“Understanding #resentment, how it works in my life, where it comes from, and how I stay out of it – has been one of my lifelong struggles.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart #MeToo
“Your lack of work is not making me #resentful, my lack of rest is making me resentful.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart Oh, how I can relate to this …
“While #resentment is definitely an #emotion, I normally recognise it by a familiar thought pattern: What mean & critical thing am I rehearsing saying to this person?” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“While #schadenfreude may be fun to say and it’s an increasingly used term in the United States, it’s a tough #emotion. There’s a #cruelty & #insecurity about it.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“… nothing that celebrates the #humiliation or #pain of another person builds lasting #connection.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“… good friends aren’t afraid of your light. They never blow out your flame and you don’t blow out theirs – even when it’s really bright and it makes you worry about your own flame.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“A recent study showed that simple, boring tasks or mundane activities can allow our minds to wander, daydream, and create. The lack of #stimulation that defines ‘being bored’ gives our imagination room to play & grow.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“It’s dangerous to put your self-worth in other people’s hands. Again, no matter what you do, you can’t control other people’s responses.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart Over the years, I have gradually learnt that it is OK to like myself & know I am loved.
“There are too many people in the world today who decide to live disappointed rather than risk feeling #disappointed.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart I am determined not to be one of them.
“… #disappointments may be like paper cuts, but if these cuts are deep enough or if we accumulate them over a lifetime, then they can leave us seriously #wounded.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“What I regret most in my life are failures of #kindness. These moments when another human being was there, in front of me, and I responded … sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“The idea of ‘no regrets’ doesn’t mean living with #courage, it means living without #reflection. To live without #regret is to leave that we have nothing to learn, no amends to make, and no opportunity to be #braver with our lives.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart
“… #regrets about not taking chances have made me braver. Regrets about shaming or blaming people I care about have made me more thoughtful.” Brené Brown #AtlasOfTheHeart Reminded me of this. 👇
