“It's like looking at the sun, that's how infinity is. You can't look at it for too long or you dissolve. The bands of your attention break. But if you look at it in specific ways, you can become something or someone much more conscious.” IfsWayLooksLongAttentionBreakSunAwarenessBuddhismBandConsciousInfinity Author:Frederick Lenz
“Why, why, when one writes, does a sort of shackle bind one's imagination? I become conscious of a deadening mediocrity, perhaps a form of mental cowardice, and I long to break free, to let my imagination take wings. It doesn't - yet.” WritingLongDoeFormImaginationBreakConsciousWingsMediocrityCowardiceMy ImaginationShackles Book:Letters to a Friend Source: Letters to a Friend
“When you're writing for the screen, you have to be hyper-conscious every moment of how the audience is going to react. If you write just one scene where the audience is confused or it breaks their concentration in some way, then you've lost them, and you might never get them back.” IfsWayWritingMomentsMightLostBreakAudienceSceneConsciousScreensConfusedJust OneConcentrationHyper Author:Salman Rushdie
“Research has shown that it takes 31 days of conscious effort to make or break a habit. That means, if one practices something consistently for 31 days, on the 32nd day it does become a habit. Information has been internalised into behavioural change, which is called transformation.” IfsMeanDoeHas BeensEffortBreakPracticeInformationHabitResearchConsciousTransformationConsistentlyMake Or Break Author:Shiv Khera
“I use [Heraclitus' discovery of] enantiodromia for the emergence of the unconscious opposite in the course of time. This characteristic phenomenon practically always occurs when an extreme, onesided tendency dominates conscious life; in time an equally powerful counterposition is built up, which first inhibits the conscious performance and subsequently breaks through the conscious control.” FirstsUseCoursesPowerfulBreakConsciousDiscoveryBuiltOppositesPerformancesExtremesTendenciesCharacteristicsUnconsciousPhenomenonBreak ThroughEmergence Book:Psychological Types Source: Psychological Types

“A fixed habit is supported by old, well-worn pathways in the brain. When you make conscious choices to change a habit, you create new pathways. At the same time, you strengthen the decision-making function of the cerebral cortex while diminishing the grip of the lower, instinctual brain. So without judging your habit, whether it feels like a good one or a bad one, take time to break the routine, automatic response that habit imposes.” FeelsWellsChoicesDecisionBrainBreakJudgingHabitConsciousFunctionResponseFixedDecision MakingRoutineTake TimeWornPathwaysCerebral Author:Deepak Chopra
“Before M2, I really felt self-conscious about some of my choices, and I was slotted into a category. At Rolling Stone, I was the alternative chick, and that was just the way it was.

“As conscious adult women, if we really do care about the state of girls and women worldwide, we need to train this next generation of girls because they are going to be the ones taking over and they are going to be the ones that shift this paradigm. Unfortunately for our generation, we've been raised in a society where greed trumps all. In other words, where the bottom line is money...where money affects how we perceive each other, and how we perceive ourselves and our value. We need to break that now with this younger generation.” CareValuesGirlBreakConsciousTrainBottomGreedPerceiveNext GenerationParadigmYounger Generation Author:Kamala Lopez
