When you have a lot of stress, it can be difficult to focus on the good things in life. It’s easy to get caught up in the negative things happening and forget that there is more to life than work and stress.
When you are stressed, you are not your best self. You do things that you regret. You say things that hurt people’s feelings. You make decisions based on the moment’s pressure instead of looking ahead.
Your stress is only one of your triggers. The next time you feel stressed, remember that it is a choice. You can let it go and move forward or give into those triggers and move backwards. No one can control the stresses of your life but you. The good news is that we are not our stressors, so don’t let anyone make you feel any different than you truly are; deep down inside, you know who you are!
These inspirational calming quotes for stress help you focus on the positive aspects of life again. Use them as an inspiration when you feel like nothing matters anymore or when you need some motivation to keep going.
