Evan Rachel Wood Quotes

The minute I feel nervousness or anxiety or fear, I go, 'No, no, that's not a thought that I need to have right now. Everything's great, everything's good, you're going to be fine'.

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

Just relax. When I was younger, I made myself the victim of catastrophic thinking. Anything that went wrong was the end of the world. But as I've gotten older, I've learned to stop myself and say, 'Hey babe, calm down. Tomorrow there will be sun.'

Just because we're in a STRESSFUL situation doesn't mean that we have to get stressed out. You may be in the storm. The key is, don't let the storm get in YOU.

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

Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.

I just refuse to worry or get upset or be fearful. It doesn't do one particle of good.

In my job, I worry a lot and try and stay calm and open. It sometimes works.

I think I'm lucky in that I can park things. I don't dwell. I've got a selective memory. I only remember the good things. I don't know what a psychologist or a psychiatrist would say about that.

Every time I'm feeling anxious, I go to my little meditation corner in my room and write down whatever I'm feeling. If I'm feeling terrible, I write that I'm feeling terrible and I accept that and I keep going, but I'm not going to wallow in that moment.

I don't have a radio or TV going all the time. It's very important to have awareness, to know when you tense up and then to stop that.

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

I'm really lucky that I can control my nerves; it doesn't seem to get to me.

I don't really let the pressure get to me.

Real optimism is not the pep talk you give yourself. It is earned through the labor involved in emotional housekeeping.

Let pressure pass over and through you. That way you can't be harmed by it.

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.

Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole; do not assemble in your mind the many and varied troubles which have come to you in the past and will come again in the future, but ask yourself with regard to every present difficulty: 'What is there in this that is unbearable and beyond endurance?'

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

Make the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.

You can't control things by being nervous.

Do your best and then relax.
