“It’s not the stress that kill us, it’s our reaction to it”
~Hans Selye

“If we lack emotional intelligence whenever stress rises the human brain switches to auto pilot and has an inherent tendency to do more of the same, only harder. This, more often than not, is precisely the wrong approach in today’s world”

“Neutral is the state where you are not jumping ahead too quickly or moving too slowly. Neutral does not mean being inactive, complacent or passive. It’s about a calm poise that allows for new information and new possibilities to emerge before taking further action. When in neutral, you actually increase your sensitivity and intelligence. Neutral is fertile ground from which possibilities can grow”
~Doc Childre

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched...but are felt in the heart”
~Helen Keller

“Positive emotions can have effects beyond making people ‘feel good’ or improving their subjective experiences of life. They also have the potential to broaden people’s habitual modes of thinking and build their physical, intellectual, and social resources. These processes can help people overcome current stresses faster and make them more resilient to future adversities”
~Barbara L. Fredrickson

“The future will generate even more ambiguity and chaos than we face today. Learning how to raise our individual and collective resilience is not just a good idea- it is imperative”

“Keep a good heart. That’s’ the most important thing in life. Its not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart”
~Joni Mitchell

“The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it”
~Charles Swindoll

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom”
