This is my whole brain all the time.
Stressing myself trying to figure out the right wording for a text message knowing damn well the recipient won't give a shit

My keywords color is black, which makes sense because Brooklyn peeps always wear too much of it.

"Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins is a succinct re-packaging of letting go. Say "Let them", instead of owning the words and actions of others. Say "Let me" to yourself, to own what you can control -- the responses you choose to care for yourself, or to be generous within your current capacity.

From "Win The Inside Game" by Steve Magness. This. I've started to regularly "update my predictive systems" when reality keeps not conforming to the fantasy I had about myself or others.

Duck Meditation: close your eyes and visualize yourself as a mallard idly paddling in an undisturbed pond. Intrusive thoughts, self judgements, external pressure, all turn to drops of water that roll right off your back. The world is wet but you stay dry, floating effortlessly. Quack. #mindfulness

What would you recommend to specifically target stress and anxiety. Meditation or Breath-work? If you had only time to do one. https://old.reddit.com/r/Meditation/comments/1k6q6e6/what_would_you_recommend_to_specifically_target/

I’m not here to prove my worth.
I’m here to remember it.

You don’t have to hustle for your value.
You don’t have to over-give to be enough.
You already are.

✨ For deeper nervous system support, my free “Stress and Anxiety Buster” 5 min meditation is at the link in my bio.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) helps you relax the body, ironically by tensing it first. Start by balling the hands into fists for 5-10 seconds then releasing. Systematically tense and release other muscle groups through the body, noticing the difference. Tense it up! #meditation #mindfulness
