Цитаты из книг — Брианна Уист

Счастье — это отказ жить по напряженному расписанию и выжимать всё возможное из каждой свободной минуты. Это умение принимать самые прозаичные моменты дня. Это возможность провести время с хорошей книгой, поболтать за ужином с любимым человеком и с удовольствием замечать разные приятные мелочи. Само по себе этого не…

Злиться вполне нормально. Злость нередко подсказывает, каковы мы на самом деле, что для нас важно и ценно. Например, это отличный индикатор личных границ. А еще по проявлениям злости видно, что мы считаем несправедливым. Злость отлично помогает мобилизоваться и немедленно начать действовать. Она преобразовывает нас, и…

What you first reach to insult someone with — especially when it's physical — says infinitely more of you than them.

They know that happiness is a choice, but they don’t feel the need to make it all the time.They are not stuck in the illusion that “happiness” is a sustained state of joy. They allow themselves time to process everything they are experiencing. They allow themselves to exist in their natural state. In that non-resistance,…

Сосредоточьтесь не на достижении идеала, а на самом процессе работы. Считайте, что главная задача — завершить дело, а не показать безупречный результат. Потом его можно дорабатывать, редактировать, менять, развивать в соответствии с собственным видением. Но если не начать, то никакого результата не будет вовсе

The things you love about others are the things you love about yourself. The things you hate about others are the things youcannot see in yourself.

It is healthy to be angry, and anger can also show us imзortant aspects of who we are and what we care about. For example, anger shows us where our boundaries are. Anger also helps us identify what we find to be unjust.

People only seem irrational and unpredictable until you understand what they are fundamentally committed to. For example, if someone has a core commitment to feel free, they may find themselves sabotaging work oppor- tunities in order to achieve that. If someone’s core commitment is to feel wanted, they could find…

Moral of the story: Living in the moment isn’t a lofty ideal reserved for the Zen and enlightened; it’s the only way to live a life that isn’t infiltrated with illusions. It’s the only thing your brain can actually comprehend

They don’t think that being fearful is a sign they are on the wrong path. The presence of indifference is a sign you’re on the wrong path. Fear means you’re trying to move toward something you love, but your old beliefs, or unhealed experiences, are getting in the way. (Or, rather, are being called up to be healed.)

They don’t just become close friends with anyone. They recognize true trust and intimacy as something you build, and something you want to be discerning with whom you share. But they’re not guarded or closed as they are simply mindful and aware of who they allow into their lives and hearts. They are kind to all, but truly…

The reason we don’t allow those shifts to become baselines is because of the upper limit—as soon as our circumstances extend beyond the amount of happiness we’re accustomed to and comfortable feeling, we unconsciously begin to self-sabotage.

Your anxiety is your resistance to the process, your last grasps at a control you are becoming more and more aware that you do not have. Your tiredness is your resistance to who you really are, the person you actually want to be. Your annoyance is your repressed anger. Your depression, biological factors aside of course,…

A lack of routine is just a breeding ground for perpetual procrastination. It gives us gaps and spaces in which our subconscious minds can say: “well, you can take a break now,” when in fact, you have a deadline. But if you’re used to taking a break at that point in time, you’ll allow it simply because “you always do.”

You assume that when it comes to following your “gut instincts,” happiness is “good” and fear and pain are “bad”.When you consider doing something that you truly love and are invested in, you are going to feel an influx of fear and pain, mostly because it will involve being vulnerable. Bad feelings should not always be…
