Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.
Martha Beck
Image
My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know, we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
Martha Beck
Image
Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn't heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does.
Martha Beck
Image
Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel.
Martha Beck
Image
Menders of all times and places have taught that silencing the thoughts in our heads and opening to the experience of the body and emotions is the basis of all healing. It's the only means by which we can reclaim our true nature or feel the subtle cues telling us how to find our way through life.
Martha Beck
Image
People are so afraid of authority figures and doctors are authority figures.
Martha Beck
Image
Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
Martha Beck
Image
I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.
