Can't Stop Thinking Quotes

“Ciò che è problematico è la nostra convinzione che i pensieri s'impongano indipendentemente da noi. A farci soffrire è la tendenza a identificarci con essi, è l'idea che noi siamo i nostri pensieri.”

“Pain will present itself when it needs to. It will arise organically when you're in it, but you're not obligated to bring pain into this now when it's not naturally here. You don't need to wallpaper the present moment with suffering in order to prove that it matters.”

“When we can’t stop thinking about all the things that will need to be figured out at some point in the future, it can be an act of supreme self-kindness to remind ourselves that we only have to and only can, in fact, manage the situation for today—just today. We cannot figure out what will be needed or wanted in the future. We don’t have the information to decide that yet, so it’s best to not go there until we know more. And, when we do go there, we don’t have to do it alone. We can ask for help; other people have walked through whatever we’re walking through, and we can call on those resources.”
