Focus on Things Under Your Control Quote: Fear and anxiety comes from lots of places, including fatigue, misinformation, and the endless blathering on of talking heads on the television. If you start feeling your anxiety level increase because of things you have no ability to influence, step back and reconsider how you are spending your time. Go for walk around the block and enjoy a nice October afternoon. Take your best friend out to lunch at a restaurant you’ve never been too. Get a good night’s sleep. Take a deep breath and – as my dad once told me, focus on things under your control. (categories: focuslife )
