More quotes by Gretchen Rubin
Forbearance is a form of generosity.
Gretchen Rubin
Feelings follow actions. If I'm feeling low, I deliberately act cheery, and I find myself actually feeling happier. If I'm feeling angry at someone, I do something thoughtful for her and my feelings toward her soften. This strategy is uncannily effective.
Gretchen Rubin
Sometimes, counter-intuitively, it's easier to make a major change than a minor change. When a habit is changing very gradually, we may lose interest, give way under stress, or dismiss the change as insignificant. There's an excitement and an energy that comes from a big transformation, and that helps to create a habit.
Gretchen Rubin
Enthusiasm is more important than innate ability, it turns out, because the single more important element in developing an expertise is your willingness to practice.
Gretchen Rubin
One of the great joys of falling in love is the feeling that the most extraordinary person in the entire world has chosen you.
Gretchen Rubin
I always had the uncomfortable feeling that if I wasn't sitting in front of a computer typing, I was wasting my time - but I pushed myself to take a wider view of what was productive. Time spent with my family and friends was never wasted.
Gretchen Rubin
There are no do overs and some things just aren't going to happen. It is a little sad but you just have to embrace what is
Gretchen Rubin
We tend to overestimate what we can do in a short period, and underestimate what we can do over a long period.
Gretchen Rubin
Act the way that you want to feel.
Gretchen Rubin
Being taken for granted is an unpleasant but sincere form of praise. Ironically, the more reliable you are and the less you complain, the more likely you are to be taken for granted.
Gretchen Rubin
People in religions that teach that believers in other faiths are condemned, for example, tend to have lower life satisfaction. People who believe in heaven and hell tend to be less happy than those believe only in heaven.
Gretchen Rubin
Behind our unremarkable front door waits the little world of our making - our home.
Gretchen Rubin
I can DO ANYTHING I want, but I can't DO EVERYTHING I want.
Gretchen Rubin
I'm a person who's fine saying 'No.' I like saying to myself, no gossiping, no nagging.
Gretchen Rubin
I've found that I snack less and concentrate better when I chew on a plastic stirrer - the kind that you get to stir your to-go coffee. I picked up this habit from my husband, who loves to chew on things. His favorite chew-toy is a plastic pen top, and gnawed pen tops and little bits of plastic litter our apartment.
Gretchen Rubin
The more I examine the issue of clutter, the more effort I put into combating it, because it really does act as a weight.
Gretchen Rubin
I am living my real life, this is it. Now is now, and if I waited to be happier, waited to have fun, waited to do the things that I know I ought to do, I might never get the chance.
Gretchen Rubin
When Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's government fell in May 1940, the nation turned to Churchill. At last, his unique qualities were brought to bear on a supreme challenge, and with his unshakable optimism, his heroic vision, and above all, his splendid speeches, Churchill roused the spirit of the British people.
Gretchen Rubin
We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.
Gretchen Rubin
Guard your children's free time - from you.
Gretchen Rubin
