Andrew J. Bernstein Quotes

The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn't been able to keep up.

~ Andrew J. Bernstein

The more you worry, the more you throw off the delicate balance of hormones required for health.

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 J. Bernstein

Find the beliefs that are strangling your feelings, challenge them for your sake as well as theirs, and see how it feels to love someone without a thought about the future, simply for who they are today.

~ Andrew J. Bernstein
