31 Best Stress Quotes That'll Help You Calm Down And Relax

Stress

Stress is very common and rampant in our day-to-day lives. If something is not stressing you, something else will. It could be a relationship, job, parents, kids, goals, etc.

Stress comes about when we are unable to attain certain goals, face big changes, worry a lot about something, don't have much control over something, are overwhelmed by situations, have relationship issues, financial issues, etc.

Life has a lot going on at the same time. Some things will move smoothly while others choose to move South which makes us frustrated and stressed. But the best thing is that we can deal with stress better if we know how to handle it.

Stress is inevitable, but our greatest weapon against it is the ability to choose one thought over another. Instead of focusing on that stressful thought when it comes up, we can choose other thoughts that distract and occupy us.

You can think of the things that are going well or take that time to come up with solutions. Let your stress become a** powerful driving force instead of an obstacle** in your life. Make things better based on what is stressing you.

Sometimes what is stressing you is usually beyond your control. If you cannot control what is giving you sleepless nights, then there's no point in it stressing you in the first place.

The simple fact that it's beyond your control is enough to show you that you should not be stressing over it. Instead, choose to focus on positive activities that keep you positive.

Do things you enjoy, spend time with people you love, and go to places that uplift you. Worrying never made anything better. It's not stress that harms us, it's our reaction to it. Our collection of stress quotes will help you react better to your stress. Read along.

Sometimes I’ll lie awake at night and listen to the sound of the clock. The motor ticks on endlessly. What an unsettling sound it is when you’ve yet to find peace - to find solace. Sometimes no matter how exhausted my body is, no matter how tired my thoughts are, no matter how sore my brain and my heart are...even then I still can’t fall asleep. Sometimes I wish for nothing more than to sleep. Please, allow me to slip away into the darkest corners of the world and let me be. Just let me sleep. You can close your eyes to the surroundings, but you can’t close your ears off to the sound around it. And sometimes the things you wish the most not to hear - are the loudest. They will not go away in the night and be silenced.
