I’ve learned that fear is simply an illusion based on past experiences that we project into the present and onto the future.

I equate physical activity with happiness not just from the perspective of producing endorphins but also from the perspective of really moving through emotions and getting stagnant energy to move through our body.

Own your joy so that you can be happier and bring more energy to the world. That ripple effect works on a quantum level. It brings about changes in the world.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
You'll realize the transformation is not for you alone. You'll learn that you're here to use this gift to shine light on the dark world around you. You become a miracle worker in the world. As you begin to understand how love is crucial to the healing of the world, your miracle work will take on a whole new meaning.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
The word 'guru' is very loaded, so I would never refer to myself that way. I see myself as a teacher.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
The truth is that fear cannot coexist with love. Therefore, we must learn how to dissolve all boundaries with love by taking responsibility for our own energy. In doing so, we'll raise the energy around us.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
You let go of the past, and stop bringing the past into the present and replaying it into the future. You release guilt, shame, and you can create an entirely new pattern for yourself.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
When we function from a fearful, low-level energetic state, our thoughts and energy can literally pollute the world.

Inside we are all Golden Buddha's, but we grew to believe we were made of clay. Our ego's false perceptions led us to grow into a belief system that covered our inner light. We've spent years, maybe decades, masking our truth. Now it's time to embrace our light and reconnect with our Golden Buddha within.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
It's very easy to look for happiness outside ourselves; in a relationship, a dream job, or the perfect body weight. When we chase happiness externally, we're simply looking for God in all the wrong places. The outside search is based on false projections we place on the world. These projections build up a wall against true happiness, which lies within us.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
Putting your well-being first - like putting your oxygen mask on before you help the person next to you - that really benefits all your relationships.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
If you're stuck in traffic, call a friend or listen to a favorite podcast. If you're waiting in a long line, make friends with a person in line with you. There are lots of ways we can change the vibe.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
If you stay in that new flow of positive behavior, it's hard to revert back to old patterns. But if you do fall off, just forgive yourself, recover quickly, and get right back on.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
Most people don't walk around the tools to process pain and fear, that kind of discomfort. In most cases, it's unbearable to look at it, feel it, and/or address it. It's why I'm such a fan of self-help books.

We're not going to stop trying to live big. It's about transforming your stress so that it doesn't take over. The first step is to realize that it is there and that you are trying to outrun your fear.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
First you have to witness that you are stressing out: Oh, my trigger is here. The news is stressing me out or This line is so long. Let yourself feel it. You don't want to spiritually bypass these problems. Give yourself a couple of minutes to sit in the feeling. Acceptance sets you free from the stress of expectation.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
The practice of being on a spiritual path isn't about being the best meditator or the kindest possible person or the most enlightened. The practice is about surrendering to love as often as possible.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
Much of our anxiety and stress comes when we're focused on fear and disconnected from the voice of our inner guide.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
I believe in any kind of personal growth practice that can help you gather the tools that you can then apply to resentment, anger, pain, and rage in order to heal your past resentments toward yourself and others, and then deal with them in the moment so you don't carry them for a decade or more.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
I believe that simple, consistent shifts in our thinking and actions can lead to the miraculous in all aspects of our daily lives, including our relationships, finances, bodies, and self-image.

Your energy has far more power than you can even imagine. There is energy in your spoken words, in your emails, and in your physical presence.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
A miracle is a shift in perception. The moment that we choose to perceive our life with love, we can create miraculous change.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
Neglecting passion blocks creative flow. When you're passionate, you're energized. Likewise, when you lack passion, your energy is low and unproductive. Energy is everything when it comes to being successful.
Gabrielle Bernstein -
Dreams are the way to unfulfilled wishes in the individual; visions are the way to unfulfilled dreams in mankind.
