Let yourself notice how much you have lost out on in life by avoiding what scares you. Let yourself notice how much you are going to gain by facing your fears and living your values. It can begin now. Let it begin.

Don’t assume there is something wrong with you for having tons of thoughts. The mind is a very busy place.

“Life is unpredictable and things may go wrong; all we can do is accept that, try to fix things if we can, but understand that even if we can’t, we still deserve forgiveness – and the place to start is with forgiving ourselves.” ~ Unknown

Make a list of people, places & things that help you relax and feel peaceful. How much time and energy do you dedicate to these people, places and things? Would you like to dedicate more? Do you need to shift time & energy from other people, places, or things in order to do so?

Interesting paper showing that:
1) Social isolation predicts psychological distress during COVID-19 (surprise?!)

Emotional agility means having any number of troubling thoughts or emotions and still managing to act in a way that serves how you most want to live.
The first step is seeing your emotions as data, not directives. What are they trying to tell you?

We have a lot of messages from society that tell us we should always think positively and always be happy. This just simply isn’t possible.
You feel what you feel, and you think what you think.

It is totally normal to have urges to avoid difficult or painful feelings as they arise. But every time we give in to these urges, we are reinforcing avoidance patterns (& they eventually become automatic) & giving more power to difficult feelings than they deserve.

A good relationship changes things. A good relationship with your mind changes everything. The power of contacting reality without a thick veil of thoughts distorting your view is awe-inspiring. May we fully realize our ableness to be, here, now!

We are born with a 24/8, always-on, threat detection system that will fire up at a moment's notice & take over our actions & lives. Mindfulness gives us space to notice the takeover. Self-compassion gives us the motivation, space & time to respond, with wisdom & strength.

Compassion is literally setting aside your biases, staying emotionally attuned to the present moment and allowing your heart to feel someone else’s perspective. It is a medicine that breaks down ego and defensiveness. It is an act of love that helps us see each other clearly.
