A collection of stress relief quotes to encourage and inspire.
Stress can wear us down. There are many different things that
cause stress in our lives.
Some stress can be good for us, short term stress we can handle,
but ongoing draining stress can have a
very negative impact on our lives, on our health, and on those around us.
At times, we all need
help in dealing with the stressors we are facing.
We hope the short quotes provide words for reflection. You may also be encouraged by our collection
of poems about stress.
You create you own stress when you procrastinate. Relief comes when you stop procrastinating.

Poems About Life
Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged,
it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
Arthur Somers Roche
Poems of Encouragement
I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy.
From the very core of our being, we desire contentment.
In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others,
the greater is our own sense of well-being.
Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.
It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with
any obstacles we encounter.
It is the principal source of success in life.
Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone.
The key is to develop inner peace.
Dalai Lama
Inspirational Poems

Poems About Worry
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Motivational Poems
Problems exist so that you can show your strength in overcoming them.

Poems About Fear
We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden
appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry
yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of
the morrow before we are required to bear it.
