“It is not depression or anxiety that truly hurts us. It is our active resistance against these states of mind and body. If you wake up with low energy, hopeless thoughts, and a lack of motivation - that is a signal from you to you. That is a sure sign that something in your mind or in your life is making you sick, and you must attend to that signal. But what do most people do? They hate their depressed feelings. They think "Why me?" They push them down. They take a pill. And so, the feelings return again and again, knocking at your door with a message while you turn up all the noise in your cave, refusing to hear the knocks. Madness. Open the door. Invite in depression. Invite anxiety. Invite self-hatred. Invite shame. Hear their message. Give them a hug. Accept their tirades as exaggerated mistruths typical of any upset person. Love your darkness and you shall know your light.”

“If we want to understand people and relate to them, we must be self-aware and have self-compassion. Self-love may be a source of division but can become a key to sympathy, bridging gaps, and fostering connection instead of partition. ("Being my best friend")”

“Who will you love if not yourself? Other people? How can you love someone for anything but their raw, naked humanity? How can you say you love someone if it is not for their flaws and quirks, snorts and hurts, triggers and tears? Anything else is not love. It is idealization. And, as long as you do it to yourself, you will do it to everyone. You will not love anyone or anything until those eyes in the mirror soften up and embrace the beauty that is already within.”

“For example, you may think of yourself as a shy person, lazy, angry, and so on. Then ask yourself the following questions: How often do you display this trait—most of the time, sometimes, only occasionally? Who are you when you don’t display the trait? Are you still you? Are there particular circumstances that seem to draw out the trait, and others in which the trait is not apparent? What are the various causes and conditions that led to having the trait in the first place (early family experiences, genetics, life pressures, etc.)? : If these “outsideâ€� forces were partly responsible for you having this trait, is it accurate to think of the trait as reflecting the inner you? Did you choose to have this trait, and do you have much choice about whether or not you display this trait? If not, why are you judging yourself for this trait?”

“Without warning, all the tears I’ve been holding back are pouring out of me, hot and fast . . .

The strings that bound it are fraying and snapping, and it’s all spilling out.”

“Do you know the difference between healthy self-doubt and imposter syndrome? Compare this: a GPS recalculating your route—calm, collected, and ready to guide you back on track. Now, contrast that with your Inner Chaotic Passenger who’s simultaneously giving you wrong directions, insisting that you got your license from a garage sale, and yelling that you’re trying to scam them. Whatever happens—they’re definitely giving you one star and writing a detailed complaint about it.”

“If I were to be totally sincere
In every desperate attempt to save the world,
I forget that there are nights I can't even save myself.

as if I'm the least deserving of my own compassion.
And maybe I am.”

“To judge someone is to miss the divinity in that person, to think of them as less than who they really are. To judge is simply to project our own limitations onto another. When we feel compassion for our own limitations, for our own humanity, we never judge others. When we are conscious of our own greatness, we see the greatness of others.”
