About This Quote

When you are feeling angry or stressed, your brain is in fight-or-flight mode. You are in this state of being because you are stressed out about an issue that is bothering you. As you go on with your life, the anger and stress can build up. What does this do? It adds up to a lot of mental clutter.

If your brain is in this state of being, it will take you longer to solve the problem or the situation. This will build up more stress, causing more problems. The solution is to make sure that your brain gets out of this state by concentrating on the positive emotions of joy, peace and calmness.

When you bring these positives into your life, this will allow you to solve the issue or situation faster.
