'Changing ourselves to mimic another is toxic to our own body, as it requires us to completely adjust ourselves to someone else's rhythm, pace and quality. No wonder we feel exhausted afterwards…' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'No matter what we think or say our body will communicate to us whether how we are living is truly working. This is a great blessing to be appreciated as it means we are limited in how much we can stray from what is true…' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Doing things just to fit in is a common one. How often do we over-ride what we are feeling and just go along with things to avoid a potential reaction from another?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'With honesty we cut through so much of the complicated chatter that often abounds in conversation. People can take it or leave it, but it stops allowing what is not supportive to continue being expressed.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we build a true foundation of support within ourselves we naturally feel confident. There is no amount of accolades or material wealth etc. that can substitute for a true foundation.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Inspiration has no push or sell, it does not understate nor does it demand anything of any other. When we are naturally inspired by someone it is pure and we have the space to make the same choices for ourselves, or not.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Escaping from life or its woes never works, we must all come back to what was always there and learn to truly resolve it. Otherwise life is a constant running away but there is no living in that...' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The more we ignore the harder it is to ignore which means we have to keep increasing those things that dull or drown out our awareness about what we are trying to ignore. For many this is a ‘normal’ way of living but what if living like this is far from natural?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The relationship we have with ourselves is the relationship we have with all others. Hence if we are not supporting ourselves we cannot truly support another.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we give power to our hurts we completely lose true perspective and become narrow in our vision. This completely colours everything we see and dominates our every move.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Quality knows no bounds and hence true quality in expression impacts all. The question is...what is the quality of expression are we contributing on a daily basis?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When truth is fully expressed there is such a level of transparency that allows everyone a full opportunity to embrace what is being presented, or not. However if we hold back expressing what is true because we perceive another cannot handle this level of transparency this is pure judgement and not actually presenting any true opportunity for anyone.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we do not speak up we swallow abuse and then attempt to construct a lifestyle to manage the symptoms.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'If tenderness was the established benchmark for a society, anything less than this would simply not be allowed to continue. Furthermore, a tender world cannot be written off as some kind of fantasy utopia given that if one can choose to be tender then many if not all can. Is it possible that the 'utopia thinking’ is simply a way to avoid taking responsibility for the choices we are making on a daily basis?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'It is very unusual to meet someone who doesn't judge you and simply allows you the space to be yourself. Most relationships are based on having certain conditions met even when it looks like there are no conditions.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
