I’ve learned that feeling anxiety or sadness is like a gentle nudge or wake-up call. It’s a reminder. A reminder you are taking fleeting thoughts and feelings as saying something about who you are. “You’ll never achieve that”. “What’s the point”. “ How am I going to do x”. Anything that comes with a feeling …

I love this quote and I posted it in a Facebook group around a year and a half ago. Now, however, I would not even say feelings are “on” you. They aren’t. They are simple passing through – and they are not even your feelings. You are not them. You are much bigger than that. …
