“After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.”

Lady Gaga decided to pay homage to Judy Garland, who made the 1954 A Star Is Born version. ❤

Ron: How long do you think she’ll stay mad at me? Harry: Just keep talking about that little ball of light touching your heart, and she’ll come ‘round.

Tips to Help you Stop Worrying

1. Remind yourself that worrying doesn’t stop things happening. Things will happen – or not happen –anyway. 2. Recognise that “What ifs” don’t usually help with problem solving. It’s better to use logic, and brain storm for solutions. Take control of your emotions by using rational thinking. 3. Motivate yourself by something other than worrying. Take a break and do something fun, and then go back to your work again. That positive approach will reap more benefits. 4. Face your fears – and do the things that you worry about. The thought is often much worse than the actual thing you fear. 5. Ask yourself “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” Then, “What are the chances that it will happen? Then “Will you survive it, if it happens, in the end?” Usually, that helps to move us from an extreme and irrational way of thinking to a more realistic, and reasonable way if thinking. 6. Teach yourself a range of relaxation strategies – and then concentrate on them instead of on your different fears. Or, adopt a mindful approach – and keep your focus on “right now”.

I will not be a woman who • is bitter • is resentful • is defeated • is hardened • is controlled by emotion • barely made it

I will be a woman who • grew wiser • was refined in the flames • persevered with joy • still loves • still forgives • made the most of every opportunity.
