More quotes by Gretchen Rubin

Gretchen Rubin

Gretchen Rubin
There's also something about your bed it's sort of a symbol of yourself and of your marriage, if you're married. Making your bed doesn't seem to be an important thing in a happy life, and yet it can be that tiny foothold into a more orderly life that sometimes people need.
Gretchen Rubin
I'm doing a lot of speaking and talking about habits, which is this subject that obsesses me. That's a lot of fun.
Gretchen Rubin
Act the way that you want to feel.
Gretchen Rubin
I'm a person who's fine saying 'No.' I like saying to myself, no gossiping, no nagging.
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
It's the task that's never started that's more tiresome.
Gretchen Rubin
To eke out the most happiness from an experience, we must anticipate it, savor it as it unfolds, express happiness, and recall a happy memory.
Gretchen Rubin
Laughter is more than just a pleasurable activity...When people laugh together, they tend to talk and touch more and to make eye contact more frequently.
