People who are prone to guilt tend to work harder and perform better than people who are not guilt-prone, and are perceived to be more capable leaders Picture Quote #1

You’re not a bad person. But you sometimes do bad things. You know what that makes you? Human Picture Quote #1

Every time you feel depressed about something, try to identify a corresponding negative thought you had just prior to and during the depression. Because these thoughts have actually created your bad mood, by learning to restructure them, you can change your mood Picture Quote #1

Powerful new drug-free treatments have been developed for depression and for every conceivable type of anxiety, such as chronic worrying, shyness, public speaking anxiety, test anxiety, phobias, and panic attacks.

Kindness is the cause of all anxiety Picture Quote #1

If a hungry lion suddenly appeared, you’d be terrified. So terrified you’d probably run away. Great, fear’s doing its job. But you might get so afraid that you lock up and can’t move. This would be very bad. Guilt’s the same. It can prevent you from fixing the situation, make you feel so bad you can’t function at 100% and even lead to more guilt-provoking bad behavior Picture Quote #1

Perfectionism becomes a badge of honor with you playing the part of the suffering hero Picture Quote #1

When two people respect each other, the ability to be vulnerable and to reveal hurt feelings can create a powerful emotional connection that is the source of real intimacy and friendship Picture Quote #1

You feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you are thinking at this moment Picture Quote #1
