45 Quotes by Rachel D. Greenwell

Equilibrium is basically when different forces achieve balance. They become equal or the same. People do this with energy. If you know this and you also know that you have power then you can choose the energy or the feeling of the room or of the group or whatever. Basically, you just feel the feelings really strongly and hold it no matter what is going on around you and no matter what anyone else around you feels like.

One day I realized just how much I despised being with me. I didn’t want to feel like that anymore. I thought, “shit, I'm going to be this me forever. I have to learn to like myself”.

Every human being is equal. Every single human being has worth. It's something that we have just because. Just because we are. We didn’t have to do anything to earn it or do anything to keep it. We are worthy just as we are RIGHT NOW even in our most broken, desperate state. YOU are worthy right now! Even if it doesn’t feel like it. You have to have faith that this is true.

I had to find something, ANYTHING to distract myself from myself. But you can’t run from yourself forever. No matter where you go, you are always there. No matter what you do to avoid being with yourself, you’ll always come back around to having to face you again.

If you want kindness from others, be kind. If you want love from others, be loving. If you want peace from others, be peaceful.

In those moments when I have to choose to practice faith, that’s when I feel strong.

We are all connected! We are also individuals. We have our own individual selves here on this earth but there is a part of us that is connected to everyone and everything else. We are all ONE. Begin to move your awareness into this understanding and looking at everything around you as if it is part of you.

Loving your children fearlessly and relentlessly and with every bit of your heart will make a great impact on their lives. They will grow up and know that they were loved always. This still doesn’t teach them how to love themselves. You knowing how to love yourself and showing them a proper example of how to set boundaries, how to do self-care, and how to balance working and resting, will be things that they learn from you and will eventually mimic as adults.

our child will learn A LOT about how to love themselves from the way you love yourself. Yes, they will learn parts of how to have self-worth from how you love them. But most of what they will do in the way of self-love will be what YOU DO in terms of LOVING YOURSELF
