• In Re-framing, you interpret the event in a positive way. You change your language . Instead if defining it as a problem you re-frame it as a situation . A problem is something that is upsetting and stressful. A situation is something that you simply deal with .

• Nowadays, people resort to all kinds of activities in order to calm themselves after a stressful event: performing yoga poses in a sauna, leaping off bridges while tied to a bungee, killing imaginary zombies with imaginary weapons, and so forth. But in Miss Penelope Lumley's day, it was universally understood that there is nothing like a nice cup of tea to settle one's nerves in the aftermath of an adventure- a practice many would find well worth reviving.

• The thing is, my appearance – that’s never been my moneymaker. I’m fine being small. I’m fine being all the things I am. And I’m happy I’m not supposed to be on the 50 Most Beautiful list all the time, because that would be super f**king stressful.

• Any kind of creative activity is likely to be stressful. The more anxiety, the more you feel that you are headed in the right direction. Easiness, relaxation, comfort - these are not conditions that usually accompany serious work.

• Animals have come to mean so much in
  our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly,
  religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate.
  What's one thing that we have in our lives
  that we can depend on? A dog or a cat
  loving us unconditionally , every day, very
  faithfully.

• I definitely use "smiling while rapping" as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording. At times it can get tedious and stressful when it's not sounding the way you heard it in your head, but you've got to remember to just smile and appreciate the fact that you're even in the booth and there are people who want to hear your art.

• Jobs and money are never the primary cause of stress.
  Thinking, negative thinking causes stress.
  The real cause of all problems lie in our thoughts, not in things or circumstances.
  You and I possess the power to change our thoughts.
  It is our greatest power - the power to choose.
  If you are feeling stressful, choose to relax.
  Look at your problems as a stranger might then do something about them - NOW!

• Hurt feelings or discomfort of any kind cannot be cause by another person. No one outside me can hurt me. That’s not a possibility. It’s only when I believe a stressful thought that I get hurt. And I’m the one who’s hurting me by believing what I think. This is very good news, because it means that I don’t have to get someone else to stop hurting me. I’m the one who can stop hurting me. It’s within my power.

• The truth is that Ron is my hero. He's always there for his friends - sometimes belligerently, but there nevertheless. He's also the comic relief in stressful situations; the funny guy with a great one-liner. And no matter how scared he may be, he will put aside his fears to support and protect the people he loves. To me, that represents true courage.

• So, how do you get back to heaven?
  To begin with, just notice the thoughts that take you away from it.
  You don't have to believe everything your thoughts tell you.
  Just become familiar with the particular thoughts you use
  to deprive yourself of happiness.
  It may seem strange at first to get to know yourself in this way,
  but becoming familiar with your stressful thoughts
  will show you the way home to everything you need.

• A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life. To begin with, the very word "risk" implies worry, and people who worry about every bite of food, sip of water, the air they breathe, the gym sessions they have missed, and the minutiae of vitamin doses are not sending positive signals to their cells. A stressful day sends constant negative messaging to the feedback loop and popping a vitamin pill or choosing whole wheat bread instead of white bread does close to zero to change that.
