So often, the loop of thoughts in our brain is like we are scripting in advance what we will say to someone. You don’t need a script. When you are fully present you can listen and see more clearly. Then the right response will always come out.

This week, pay extra attention to how that inner voice is self-talking. Notice if it is positive or negative. If the voice is negative, take a breath, slow down the breath and body, see if you can #LetGo of that story or see it from a more beneficial perspective, and come back to the here and now.

Whenever the world gets too overwhelming, simply take a mental step back, notice all the sensations that are coming into your conscious awareness in the present moment, and breathe. Everything you need to be #happy is already inside you, you just have to be present to see it.

#Awakening is realizing that you’ve been looking at the universe with everything covered in plastic — making everything seem separate from you and obscuring your view of the beauty of this universe — and then removing that layer through which you cannot see.

No matter where you are in life, appreciate how far you’ve come. No matter where you’ve been, be grateful for those experiences that made you who you are. No matter what you’re doing, give it your full attention. And may you find the wonder and adventure that lie within every moment

Life is not a competition. You may think it is, everyone you know may treat it like it is, but is not. There are no winners in that game. Someone may have more wealth but less happiness, or more happiness but less good looks. Only by not playing can you win. Only then you are free.

Travel must not be to reach a place. Travel must be for travel. Everything must be for that thing. This is living in flow. Walking must not be to get somewhere. Walking must be for walking.

Part of mindfully using social media that is so important is not just being mindful of what you’re seeing, but also being mindful of what you’re not seeing. Being mindful of what you don’t know. Because it’s very easy to fall for social media tricks.

When we realize that all we're doing is racing toward our own demise, we can finally slow down and recognize that all there is this moment and all that matters is how we are experiencing this moment.

The key to becoming spiritual isn't that we do anything, it’s the opposite, we have to undo everything. #spirituality

Every time you are #stressed, sad, anxious or overwhelmed and you pull out your phone, watch a show, go shopping, take intoxicants, or dive into your work to feel better, you are only stuffing down your pain. It will not heal through avoidance, only accumulate. You must bear witness to release it.

Make "extra" your mantra.

Be extra loving to yourself, extra kind to yourself, extra kind to others, and put extra focus on how the world's kindness shines back at you.
