“We make ourselves miserable, but it's often very hard to see that.” [3:54]

“We can't prevent or control what somebody is going to say to us.” [6:48]

“What I can do at that moment is to choose how I'm going to react. I can plan beforehand. In other words, it's called stress inoculation.” [8:36]

“Because the truth is that nobody can make you feel a certain way. A situation can't make you feel bad.” [13:18]

“You can make that choice to say, I, my power is in my control, I'm in control of my thoughts.” [17:34]

“There's this huge Mind-Body connection. Thoughts are then producing a physiological response.” [28:33]

“It is just like a bad habit, and you can get out of those habits.” [31:26]
