66 Quotes by Jessica Moore

When anxiety gets out-of-control, it can create a nasty feedback loop that keeps us trapped in our heads, thinking and worrying about “what if…, what if…, what if…

Anxiety wants us to get organized and to be prepared. So if we want it to chill out, that's the first thing we should do.

The quickest way to end up feeling anger all the time is to repress it and fight against it.

Anger exists to move us into action, whenever action is needed to protect our boundaries, our sense of self, or whatever we consider to be “ours”.

Without healthy anger to keep us safe and empowered, people would constantly end up crossing our boundaries and taking advantage of us - even without meaning to.

Our ego is essential for us to function in the world. It is how I know who I am as a different person from you.

Anxiety is the aspect of our fear that looks to the future, anticipating potential problems and dangers.

Most meditative practices focus on the mind and becoming aware of our thoughts. By bringing this same awareness to our emotions - and then going further by consciously engaging them and uncovering the wisdom they hold - we can gain an even greater level of self-mastery. Emotional mastery comes not just from detachment, but from also allowing our emotions to fully flow, and receiving all that they have to offer us.

Detachment is a tricky business. If we are seeking to access the innate wisdom in our emotions, detachment itself cannot be the goal… because in order to hear what our emotions have to say, we have to be willing to feel them.
