“Being free is all about letting go. Our culture acts like “allowing” a weakness, but try it and you’ll know it’s one of the most powerful things ever! Just for today, see what happens if you let go: of expectations, of fear, of resentments, etc. Imagine how light you’ll be without all that (old!) weight.” Inspirational QuotesJoyAttitudeMindfulness QuotesBeing FreeJoy QuotesMindful LivingInner Peace Quotes Book:BIG: the practice of joy Source: BIG: the practice of joy
“Here’s what I know is a true fact from my own life and what students have helped me learn from teaching more classes than I can count: if things aren’t getting better, I haven’t changed my story. Not just the story I tell while hiking with my girlfriends, but the story I unconsciously whisper to my very cells that in turn reverberates throughout my being. The story that binds itself with my emotions, my perceptions of the past, and my visions of the future. If my story doesn’t change, nothing else can.” JoyAttitudePerspectiveInner PeaceStoryJoyful LivingTell Your Story Book:BIG: the practice of joy Source: BIG: the practice of joy

“What if your whole life could be a meditation? I’m not suggesting some far-off retreat center where the worries of the world couldn’t reach you. Nope. I’m suggesting the opposite.

“The energy fueling everything we do is what matters most. EVERY. “LITTLE.” THING. Even if we’re changing a toilet paper roll, we can do it joyfully, instead of wasting time resenting the person who used that last square and neglected to replace it. “Little” responses like that add up in the movie of our life. We don’t really get to play the martyr anymore, but that’s a great role to give up. Better to play the happy star of our own show.” Inspirational QuotesSpiritual QuotesMindfulnessMindsetInner PeaceJoyful LivingMindfulMindful Living Book:BIG: the practice of joy Source: BIG: the practice of joy
“I deeply believe that we each have our own, very special form of Love to manifest. It’s what we came to do, and if we lived that manifested Love, the way we see the world would change completely! Notice how I didn’t say, “by manifesting Love we could change the world completely”? Changing the world is never my goal. Did you just gasp? Shouldn’t every helpful “spiritual person” want to change the world? My guess? Nah. My job is to change my view of the world to live in a way not separated from Love; to live in manifested Love; and to shine it so brightly everywhere, that all those ideas about our separateness fade in that brightness.

“Was it really a bad day, or did those bad ten minutes get replayed all day (out loud or to yourself)? Reframing is powerful. So is stopping to breathe. Try them both! ● ☐ ● Sometimes, when something “bad” happens, do you imagine telling your best friend? Your spouse? Your dog (dogs always understand and never judge!)? So, essentially, instead of training yourself out of the bad mood, do you train yourself to prolong it?” Inner PeaceAttitude QuotesReframeMindful Thinking Author:Kelly Corbet
“A lot of people I know regularly step on a scale to tyrannically inform them how disciplined/valuable/beautiful they are or are not. The number that shows up next to their toes has a lot of power over how they feel. But why? Probably because they decide in advance what the “ideal” number should be, and not matching that, well, they get triggered. What if we decided that no device, no history, no religion, no ancestry had the power to “measure” us? Who we are is so much bigger than any scale or assessment could ever capture!” AttitudeMindfulnessWeightInner PeaceBody ImageMindful Living Author:Kelly Corbet
