Martha Beck Quotes

Heading towards that inner home will take you places-both inside yourself and in the external world-which your heart will recognize as its native environment, even though you have never been there before Picture Quote #1

Try seeing your world and yourself this way, eyes open to whatever is before you, mind free of dichotomies. Are you good or bad, fragile or tough, wise or foolish? Yes. And so am I Picture Quote #1

If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You’ll grow up Picture Quote #1

Self-improvement books, friends, and polite strangers often tell soothing lies about our physical appearance that prevent many of us from facing, discussing, and solving our real problems Picture Quote #1

Fact: From quitting smoking to skiing, we succeed to the degree we try, fail, and learn. Studies show that people who worry about mistakes shut down, but those who are relaxed about doing badly soon learn to do well. Success is built on failure Picture Quote #1

I suggest Substituting Inedible Nurturance, or SIN. Don’t replace overeating with virtuous work or exercise; instead, make a list of things you love, from watching TV to hanging out with favorite people Picture Quote #1

Imagine the choices you’d make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval Picture Quote #1

Expectation loiters in the DNA of every sentient being; when you tell yourself or a loved one, ‘Don’t get your hopes up,’ you’re fighting ancient genetic programming Picture Quote #1

This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run Picture Quote #1

Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel Picture Quote #1

Do something today that you think is too delicious, too selfish, too wacky to fit within the rules of your life Picture Quote #1

Anything you’re trying to will is focused on the future; it’s always associated with some sort of anxiety that makes the present moment somewhat uncomfortable Picture Quote #1

For the vast majority of world history, human life - both culture and biology - was shaped by scarcity. Food, clothing, shelter, tools, and pretty much everything else had to be farmed or fabricated, at a very high cost in time and energy Picture Quote #1

From a place of stillness, openness, forgiveness and acceptance you can renew your commitment to any eating plan you like Picture Quote #1

Own your failure openly, publicly, with genuine regret but absolutely no shame, and you’ll reap a harvest of forgiveness, trust, respect, and connection-the things you thought you’d get by succeeding. Ironic, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

It takes about four days of virtuous living to create a little weight loss. That also happens to be the time required to get used to eating less. In other words, if you can get past day three of a fitness regimen, things improve Picture Quote #1

Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson Picture Quote #1

Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life; it is the pathway to it Picture Quote #1

In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can’t Picture Quote #1

Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot Picture Quote #1

What would you do if you knew that every good thing in your life depended on your getting enough rest? Because it does Picture Quote #1

If you find yourself getting nervous stop and relax for three full breaths. Then take one small step, then another. That is how people get to the top of Everest Picture Quote #1

Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving Picture Quote #1

Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself Picture Quote #1

As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent Picture Quote #1

All mental hygiene is based on the core practice of doing nothing. Most of us are good at wasting time, staring at the wall while telling ourselves we should be working. We call this doing nothing, but our brains are furiously active. We think constantly, and our thinking is often rife with distress Picture Quote #1

Something in the human psyche confuses beauty with the right to be loved. The briefest glance at human folly reveals that good looks and worthiness operate independently. Yet countless socializing forces, from Aunt Clara to the latest perfume ad, reinforce beliefs like ‘If I were pretty enough, I would be loved.’ Picture Quote #1

If we’re stuck with having expectations, there’s a very good reason to embrace positive ones: It’s that we often create what we anticipate Picture Quote #1

Forcing yourself to think happy lies doesn’t heal your dreams. Getting to the truth does Picture Quote #1

If you’d rather live surrounded by pristine objects than by the traces of happy memories, stay focused on tangible things. Otherwise, stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you Picture Quote #1
