Quotes by Lauren Cook (?)

“Your anxiety is making you selfish. Your anxiety is making you obsess about what people thought of your outfit last night and whether the joke you told was funny. It stopped you from seeing that your friend was hinting that she’s having a hard time at work or that she’s struggling to conceive. You were too preoccupied to notice. You forgot to even ask how she’s doing.”
― Lauren Cook, Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide to Staying Afloat in an Uncertain World

“Engaging in a gratitude practice on a regular basis is restorative to our souls, especially to those of us who have experienced trauma. We know that gratitude helps us physically by lowering our blood pressure and improving our immune function, and it helps us emotionally by warding off depression and anxiety while improving our overall sense of well-being.65 And because our brains are hardwired to skew negative, we have to fight that much harder for what is going well in our lives.”

Lauren’s Quotes

“ The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”
