Twenty one sentences that will make you less anxious than 97% of people

Anxiety is becoming increasingly more common.

Why could this be?

Let’s take a look at some one-liners to help create some perspective and some relief:

• You are not your thoughts.
• Thinking you are your anxious thoughts deepens the experience of ‘anxiety.’
• It is not the environment or other people that are the causes of our stress and anxiety, but our thinking about those things.
• Anxiety is a low consciousness state.
• To enjoy higher consciousness, we need to let go of our mind-made illusions and expand our awareness in the present.
• You are not an ‘anxious’ person; you just experience anxious thoughts.
• Meditation can help lower anxiety because it trains the mind to view our thoughts as a third-party observer.
• The more we think critically about ourselves, the more anxiety we will feel.
• Panic describes a state where the volume of our thinking is high, which means to calm down, we must focus on our breath, not on our thoughts.
• A lot of stress is trapped in our hips, which is why hump-dancing like a chimp on speed can release much of this.
