When you feel the overwhelm coming on, stop what you are doing and immediately go get a Klondike bar! I guarantee you'll feel better!

"Nobody is keeping score..." Wow. I think so much of our anxiety (mine anyway) comes from the assumption that everybody else has a little score card for our performance at life, and I always figure mine says "flunked" 😂

Yes! And if you really think about this, we think it because we are focused on ourselves. Everyone else is thinking about their own stuff, not us.

That's so true! Musette Sexton always told the teenage girls not to be so self-conscious, because chances were that nobody even noticed when they came into the room. It's liberating when you realize that.

Yes! I knew someone used to say that but couldn’t remember who. Muzette was so wise!

This is why I give myself permission to say “you would do a much better job on this list than me, with a lot less stress” and leave it to the hubs. Sometimes it’s good to challenge myself and other times I just don’t have to.
