"You're pulling and pulling and every day you're pulling and you can't move that brick wall. So the only thing that's happening is that you're chafing your hands. What if you just drop the rope? I say that to myself. Drop the rope. When I start getting going on trying to solve unsolvable problems, the brick wall is still there. Yet my hands are free."

"People need to find the strength statements, the stress shields I call them, that fit them, that feel right and that they believe. Be the lion instead of the gazelle... Telling yourself, I got this. I can do it. I can get through it. I have what it takes. Those are all good shields."

"This is not a one-time thing. It's a practice. Radical acceptance is something we practice over and over to help us loosen our grip on unwanted situations, on letting them control our well-being and taking up this mental real estate that's so precious, our attention. I'm an expert at this because I'm a caregiver and I often need to refocus from wishing things were different, trying to solve things, to radical acceptance of this is how things are right now."
