"When we are doing our best in everything we can, it helps to decrease overemotional episodes. Not that being overemotional is necessarily a “bad” thing, and there are situations in life that are highly improbable to face without becoming overemotional. Emotions are not, in and of itself, a “bad” thing. But allowing them to sweep over us, overtake us, and carry us away on a swift current, without any rational say so, on a wild, destructive ride, can become a problem." —Melissa Hargrave #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2lS42ea Image: @nayyirah.waheed

"How do we, Why do we, measure ourselves: upon the words, behaviors, actions, opinions of others; who, don’t even know who they are? How do we,
Why do we, expect others :
to love, honor and respect us; if,
we do not love, honor and respect ourselves? It is our choice." —@alizagerritt #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2kVzwhQ

"You are not your mind and your mind is not you. You are the user of the mind. Why allow myself to feel bad just to later (possibly) be relieved when the worst does not come to pass? And what if the worst did come to pass? Would I have benefited from feeling terrible in the interim? No, not at all. There is no benefit to feeling crumby." —Melissa Hargrave #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2iIBV39 Image: @jessica_drossin

"Love helps us understand how we work, how we relate to others in society, and, of course, love propels us into a thriving and unique relationship with our loved one, and with our children. We are also coming to understand that love is a participation with the world in its collective struggle. The form of that participation will differ according to the diversity in our personality and gifts. Love is that which fuels our vitality. Frequently, it is love that fuels the struggle we undertake to survive dire poverty, the struggle to survive ecological problems, the struggle to survive the forces that are fighting against democracy, and the struggle to create a world that really works and offers us a sense of solidarity with one another. Love is the foundation." —Chris Saade #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2iBb2y2 @kayharr73 @ladypantzz @tanyamarkul @thugunicorn Image/quote: @kat.savage

"When you push away the sides of yourself, and life, that scare you or limit your ability to accept who you are, you are bypassing the very reality of the inner work that is going to complete you in the end." —Erdinc Raim of @erdincraimyoga #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2byVQOT @kayharr73 @ladypantzz @tanyamarkul @thugunicorn Image: @brahmino

"The healing elixir exists within the poison. Your issues, your trauma, your pain can set you free. Make forgiving yourself the greatest act of courage. Make forgiving those around you, the world, the smallest sacrifice. Tap deeply into life. Invite the possibility of transforming the darkest aspects of you into something that is malleable and allowed to be released. Trust beyond your current understanding that you don’t have to be swallowed by the shadows, but that there is love there." —Tanya Markul of @thugunicorn #MINDRISE Read more: http://bit.ly/2jjFQT2 @kayharr73 @ladypantzz @tanyamarkul Image: @thugunicorn

"I accept my body. I accept that I will never have a super fit, tight, breasts that sit at your shoulders, ass that you can bounce a quarter off body. It may have been the first time I was happy about that. I was satisfied. I can make some improvements; I can tighten my core in hopes that losing weight won’t leave me with skin hanging around my waist, the kind that just lives there, sullen and hollow, while my muscles hide underneath. It may happen, I’m certainly getting no tummy tuck or lipo or any of those other things that imaginary people with money get. I realised I loved my odd shape, because this is me and to loathe my shape is to loathe myself, and I have worked far too hard for decades on learning to love myself." —Courtney Quinlan, Editor of The Urban Howl #mindrise #bodypositive #loveyourself #youarethemagic #howl Read more: http://bit.ly/2eQlfDv @kayharr73 @ladypantzz @thugunicorn @dharmaunicorn
