Compassionate Alarm Clocks by Byron Katie
"It is easy to be swept away by some overwhelming feeling, so it's helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says, "You're caught in the dream."" ~ Byron Katie from Loving What Is
That's a brilliant statement. Too often we let our stressful feelings get us MORE stressed.
Why not look at a stressful feeling as an alarm clock—a very compassionate alarm clock that's nudging us to wake up to a new reality? A reality grounded in truth.
I like that.

Wake up! :)
"The pain shows you what's left to investigate." ~ Byron Katie from Loving What Is
