anxiety

I tried to push my body through his and completely disappear.

So much has been done to my body, and still, somehow, not enough.

The anxiety of the sexual act is my sexual act: a love story.

Your personal truth is your gift to the world.

Anxiety and depression, and the physical symptoms they cause, are merely distractions and smokescreens to __rotect_ you from dangers, which are usually, imaginary.

I'm going to tell you a secret:You don't have to believe every thought that pops into your head.

Remember that worrying will not go away by thinking the same thought again and again. Thinking something fresh, loving and uplifting instead of worrying. Replace your worse anxiety with cheerful optimism.

The Anxiety of Sunday afternoon: your unlived lives and infinite possibility pressing upon the constraints of reality.

In short, the man displayed a constant and insurmountable impulse to wrap himself in a covering, to make himself, so to speak, a case which would isolate him and protect him from external influences. Reality irritated him, frightened him, kept him in continual agitation, and, perhaps to justify his timidity, his aversion for the actual, he always praised the past and what had never existed; and even the classical languages which he taught were in reality for him goloshes and umbrellas in which he sheltered himself from real life.

When your past shows up to haunt you, make sure it comes after supper so it doesn't ruin your whole day.

Fear, anxiety, arousal, and pain; all are emotions and sensations. They are neither right, nor are they wrong; good nor bad. They are simply passions, a most important part of life. Feel them, fully experience them, surrender to them, and learn to accept them. As a submissive, you must let go. André Chevalier

I could watch him do this until morning _ never asking questions and never interrupting his work. I worship quietly _ his intense focus and attention to detail and then, out of no where, I realize the inconvenient, inappropriate truth: __ love this man_ and it has swallowed me.

If you don__ do what you love, you will never love what you do. And if you don__ love whatever you do, you are likely to be worried anytime a duty is assigned to you concerning that.

Vulnerability + Action + Positive Thinking = Courage

When you notice yourself desperately trying to think of an excuse to avoid a new experience out of FEAR, ANXIETY or INSECURITY, make the decision to say: "sure, I'll do it" , and see how your life improves.

They say, "Look before you leap." So look. But do not look for too long. Do not look into the void of uncertainty trying to predict each and every possible outcome, to evaluate every possible mistake, to prevent each possible failure. Look for the opportunity to leap, and leap faster than your fear can grab you. Leap before you talk yourself out of it, before you convince yourself to set up a temporary camp that turns into a permanent delay on your journey into your own heart.

The surest antidote for anxiety is to always do your best and have complete trust in God.

Sometimes the anxiety takes over and I can__ seem to fathom the love he gives me.
