    “Happiness is your natural state. That means you will return to it on your own if you allow the other feelings you want to experience to come up, be felt, be processed, and not resisted. The less you resist your unhappiness, the happier you will be. It is often just trying too hard to feel one certain way that sets us up for failure.”

    Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 231)

      “You are not supposed to feel happy all of the time. Trying to feel happy all of the time is not the solution; it’s the problem.”

      Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 225)

        “Your emotional backlog is like your email inbox. When you experience emotions, it’s as though you’re getting little messages from your body stacking up one at a time. If you don’t ever open them, you end up with 1,000+ notifications deep, totally overlooking crucial information and important insights that you need to move your life forward.”

        Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You (Page 158)

          “One of the clearest signs that your emotional maturity has blossomed is when you can hold space for your own turbulent emotions without throwing them onto the people around you.”

            “You are angry. Let the feeling settle from within, and think about it. Was it triggered by something seemingly trivial or petty? That is a sure sign that something or someone else is behind it. Perhaps a more uncomfortable emotion is at the source—such as envy or paranoia. You need to look at this square in the eye. Dig below any trigger points to see where they started.”
