[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

Everything about our psychological experience is temporary, in motion, and relatively superficial.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

Thought has no actual power. It simply accompanies life’s inevitable unfolding.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

How much time does your mind spend replaying the past - even when the past is one second ago - creating imaginary stories about how it should have gone?

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

Life will only and always be exactly as it is. No different, no better, no worse.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

Minds are very good at projecting thought onto other people and circumstances. So good that it’s near impossible to recognize it as projection.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

We don’t think grief should last so long so we try to cheer ourselves up with more work, purchases, or closer relationships. When these things are used to distract from sadness, sadness knocks louder.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

We don’t like the anger that’s arising so we try to see things in a nicer light to bypass or soften what’s arising. This is resistance and it will always hurt more in the end.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

When you feel, what wants to happen is happening. It’s a relief, no different than a deep breath after holding your breath. No different than eating after starving or resting after hard work.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

You’ve been seeing who and what your aren’t so you can discover more of who and what you are. And this is just the beginning.

[Dr. Amy Johnson @DrAmyJohnson]

Feeling into your formless essence takes care of all problems, all habits, all negative thought. It’s the most practical, simple, profound thing a human can do.

Feeling what’s arising is the ironic way to suffer less.
