“To obsess too virulently is to walk alone in anxiety. But to obsess too little is to wall oneself off from one's own creativity.” LittlesWalksCreativityWallAnxietyOneselfObsession Book:Affirmations for Artists Source: Affirmations for Artists
“The gospel is a thing of joy. It provides us with a reason for gladness. Of course there are times of sorrow. Of course there are hours of concern and anxiety. We all worry. But the Lord has told us to lift our hearts and rejoice. I see so many people...who seem never to see the sunshine, but who constantly walk with storms under cloudy skies. Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.” PeopleHeartReasonSeemsJoySpiritCoursesHoursWalksAttitudeLordWorrySkyDivineSorrowGoodnessAnxietyConcernOptimismStormLiftsSunshineRejoiceTestimonyGladnessNature BeautyCloudyThose You LoveCloudy Skies Author:Gordon B.

“A family's responses to crisis or to a new situation mirror those of a child. That is to say, the way a small child deals with a new challenge (for instance, learning to walk) has certain predictable stages: regression, anxiety, mastery, new energy, growth, and feedback for future achievement. These stages can also be seen in adults coping with new life events, whether positive or negative.” WayChildrenCertainEnergyGrowthChallengesWalksDealsSituationStageEventsAchievementAnxietyAdultsNegativeMirrorsCrisisResponseInstanceMasteryNew LifeFeedbackPredictableCopingSmall ChildNew ChallengesRegressionNew SituationsNew Energy Author:T.

“The Lord is my peace. I shall not live in anxiety. He puts me under His wing of comfort and calms my spirit within me. He takes all my anxieties on Himself and helps me to focus on Him. Yes, though I walk through a time of grave uncertainties and fierce anxieties, I will not fret - for You are my peace. Your Word and Your presence calm me now. You hold my uncertainties in the palm of Your hand. You soothe my anxious mind - You smooth my wrinkled brow. Surely serenity and trust in You shall fill me all the days of my life. And I shall keep my mind stayed on You forever.” MindHelpingHandsSpiritWalksLordForeverFocusComfortAnxietyWingsCalmGravesUncertaintyHelp MeAnxiousFierceSerenitySmoothPalmsBrowsYour Presence Book:My Journey to Contentment: A Companion Journal for Calm My Anxious Heart Source: My Journey to Contentment: A Companion Journal for Calm My Anxious Heart
