Stuck In Our Heads Quotes

“We do not have to cure every neurosis, we just have to learn how not to be caught by them.
This is a difficult process because of how restricted our capacities for attention usually are. We do not suspend our judgments easily, nor do we generally have access to our childhood capacity for curiosity and exploration. Our attentional resources are hijacked early in our lives by our need to manage the intrusive or ignoring familial environments in which we are immersed. As a result, many of us end up in unreal states, stuck in our heads, unaware of our bodies, and unaware of being unaware.”
― Mark Epstein

“We all at some point realize we’re not so much stuck in our roles as we are stuck in our own heads. It’s there where the roles exist in the first place.”
― Kelleen Goerlitz, The Complete Works of a Lost Girl

“[There are some] beliefs you currently believe, that are in your way. (...) You believe so much in them. And we understand why you believe in them.
Because: when you believe something, you offer a vibration about it, and you KEEP RECREATING it. So, something that happened a long time ago, you keep renewing your membership to. You keep bringing it forwards. And so, then the memory, which could be very slight or non-existent at this point, is really active and alive, because you talked about it today. And you talked about it yesterday. And you talked about it the day before, even if it had happened 20 years ago.

And so, when people encounter you, you are a fresh new person. And if you are like most humans, you are regurgitating a lot of old stuff. So, things don´t change very much, if that´s what is going on with you.

Oh, different faces and different places, but same old, same old!
Because you continue to offer this same old belief-patterns.”
― Abraham Hicks
