Quote by Kelly Corbet

“Joy isn’t if/then: it’s when/then. When you invite and expect more joy, then you’re certain to find it. Entertain fear, anger, resentment, etc., and you will surely find those, too.”

“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?”

“Even as I hold you I think of you as someone gone far, far away. Your eyes the color of pennies in a bowl of dark honey bringing sweet light to someone else your black hair slipping through my fingers is the flash of your head going around a corner your smile, breaking before me, the flippant last turn of a revolving door, emptying you out, changed, away from me. Even as I hold you I am letting go.”

“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!”
