Feel Good Quotes

feel good quotes

“I feel really good when I haven’t felt good for a long time and then suddenly I feel okay again.  Nothing feels better than this.”  Stephanie Schneider

“It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.” ― Marilyn Monroe

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.” ― Cornelia Funke

“Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.” ― Fred Rogers

““Well!” I exclaimed, as the scale showed I was a pound heavier than the day before. “Isn’t that nice.” I said, walking away with a skip, deciding it was all very trivial anyways, and deciding I would make my day even more wonderful than the lighter day before.” Stephanie Schneider

“Emotions come and go and can't be controlled so there's no reason to worry about them. That in the end, people should be judged by their actions since in the end it was actions that defined everyone.” 
― Nicholas Sparks

“The best way out is always through.” ― Robert Frost

“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen

“I love when it’s me you look at with that laughter in your eyes.  It’s reassuring, as if in letting me know my heart also had colors that you enjoy seeing.  It makes me sparkle inside; I adore the times we sparkle together…to me nothing is better than those.” Stephanie Schneider

“Don't allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily” ― Paulo Coelho

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ―Thích Nhất Hạnh

“The belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be unfailingly lighthearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.” ―Gretchen Rubin

“It amazes me, how many words there are spoken, how many thoughts…yet each speaks freshly to me each time as if they were never once spoken before.”  Stephanie Schneider

“Feelings do not grow old along with the body. Feelings form part of a world I don’t know, but it’s a world where there’s no time, so space, no frontiers.” ― Paulo Coelho

“Because I trust in the ever-changing climate of the heart. (At least, today I feel that way.) I think it is necessary to have many experiences for the sake of feeling something; for the sake of being challenged, and for the sake of being expressive, to offer something to someone else, to learn what we are capable of.” ― Jason Mraz

“Love is a funny thing, isn’t it?  The presence of it can bring you to save a foe, the absence of it can make you hurt your own flesh.”  Stephanie Schneider

“Sometimes I feel as though there are two me's, one coasting directly on top of the other: the superficial me, who nods when she's supposed to nod and says what she's supposed to say, and some other, deeper part, the part that worries and dreams... Most of the time they move along in sync and I hardly notice the split, but sometimes it feels as though I'm two whole different people and I could rip apart at any second.” ― Lauren Oliver

“It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are depressed. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behavior. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are depressed, you need the love of other people, and yet depression fosters actions that destroy that love. Depressed people often stick pins into their own life rafts. The conscious mind can intervene. One is not helpless.” ― Andrew Solomon

“I’ve been looking for answers all of my life.  Yes I realize now these are not what I needed.  No, in fact, all I need is what I’ve decided on, in my heart to believe.  In all the crossing confusion and haste of numerous opinion and stance, my own opinion has become my own boat from where I observe the raging opinions of the sea, relaxed, drinking my lemonade and feeling very amused by it all.”  Stephanie Schneider
