quotemadness:
“You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts.”
— Philip Arnold

this is the task

this is the key challenge

this is life

or misery

this is the path

walk it

ruthlessly

relentlessly

unapologetically

observing, identifying

challenging, countering thoughts

as you see the distortions

make your mind

your servant

“There comes a day when you realise turning the page is the best feeling in the world, because you realise there’s so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.”

— Zayn Malik

let go of each moment

make room for the next

welcome the next

“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

bellisimabelinda:

focus on this moment

what you can actually do

right now

it’s the only chance you have

to make any difference

to change anything

that worries you

channel the worry

into changing this moment

into your own growth

“You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.”

don’t lose entire days

when you get derailed

master the moment

master picking yourself

back up, quickly, gently,

kindly, compassionately

when you stumble, struggle, or fall

restart

at any time during the day

when you lose your center

reclaim the rest of your day

don’t wait til tomorrow

bellisimabelinda:

anxious anticipation

of potential futures

that may never come

cripples us in the present

thoughtkick:

“Dont cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

— Dr. Seuss (via perfectquote)

let go of this moment

so the next moment

can be experienced

savored, appreciated

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
