“we all possess the capacity to improve.”

“Emotions are responses to experiences you have in the world, or that you imagine happening, that are meaningful to you; they’re instruments to help you respond to the situation.”

“No matter how painful and overwhelming our emotions can sometimes be, it is essential to remember that we evolved our capacity to experience them for a reason: They help us navigate the world, which is why all emotions are functional, even the ones we don’t like.”

“Emotions aren’t good or bad; they are just information. There is an essential place in our lives for anger, sadness, guilt, grief, and a host of other “negative” emotions when they’re experienced in the right proportions. The absolutist view that to live your best life, you need to rid yourself of negativity is a dangerous myth. Each of our emotions, however unpleasant in the moment, contains a powerful wisdom, shaped by evolution and experience.”

“Disrupting a cascade of negative emotions by distracting is only one way you can use your cognitive control system.”
