More quotes by Andrew Bernstein
Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.
Andrew Bernstein
Stress is never a given. There are people who get divorced amicably. There are people who pack up and move with no emotional toll. There is no stressor 'out there' in the world. We experience stress - or we don't - depending on what we believe.
Andrew Bernstein
You can't tell yourself that your stress is produced in your head and feel better. You still need to learn how to create a change.
Andrew Bernstein
Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.
Andrew Bernstein
The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.
Andrew Bernstein
We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don't need stress to get there.
Andrew Bernstein
Negative thoughts stick around because we believe them, not because we want them or choose them.
Andrew Bernstein
Some people are so used to experiencing stress that they don't remember what life was like without it.
Andrew Bernstein
To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets 'out there' that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.
Andrew Bernstein
A hero holds purposes appropriate to man and is, therefore, a thinker.
Andrew Bernstein
Stress is not the spice of life any more than arsenic is. And without it, you won't feel bored.
Andrew Bernstein
People often say that stress is a motivator. What we're referring to when we say this is really better described as stimulation and engagement.
Andrew Bernstein
The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.
Andrew Bernstein
The hero is valorous because he stands up to every threat directed against his values. Heroism requires value conflict.
Andrew Bernstein
During the financial crisis, I worked with hundreds of executives who struggled as a result of their thoughts about job security. When their beliefs changed, so did their emotional experience - and they were then able to focus on the task at hand more effectively.
Andrew Bernstein
Stress is a byproduct of subconscious beliefs you have about the world. You can't choose not to believe something. You believe it because you think it's true. To eliminate stress, you must learn to challenge these beliefs so that you see them differently.
Andrew Bernstein
It's time we learned the truth about stress. It's time we identified the thoughts that actually create our stress and learned to dismantle them one by one.
Andrew Bernstein
If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.
Andrew Bernstein
The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health.
Andrew Bernstein
Look closer at the stress in your own life and you can identify that negative emotions are always built on counterfactual statements.
