TrishB The brain is a weird and wonderful thing. Some of the things my daughter tells me she‘s worrying about....when I apply logic to it she says, I know, but I still can‘t help thinking it! Talking helps š 6y

Cathythoughts @TrishB thankyou ! I know some of my more outrageous worries, when I tell my husband he says .... only you could imagine that one š™„. All in a lifetimes work ... 6y

Kalalalatja My worrying can spiral a bit out of control sometimes, but I really try to keep a tight leash on it! 6y

Cathythoughts Worriers ! Watch @Reggie ā€s link .... it‘s brilliant š‘¨š¸»ā¯¤ļø¸ 6y

quietlycuriouskate Doctor once told me my trouble is I have a very hungry mind and it doesn't get enough good stuff to "eat" so it creates an endless buffet of inappropriate worries to chew over. Now I picture my mind as an urban fox skulking round the dustbins of a night! 6y

Cathythoughts @kathedron I love this. That‘s an amazing image ... I will be thinking about that one š‘¨š¸»ā¯¤ļø¸š¦ 6y

"When we start to meditate or to work with any kind of spiritual discipline, we often think that somehow we‘re going to improve, which is a subtle aggression against who we really are [...] Meditation practice isn‘t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It‘s about befriending who we are already."

"For those of us with a hunger to know the truth, painful emotions are like flags going up to say, 'You‘re stuck!' [...] When the flag goes up, we have an opportunity: we can stay with our painful emotion instead of spinning out. Staying is how we get the hang of gently catching ourselves when we‘re about to let resentment harden into blame, righteousness, or alienation."

"If we find ourselves in doubt [...] we can contemplate this question: 'Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?'"
