My contribution:
Don't build a wall when there's a door.
Heard it from a friend, who heard it from someone else (idk who). I have this quote saved where I can see it everyday.
i have a pin with the kurt vonnegut quote "we are here on earth to fart around" which sounds silly but it always gets me unserioused when i need it most
that's a good one lol, i read something earlier about things like that being an effective grounding technique that is taught to psyche professionals (for CBT i think). sometimes the mind just needs something silly or absurd enough to reset it from cyclical thoughts
always been a huge fan of "a man never steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man." good to remember that we are capable of change, and in fact unable not to!
oh that is an interesting way to think about it! certainly helps with reframing moments of feeling stuck.
