Power Thoughts: Be Here Now, Always

“Replace fear of your own inner experience, with a curious, gentle, welcoming attitude—free of judgment, self-blame, and aversion.”

—Melanie Greenberg

“Mindfulness shows us what is happening in our bodies, our emotions, our minds, and in the world. Through mindfulness, we avoid harming ourselves and others.”

—Thích Nhất Hạnh

“Mindful self-compassion can be learned by anyone. It’s the practice of repeatedly evoking good will toward ourselves, especially when we’re suffering—cultivating the same desire that all living beings have to live happily and free from suffering.”

—Christopher Germer

“Mindfulness: Taking a balanced approach to negative emotions, so that feelings are neither suppressed nor exaggerated. We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time. Mindfulness requires that we not ‘over-identify’ with thoughts and feelings, so that we are caught up and swept away by negativity.”

—Brené Brown

“It’s not that God, the environment, and other people cannot help us to be happy or find satisfaction. It’s just that our happiness, satisfaction, and our understanding, even of God, will be no deeper than our capacity to know ourselves inwardly, to encounter the world from the deep comfort that comes from being at home in one’s own skin, from an intimate familiarity with the ways of one’s own mind and body.”

—Jon Kabat-Zinn
