I love this poster, but I think the sentiment is wrong. Yes, we shouldn’t panic or catastrophize, but notice Pooh is paddling and Piglet is bailing.
The old British sentiment,
Keep calm and carry on
seems to be more appropriate. What do you think?

I ned this today thanks
I hope it helped.
I think that your observation in spot on!!!
Thanks. 🙂
Teamwork!
One of our meteorologist’s favorite sayings is, “Don’t panic. Just prepare.”
That’s a great saying!
But, I am so good at obsessing.
It takes practice not to.
You are totally on point. Yes, stay calm, carry on, but please don’t stop using the noodle. One CAN be calm and think at the same time::)
The truth is our brains don’t work if we’re in a panic mode. That’s why we need to practice calming techniques.
I think either is appropriate. I do like the saying on the poster though and I often remind myself to stay calm and not obsess.
I can see why the reminder not to obsess could be useful if “thinking” means our minds start racing and worrying.
love the poster, love Pooh and his friends and in the south, we say Stay Calm and Carry on… the saying is a good one and in the past I was pretty good at doing just that, it seems AGE has wrecked the stay calm part and enhanced the obsess part
That sucks! A lot of people worry less as they get older.
I like both sayings…
The picture is great, very soothing.
By Jove you are right … what? Keep calm and carry on. Take you umbrella with you!
God bless.
We should be so lucky down here in the American Southwest. 😀
That’s a good case of whatever works!
It’s a great reminder not to waste our precious energy and brain power. 🙂
That’s true about the photo and the bailing of the water. How can you not obsess over that?
