With the exception of unusual circumstances, two people can have completely opposite reactions to the same experience, depending on the story they tell themselves. If you regularly find yourself reflecting about how something is bad or unfortunate, remember this one vital point: you created the feeling you’re experiencing by the story you’re telling yourself. If you want to feel better,
Change your story.

When you’re compelled to do anything by an unconscious need to feel worthy, you’re driven. You can identify this compulsion when you notice you’re working too hard. Get in the driver’s seat by looking those impulses squarely in the eyes and remembering, there’s nothing to prove.
Relax and just drive.

The illusion that you have total control over your life inevitably results in suffering. It’s impossible to make everyone and everything conform to your preferences. Relax and appreciate whatever shows up: grateful it’s the way you like it or grateful that it’ll soon change. There’s only one thing you can control for sure.
Your interpretation.

When you’re nervous, you have butterflies in your stomach. When you’re anxious or fearful, your blood pressure can rise. When you’re stressed out, your immune system is taxed. When you’re grateful, you’re relaxed and at ease. All these conditions start with your thinking. That’s really good news because you’re in charge of that.
Right?
Merci
