Forgive Yourself For How You Chose To Survive Forgive yourself for how you chose to survive. Forgive yourself for the desires you judged harshly. Forgive yourself for indulging in things that took up your time but didn't fulfill you. Forgive yourself for declaring yourself as someone you’re not. Forgive yourself for your chosen avenues of negative expressions. Forgive yourself for all the times you didn’t add value to others. Forgive yourself for what you discovered about yourself that you didn’t like. Forgive yourself for whatever ugliness you saw in yourself. Forgive yourself for not correcting what you think you should have. Forgive yourself for the parts you couldn’t respect. Forgive yourself for all these judgments. Forgive yourself for not being able to forgive yourself before. — Emily Maroutian #forgivingYourself #emilyMaroutian #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLL5a8uFj8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inner Peace Searching for inner peace begins with the recognition of suffering. Creating world peace begins with the recognition of suffering. Recognizing suffering is easy, but it hurts. Whenever you feel hurt or notice someone hurting, there is suffering. Recognizing that is the first step to peace. If you are not feeling or seeing hurt and suffering, then you have found peace. The minute you begin to worry that the peace won’t last, you are back to suffering. The minute you realize that the peace will last, you have fundamentally changed your way of suffering. When you recognize that you can handle your suffering, you have found peace. — Zenmister, from Peace & Suffering #peace #suffering #innerPeace #zenmister #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwtPGYux4N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Darling, You've been so hard on yourself lately. Is it because you feel like you're behind in life? Is it because you're not where you want to be? Or is it because you're still hurting over past scenarios that you swore you let go of? Try being soft on your soul for a change and see what happens. Talk to your internal voice with kindness and adoration. Tell it how proud you are of transcending beyond the obstacles it was once defeated by. Retrace the steps of your journey that have brought you to this very moment and realize that you did everything correctly. Nothing happened that wasn't meant to be. Every part of your spirit has grown; if you focused more on what you accomplished instead of what you lacked, you would recognize that. You've been levelling up all along but your ego has prevented you from seeing your progress. Shift your views on productivity; don't underestimate the hard work that comes with elevating your spirit. There's still some magic to be found in this chapter; don't leave a single drop of it behind. The Universe is far from finished with you. — ESTHER T. @MOONOMENS #beKindToYourself #beSoftOnYourSoul #moonOmens #zenwords #repost https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUt9HiuFrN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Surrender is not weakness. There is great strength in it. Only a surrendered person has spiritual power. Through surrender, you will be free internally of the situation. You may then find that the situation changes without any effort on your part. In any case, you are free. — Eckhart Tolle, from The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment #kindlequotes #surrender #eckhartTolle #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CltdnVHuBi0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feeling Jealous When Your Friends Interact With Others and Without You #jealousy #anger #rejection #socialRejection #zenwords #zenmister To deal with these powerful emotions, breathe with them as you notice them arising. Name the thoughts that are fuelling the jealousy. If your friend is talking to somebody else and you feel jealous, notice the feeling and tell yourself, “I am getting jealous because my friend is talking to somebody else”. Then remind yourself that they are your friend and they like you and that they are not rejecting you because they are talking to other people. Think about how you appreciate your friendship, breathe consciously, and let the jealousy pass before it escalates into anger. — Zenmister https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJS5xwuudh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Listening to People If you practice listening to people, giving them your attention despite your lack of interest you will demonstrate caring even if you don’t feel it. Don’t judge what people say as being worthy of your attention or not. Build you capacity for attention by listening and focus only on listening. When you are distracted by your inattention, go back to listening, hear what they are saying. By listening to people and giving them your attention you learn to care. As you learn to care, listening becomes easier.
