When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness.

We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.

Jeff Bezos

My heart is numb. It's not broke, it's numb. It's numb because of hard situations.

Usually right when I'm feeling it, right when it's happening, I always find I need to be in some sort of survival mode or mature mom mode, so it always seems to come later that I have the breakdown.

Natalie Maines

B. R. Ambedkar

What I believe is that people have many modes in which they can be. When we live in cities, the one we are in most of the time is the alert mode. The 'take control of things' mode, the 'be careful, watch out' mode, the 'speed' mode - the 'Red Bull' mode, actually. There's nothing wrong with it. It's all part of what we are.

Brian Eno

When I'm pressured, I have to click into survival mode.

You are too much concerned with past and future. It is all due to your longing to continue, to protect yourself against extinction. And as you want to continue, you want others to keep you company, hence your concern with their survival. But what you call survival is but the survival of a dream.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

I've never meditated for a moment in my life. I don't know how it works. But one of the things you have to do to put yourself in the meditating mode is stop narrating yourself to yourself.

Aleksandar Hemon

People are all vulnerable in so many different ways. We go into survival mode a lot of times.

Malin Akerman

The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.

Deepak Chopra

He'd been numb a long time, years. All his nights down Ninsei, his nights with Linda, numb in bed and numb at the cold sweating center of every drug deal. But now he'd found this warm thing, this chip of murder. Meat, some part of him said. It's the meat talking, ignore it.
