Life Changing Sentences That’ll Flip Your Mood and Sooth the Soul

I found the following statement on Twitter. @Sinclair_Ceasar had gone to his therapist and this was the advise he shared that resonated hard with me.

My therapist taught me to interrupt my anxious thinking with thoughts like: "What if things work out" and "What if all my handwork pays off?"

He then ended his tweet with, "I'm passing that onto you wherever you are, whatever you're leaving or whomever you are becoming.

Since the moment I read that I have worked on catching myself and it truly is a really helpful statement.
