Daniel Kahneman Quotes

My life day in and day out is accessing my emotions and bringing them to the forefront.

Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.

The way you think influences the way you feel, and the way you feel determines how you act.

You feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you are thinking at this moment.

The key is your thoughts and feelings, and you have been holding the key in your hand all of your life.

Our thoughts are certainly part of us; they come from us, but we are not our thoughts. Have you ever woken up in the morning and said to yourself, 'I am not going to think today; I am too tired'? No, of course not. Just as breathing happens and is constant, thoughts happen, and they are also constant.

We are not a victim of our emotions or thoughts. We can understand our triggers and use them as tools to help us respond more objectively.

When you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

I'm in my mind a lot. I live there.

I try and stay positive; being negative isn't good for my personality. I don't just bring myself down, I bring everyone around me down. It's like a dark cloud, 'Uh oh, here we go,' and have to snap out of it.

I just want to live each moment, but it's kind of hard to do that when you are asked to analyze yourself constantly. But it's also good in that you are forced to think about things that you don't ordinarily think about. I think it's strange.

Your heart is very much connected to your mind.

Generally speaking, I think it's a good idea to stay conscious of any kind of energy or emotion that you're generating, whether it's at the end of a work day or just in your everyday life.

If you think negatively, it's hard to get out of tense moments.

Mindfulness can help people of any age. That's because we become what we think.

I have really focused on mindfulness. That helps me make better choices both physically, psychologically, and emotionally.

I'm very sensitive; I'm not moody.

Have a good sense of perspective and be able to snap yourself out of bad moods, as we often wind ourselves up about the silliest things.

One of the few blessings of living in an age of anxiety is that we are forced to become aware of ourselves.

Self-awareness includes awareness of your mental realm, which encompasses your thoughts, feelings, energy, and emotions.

I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.

A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.

I'm an emotional person. Sometimes I can't help it.

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

If someone decides they're not going to be happy, it's not your problem. You don't have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.
