We don't have a lot of time to waste on not being ourselves.

The quicker we can default to a meditative state, the easier it is to not keep freaking out.

One thought at a time. Every day.

Draining my undercurrent of worry.

Reacting less defensively towards other people's emotional confusion.

We could be smarter and more awesome than we seem. We'd see it, if we currently lived in the correct context.

Working to not be a caricature of past unhappiness.

Give yourself a solid moment to emotionally and psychologically coalesce.

Shaking hands with my consciousness.

Consider your age to be a positive accumulation.

I accidentally typed "lust fund," and want to use it for something.

Exercising positive interpretations.

Basking in the glow of shared rhythms.

Flexing my thoughts to stimulate their potential.

Inreach is as important as outreach.

Pontificate without hurting yourself.

During times of external chaos, organize your mind and emotions.

We can smile with other parts of our body.

Regularly tickle your fancy, to make sure it's still working.

Mindless positivity is an important skill when we can't stop thinking negative thoughts.

We have to build a strong process of self perception to combat our personal illusion of involuntary unperceivability.

Balance every challenging thought with an inspirational one.

Life gets emotional sometimes.

Breathing is always the best beginning.

Learning is the best way to supercede our previous sins.

Making ourselves into more than just a loose assortment of person pieces.

Keeping my immature impulses in the psychological playpen.

Turn your brain into a headlight.

Often, aggressive people are just venting accumulated self-abuse.

Divining the nexus of my utility.

Always keep a secret pocket of happiness, for emotional emergencies.

My mind used to be a personally designed prison.

Attempting to not either over or under compensate today.

Tracking my emotions like wild animals. By the freshness of broken mental branches.

It can take a while to figure out the larger arc of what we want to say.

We can start again, as long as we use everything we learned.

Using my smile as a visual theme song.

Every word opens a door in our mind.

Try not to mistake a defensive facade for the real person inside.

Hope is a battery inside us we need to regularly recharge.

Idealism isn't foolish if it's aimed correctly.

I am the baby and the bathwater.

Life is an interpretive dance about our lives.

My clarity is often full of invisible obstacles.

Learn how to be an emotional oasis.

Writing as a method of getting to know myself. Hello.

It's amazing what we can psychologically accomodate.

Relax your secret clenching.

To strengthen our power of choice, we have to choose while wearing weights.

We all go through phases of emotional upheaval. Try to do it gracefully.

Trying to unify my disparate realities.
