Commitment: bacon vs eggs
Knowing this we can appreciate those in our lives who are in our corner. This is a quote often used by this celebrity buddhist monk at marriage ceremonies when he blesses that “let this be a pig marriage” but it speaks to many things we value highly and cherishing what is important. (It’s not about being a sacrificial lamb but more about doing what makes life worthwhile).#kindfulness #relationships #mindfulness #commitment #values #challenges #weightloss #motivation #love #selfcare #compassion
Riptide
On struggling with things we can’t change or pushing away unpleasant emotions that come quite naturally. Dropping the struggle can allow us to conserve energy that we’d otherwise waste. Then when action is needed we can give 100%. #acceptance #denial #fear #anxiety #anger #forgiveness #adversity #challenges #guilt #shame #depression #love #kindfulness #mindfulness #controlfreak #relax #uncertainty #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #illness #loss #ACT

People should have the same values
Watch your mind: can you shift your beliefs in the direction of more flexibility, openness and inclusiveness? #teamwork #relationships #tolerance #prejudice #love #friendship #CBT #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #beliefs #emotionalflexibility #ACT #mindfulness #kindfulness #irrationalbeliefs
The world should provide
Are we expecting from the world what it cannot give us? Do we hold resentment for the universe, our own bodies, our own minds? What would it take for us to do what is important? Is there something more important to us that we might be willing to venture outside our comfort zone to achieve? Is our desire to remain comfortable holding us prisoner when in fact we could become more open to our present circumstances? We can notice our basic intelligence, our physical and mental abilities and our curr
If there is a chance that something might happen
Are we holding onto worry and mistaking it for problem solving? Are we ruminating rather than planning? Are our fears really justified and even if they are could we still have the skills, resources and tenacity to survive? Can we move in the direction of being more open to life’s ups and downs? Can we let difficulty show us our vulnerability but then also our strength and resilience- perhaps coming to know that others are experiencing the same fears, that we are connected by the human condition?
It is easier to avoid problems
Denial can be a useful coping strategy but at some point we might find ourselves curious about what uncomfortable emotions are present. We might be surprised our feelings have an energy, shape, location, feel, texture, weight or lightness, colour or smell. We might notice the space around our discomfort and that we can remain open to our present situation without closing down. Sometimes we shield ourselves from the things we most value when they are threatened. So knowing that our discomfort can
There is a correct solution to every problem
Do we find ourselves worrying or becoming disappointed when nothing can be done? Can we become wise to know when there is something we can do to change our situation and when we must bide our time? If we are not always searching for a solution we might become curious instead about what is available right now that we can appreciate, enjoy and cherish. We might be more present with our loved ones, notice nature around us and our own basic intelligence and abilities. #solutions #problems #worry
It is awful when
Are we asking from life what it cannot give us? Nobody likes to lose something they value, be criticised or shamed, get ill sick or die. Have we worked out yet that our bodies, our lives our jobs, our relationships, our possessions don't last forever? Can we broaden our view and notice we are struggling with the same problems as our fellow humans? We might start to notice things we can appreciate and lift us up: our basic intelligence, our ability to tell what is right from wrong, painful or
