Quotes to ponder:

"An anxious heart equals an anxious mind."

"Labeling your anxiety as 'anxiety' is honest and helpful initially. However, once you know what it is, consider calling your anxiety by another name that has less heaviness and upset to it."

"Instead of trying to change it, let your anxiety be. The act of trying to push against what is, is what leads to more of it because what you resist persists."
