Andrew Flintoff Quotes

You have to deal with your emotions and not spike too much on the graph - not get too elated with the highs or too down with the lows.

I don't think I get that upset over things.

Dear friend, I feel great! I really mean it. I have to remember his for the next time I'm having a terrible week. Have you wer done that? You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don't know why. I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again. It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try.

If you're intuitive and you have a desire for people to be happy and you want equilibrium and you want life to be good, then you'll worry. But we need to embrace the idea that, "No, I'm putting that aside, over there, in a box. I'll open that box when I wake up in the morning and deal with it then." I really find that men tend to do that, and it's great to be able to do.

I learned from my parents to do my best to not react to negative emotions. I try to think about what has happened and find the lessons that can be learned from these difficult experiences.

Emotions are like waves. Watch them disappear in the distance on the vast calm ocean.

What I work hardest at is just trying to not let things get me crazy.

Most people are too fretful, they worry to much. Success means being very patient, but aggressive when it's time.

Not worrying is a skill. It's a skill not breaking down every single moment.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

I'm not always really calm, but I try not to get taken away by things that are incredibly transitory.

Although anxiety is part of life, never let it control you.

The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger - the greatest threat to our inner peace, and therefore our happiness. The mind, or spirit, is not physical, it cannot be touched or harmed directly. Only negative thoughts and emotions can harm it. Therefore, only the corresponding positive quality can protect it.

If you just remember to breathe and smile before you act, you’ll always make the right decision.
