When you can take responsibility for your feelings, you stop having a long list of things other people need to do to make you feel good. You stop trying to control or change how they behave, and start changing what’s actually changeable – your own life.
The negative emotion stops feeling wrong, and you see it for what it is: a normal part of being a human. No matter where you are, life will always be a mixed bag of emotions.
It’s time to stop giving someone else control over your happiness. It’s time to stop doubting yourself and feeling like you’re not good enough.
Your self-talk patterns aren’t just harmless observations; they’re the drivers of your emotional life. Develop an inner BS detector for your own sake.
What if I told you no matter where you are in life, happiness is available to you? We tend to think happiness is waiting for us once we get that promotion or once we’re thinner or reach a certain milestone. Then, we’ll feel better than we do now.
Living your life to prove you matter or that you’re good enough is a waste of time. You’re trying to complete something that’s already finished.
We’re constantly absorbing messages about living seemingly perfect lives, so it's easy to beat ourselves up and focus on what's wrong rather than what's right.

The more you can bring yourself to the present moment, the more you retrain your brain to stop spiraling or repeating past, unhelpful programming.
