“The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment.”

—

Eckhart Tolle

in pain? hurting?

upset? irritated? frustrated?

worse?

you’re not accepting reality

in some way, in some place

detach from outcomes

release the negative judgment

of where you are

if you could be anywhere else

if you could have made better choices

you would have

focus on all you have

to appreciate and be thankful for

discover contentment and its companion

natural happiness

and out of acceptance

of now

of your present reality

and how you got there

see yourself

see your choices

see your mindset

see your cognitive distortions

the filters over your perceptions

that distort

all you see

magnifying and disqualifying

release your attachments

the places you’ve tied

your happiness to specific outcomes

and just peacefully work with reality

stack the deck for the future

you want to live in

it starts and ends

with owning yourself

your feelings, your experience

no one makes you mad

no one makes you happy

your thoughts lead to your feelings

conscious, acknowledged, or not

change your thinking and

you change your feelings

let your feelings tell you

there’s something to accept

something to understand

something to respond to

rationally, effectively

don’t get in them

don’t chase the rabbits

find the attachment

and sever it, let it go

perfectquote:

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.”

— Andrew Carnegie

accept who people are

who their actions

reveal them to be

without judgment

or expectation

or attachment

to them being more

or already being

further along

their own path of growth

contentment

and non-attachment

in the present

start with a mindset

of thankfulness, gratitude, appreciation

be thankful

there are thorn bushes

that grow roses

instead of complaining

that roses have thorns

quotefeeling:

“You will never be who you want to be, until you are happy with who you are.”

— Thomas F. Shubnell (via perfectquote)

accept reality

who you are now

where you are now, on your path

without attachment

to false self-image

if you ever want to grow

thoughtkick:

“When you protect yourself from pain, be sure you do not protect yourself from love.”

— Alan Cohen

vulnerability requires

immense strength

because you must

lower your walls

and accept reality

without attachment

to anyone’s

approval or acceptance

validation or continued

presence in your life

no. caring isn’t the issue.

the more attached you are,

the more you are increasing

your inevitable suffering

enjoy

this moment

all that it brings

without attachment

to it continuing

“Self care is not selfish or self indulgent. We cannot nurture others from a dry well. We need to take care of our own needs first, then we can give from our surplus, our abundance.”

— Jennifer Loudon
