@TrudyGoodman So true. Thank you! Much Metta. 🙏

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

It IS very raw, real & common. And nothing odd or feel ashamed about! #Celebrate that you’re looking for a non-maladaptive way to #cope, lessen suffering. Many of us then discover an entirely new way of living; a rich #mindful path. Thank you, Much Metta @TrudyGoodman #Buddhism

[Trudy Goodman @TrudyGoodman]

A lot of us start our spiritual path out of our own suffering. I think that is such an authentic reason to begin. It is very raw and real. https://t.co/Y2VjHF4dj3

@MindfulEveryday Truth. Thank you. Much Metta.

The Three Poisons: ignorance, attachment, aversion all add to the well of anxiety. Drain it by feeling then accepting (feelings aren’t facts) & gently challenge yourself to face what scares you. Do this habitually, the anxiety will lower as your confidence muscle grows. #Anxiety

"One of the difficult things about anxiety of any kind is that the more we avoid doing something that makes us anxious, the greater the fear and anxiety grow. " ~ Jill Suttie

Like a tree that is shaped by heavy winds, you've been formed by events of your life. https://t.co/xvePYVlMr6

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

Absolutely. It’s difficult yet try to ‘catch and release’ shame, thoughts of guilt for mental anguish. Breathe into your pain, hold anxiety in your hand like a baby bird & kindly tell depression you’re aware of it’s presence yet it’s not taking up residency forever. #NotBroken 🙏

[Everyday Mindfulness @MindfulEveryday]

"If you are depressed or anxious - your pain makes sense. You're not crazy. You're not broken. There's scientific evidence for why people feel this way. There's a mix of causes - biological, psychological & social. None are your fault and all can be dealt with..." @johannhari101

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

@bodhidave3 Absolutely! Well said! Great example of using compassion rather than aversion to something which we humans easily want to run away from or auto blame others for. Thay’s book “Anger” is wonderful in displaying eloquently stated & healthy examples such as the above. Much Metta!

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

An excellent article: “What has to happen from the perspective of Buddhism is not so much that we have to like everything that people are doing around us or find their behavior acceptable, but that we meet it with a different kind of reaction.” #Buddhism #Peace #Mindfulness

There are ways to avoid acting out of anger—even when our anger seems entirely justified. https://t.co/RgBovPwmOX

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

@tricyclemag A very good article. Much Metta.

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

@led253 Not at all. An untrained mind can lead even happiness into unhealthy places. Feeling - allowing oneself - the full range of human emotions w/out reactivity yet with a gentle, open awareness & acceptance is healthy. Seeking or aversion causes more suffering. May you be well!

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

A refreshing truth to read; many are still conditioned to this “pursuit”. Like sadness, happiness is a temporary emotion on the scale. Contentment, neutrality, emptiness are far healthier states. Being in the moment w/out self-pressure or judgment cultivates peace. #Mindfulness

[Everyday Mindfulness @MindfulEveryday]

Happiness is not the natural state for human beings. We are supposed to experience both unhappiness and happiness and everything in between.

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

@MindfulEveryday So true. Thank you. Much Metta.

[The Dharmacy ™️ @TheDharmacy]

@AutumnFallnSky @phldenault @MindfulEveryday Agreed. May seem and often is, extremely difficult - practicing radical acceptance doesn’t equate being okay or agreeing with something, someone or a situation. You’re acknowledging What Is and making a conscious decision how to react. Even in the instance given one can be free.
