Wayne Dyer Quotes

There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts.

Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.

Look closer at the stress in your own life and you can identify that negative emotions are always built on counterfactual statements.

Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

The less you think counterfactually, the less you experience stress. Stress, in this light, isn't a bad thing. It's simply a warning system telling you that your mind has lost touch with what's real.

The key to happiness. Hm.... There are just so many factors. I think it's just a way of being. It's about.... every little thing in moderation. Whether it be stress, anger, joy, depression.

Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.

Stress is a byproduct of subconscious beliefs you have about the world. You can't choose not to believe something. You believe it because you think it's true. To eliminate stress, you must learn to challenge these beliefs so that you see them differently.

It's time we learned the truth about stress. It's time we identified the thoughts that actually create our stress and learned to dismantle them one by one.

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.

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

The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.

It's time we learned the truth about stress. It's time we identified the thoughts that actually create our stress and learned to dismantle them one by one.

What's taking place during stress is actually much simpler than a transaction between stressful life events and you. There aren't two parties involved in stress. There is only one - your own mind.

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.

I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it's your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can't package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.

So your emotional state really has a lot to do with what you're thinking about and what you're paying attention to.

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.

Every day there's a lot of things I block out, because if I start visualising things, I tend to go completely insane. I've always had anxiety issues, and it can totally overwhelm me and suck me under if I'm not keeping focused. I just think and think until I have a panic attack, and then it dies down.

You might think that shifting your thoughts is as easy as setting your mind to it. But stressful thoughts aren't held in place through choice or will power. They're held in place through perceived truth value.

I'm not a sad person, upset the whole time, but I seem to be quite emotional.

I'm much calmer as I get older, but I'm still just as capable of getting that strung-out stressed-out feeling of mental and spiritual unwellness.

Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
