TREASURED QUOTES FROM THE BOOK FEELING GOOD BY DAVID D. BURNS
1 min readDec 18, 2022
--
- Sadness is a normal emotion created by realistic perceptions that describe a negative event involving loss or disappointment in an undistorted way.
- But your personal worth is a constant and all the garbage that the world heaps on you doesn’t touch it.
- The most arbitrary way of punishing yourself — I could have done more.
- “As long as I have something to contribute to the well being of myself or others, I am not worthless”.
- You are swimming in deep and turbulent waters if you continue to believe that approval and disapproval are the ultimate yardsticks to measure your worth.
- Do not magnify other people until they are larger than life.
- Do not let love, job define your personal worth.
- The exhilaration comes from the creative process, pulling your ideas together, editing watching clumsy sentences sharpen up, and wondering how you will react to it when you read it.
- Remember to talk back, talk back to your pity party.
- Do not be a love junkie.
