“... what the artist or creative scientist feels is not anxiety or fear; it is joy. I use the word in contrast to happiness or pleasure. The artist, at the moment of creating, does not experience gratification or satisfaction... Rather, it is joy, joy defined as the emotion that goes with heightened consciousness, the mood that accompanies the experience of actualizing one's own potentialities.” FeelsDoeMomentsUseJoyArtistPleasureEmotionConsciousnessCreativityCreativeAnxietyCreatingScientistSatisfactionMoodDefinedContrastGratificationAccompany Book:The Courage to Create Source: The Courage to Create
“What nonsense it is, this desire to be without limitations, this wish always to be seen in the most flattering light. We are anxious, not because we think so little of ourselves, but because we think so much of ourselves. We are anxious, not that we may appear in the worst light, but that we may not appear in the best light. Anxiety is born of self-consciousness, and it is alleviated to the exact extent that we can drop consciousness of the self.” ThinkingMayLittlesSelfLightDesireWishBornConsciousnessWorstAnxietyLimitationNonsenseAnxiousFlatteringSelf Consciousness Book:Advice from a Failure Source: Advice from a Failure

“And yet, within her anxiety, secured there like a gemstone, she carries the cool and curious power of occasionally being able to see the world vividly. Clarity bursts upon her a spray of little stars. She understands this, and thinks of it as one of the tricks of consciousness; there is something almost luxurious about it.. The narrative maze opens and permits her to pass through. She may be crowded out of her own life - she knows this for a fact and has always know it - but she possesses, as a compensatory gift, the startling ability to draft alternative versions.” ThinkingKnowsWorldMayLittlesFactsAbleStarsAbilityConsciousnessAnxietyTricksVersionsClarityCuriousAlternativesNarrativeCarriePermitCrowdedSpraySecuredMazesLuxurious Author:Carol Shields

“Ultimately, there is no such thing as "my consciousness," but just the one consciousness and to sense your connectedness with the one (I can sense that continuously, which is why I can say that I know this for sure) to sense that connectedness with the one consciousness that pervades the universe, which in some traditions is called God, to sense that frees you of fear, from anxiety, and takes you to a very deep place of peace, but also of heightened aliveness.” KnowsI CanUniverseConsciousnessAnxietyTraditionVery DeepConnectednessPlaces Of Peace Author:Eckhart Tolle
“Many people become self-conscious when they communicate. Whether it's writing or speaking, they are consumed by anxiety. Self-consciousness is an impediment to what is required to serve an audience effectively. One's goal must be to achieve audience consciousness. To put oneself in their place, to recognize that the value of any communication arises from how it is received by them, not by what it means to the author. Rather than learning a multiplicity of rules for speaking, for example, I would suggest that a focus on serving one's audience will simplify and clarify everything.” PeopleWritingMeanValuesGoalConsciousnessAudienceFocusAchieveCommunicationAnxietyOneselfCommunicateSimplifyMultiplicity Author:James M Strock
