Centering, soulful quotes for reconnecting with your true self
The winter time is perfect for self- reflection, self discovery and embracing calm and serenity. Calm quotes are little life lessons that can guide you when it is difficult to find your calm. Reading quotes and affirmations is a quick way for getting into the right state of mind. However, it doesn’t always work that simple. We know. Life can be challenging. Sometimes when you really went to the rough ragged edges and the waters are too troubled around you it is easier to just go and take a nap.
Don’t force finding calm because forcing it will do more bad than good. Sometimes it is Ok to accept that you just can’t get into the good vibes right away. Going outside for a 30 minutes brisk walk can get you into the right mood quicker than sitting and thinking. Sometimes it is better to get out of your mind zone and let nature share it’s calmness with you.
These centering, soulful quotes about finding calm, peace and serenity are collected here to help you cultivate your inner peace. Here are some grounding quotes that I especially like that might bring you also to feel closer to your true selves. I am going to keep adding to the list and I encourage you to please add your own favorite quotes and wisdom words of grounding and reconnecting in the comments section below.

Nikola Tesla

“A fighter, a real strong fighter, should always look dignified and calm, and I believe that any expression of aggression is an expression of weakness. A strong person will not be nervous and will not express aggression towards his opponent. He will be confident in his abilities and his training; then he will face the fight calm and balanced. “
Fedor Emelianenko
“The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.”
Carl Jung
“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
