"Your mountain is the block between you and the life you want to live. Facing it is also the only path to your freedom and becoming.”

"You start to let go on the day you take one step toward building a new life and then let yourself lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and cry for as many hours as you need."

"Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are." Brianna Wiest

You cannot stay where you stand if you want change your life.

The Deepest Quotes From ‘The Mountain Is You’ By Brianna Wiest

"Healing is going to be hard at first. It is going to mean looking at yourself honestly, maybe for the first time ever. It is going to mean stepping out of your comfort zone so you can leap toward the person you want to be. It is not what makes you more comfortable and idle. It is what conditions you to be more motivated by discomfort than scared of it, and inspired by your still moments more than you use them to forge the chains of worry. Healing is going to change everything, but it has to start with you being willing to feel what you are afraid to feel." Brianna Wiest

Healing is difficult. But it is necessary.

"To trust your gut is not to treat it as an oracle." Brianna Wiest

Your instinct is powerful (but it is not a fortune teller).

"You don’t change in breakthroughs; you change in microshifts."

Change is a slow and steady act of becoming.

"Some of the emotions that are most strongly connected with self-sabotaging behaviors are actually important for us to better understand. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience." Brianna Wiest

Negative emotions=messengers.

"One day, the mountain that was in front of you will be so far behind you, it will barely be visible in the distance. But who you become in learning to climb it? That will stay with you forever. That is the point of the mountain." Brianna Wiest

The mountain is a teacher.

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT SELF-SABOTAGE.Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good.Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb.In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
