I discovered several never-failing signs by which one might know when a man wished to take another wife. He would suddenly 'awaken to a sense of his duties'; he would have serious misgiving as to whether the Lord would pardon his neglect in not living up to his privileges; he would become very religious, and would attend to his meetings ... which seemed just then to be very numerous, and in various other ways he would show his anxiety to live up to his religion.” KnowsMenWayShowsMightReligiousLordWifeFailingSeriousDutyAnxietyMeetingsPrivilegeVariousNeglectPardonMisgivings Author:T.

“Sovereignty is the term the Bible uses to describe God's perfect control and management of the universe. He preserves and governs every element. He's continually involved with all created things, directing them to act in a way that fulfills his divine purpose. That's why the most stressed-out people are control freaks. They fail at the quest they most pursue. The more they try to control the world, the more they realize they cannot. Life becomes a cycle of anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure. We can't take control, because control is not ours to take.” PeopleWorldTryingPurposeUniverseTermRealizingPerfectFailingDivineAnxietyManagementFreakSovereigntyControl Freak Author:Max Lucado

“Because the demands on the goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie the biggest enemy is himself. Not a puck, not a opponent, not a quirk of size or style. The stress and anxiety he feels when he plays, the fear of failing, the fear of being embarrassed, the fear of being physically hurt, all symptoms of his position, in constant ebb and flow, but never disappearing. The successful goalie understands these neuroses, accept them, and put them under control. The unsuccessful goalie is distracted by them, his mind in knots. His body quickly follows.” FeelsMindMeanPlayBodyHurtAcceptingEnemySuccessfulFailingStylePositionDemandAnxietyFlowStressConstantSizeDisappearOpponentsHockeyEmbarrassedSymptomsDistractedKnotsNeurosisUnsuccessfulPuckQuirksEbb And FlowFear Of FailingGoaliesStress And Anxiety Author:Ken Dryden
“The result of observing only the universe is anxiety. Only observing the Observer of the universe will put a stop to a man's worrying and fussing and scheming. When his interest is diverted inwards he naturally relaxes his hold - his stranglehold - on the outer world. Having withdrawn his capital and paid it into his own Central Bank (where it appreciates to infinity), he has nothing to lose out there and no reason for interfering. He knows how to let things be and work out in their own time. He's in no hurry. Knowing the Self, he can hardly fail to trust its products.” KnowsMenWorldSelfReasonUniverseInterestLosesResultsWorryKnow HowKnowingFailingProductsAnxietyAppreciatePaidWork OutRelaxNo ReasonInfinityInterfereObserversObservingNothing To LoseCentral BanksOuter WorldsFussing Author:Douglas Harding
