Gabourey Sidibe Quotes

Success and failure are emotional and physiological experiences. We need to deal with them in a way that is present and calm.

Fortunately, I don't get that stressed. So I don't really need to relieve it.

I don't stay in the constant worried and over-thinking zone.

It is within your hands to be frustrated in life or not. Just your expectations should become smaller, smaller, smaller, and in the same proportion the frustration will become smaller. A day will come when there will be no expectation; then you will never come across any frustration.

The point is that petty, frustrating crap like this is exactly where the work of choosing comes in. Because the traffic jams and crowded aisles and long checkout lines give me time to think, and if I don't make a conscious decision about how to think and what to pay attention to, I'm going to be pissed and miserable every time I have to food-shop, because my natural default-setting is the certainty that situations like this are really all about me, about my hungriness and my fatigue and my desire to just get home.

Overcoming fear and worry can be accomplished by living a day at a time or even a moment at a time. Your worries will be cut down to.

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

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.

I like to think I'm calm. Sometimes I have arrived at the ground in the morning in a bad mood - you're not always going to be in the best of moods are you? - but by the time you get into the ground and you have a brew then it's normally fine.

I breathed and breathed and did feel some calmness enter in, though it was, as always, shot with a sense of loss. Loss and fear.

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. I try to deal with these negative emotions right away because, if they stay inside, they can hurt and do a lot of damage. I release them as soon as possible so I can be free.

If we can learn to deal with our discomfort and just relax into it we'll have a better life.

Do your best and then relax.

Whenever I start freaking out and getting stressed, I have to remember that this is just the beginning.

I pray. I try to find space to process with a walk on the beach, a hike in the hills. Nature is restorative. I also try not to overreact. I grew up in Ireland, and we are big tea drinkers, and I think it's less about the tea itself and more about the ritual and the moment to prepare.

Try to relax and enjoy the crisis.

I've learned that you simply can't control those bad vibes.

I used to get nervous so I took up Yoga to help me calm down.

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.

You can't tell yourself that your stress is produced in your head and feel better. You still need to learn how to create a change.

All mental hygiene is based on the core practice of doing nothing. Most of us are good at wasting time, staring at the wall while telling ourselves we should be working. We call this doing nothing, but our brains are furiously active. We think constantly, and our thinking is often rife with distress.

To be happy when you are travelling, you need to be happy inside before you leave. A positive frame of mind will definitely enhance your travelling experience. If I'm not in a positive frame of mind then the whole thing definitely becomes more of a challenge for me.

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

Occupying my mind with complex problems has been my best and most powerful and most reliable defense against my mental illness.
