Quote of the Day: Thich Nhat Hanh

by Dec 11, 2017

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

When it feels like everything around you is going wrong, it’s important to pause, breathe, and put things into perspective. Fear and anxiety can prevent us from doing this, which just causes more stress. When you experience this, remember to take a moment and put everything in to perspective. Clear your mind, take a breath, and you’ll be much more capable of thinking of an action plan.
