I really like Alexandra Elle (@ Alex_elle) on Instagram and recently bought her new book. Excited to read it.
Thank you for posting these 
I heard this from a wise person here and decided to put it on my chalkboard. This is my map for how to deal with people over the holidays.
I’ll upload a pic when I’m not a ‘new user’ - apparently we can’t upload yet
In the meantime, if you’re up for it, look up “Desiderata”
It only takes a minute or two to read
I hope someone finds it a digs it
I love to hear which part is your favorite
Is this it? I liked speak your truth quietly and clearly. Like don’t be aggressive, but be firm in yourself.
BTW, I am joining this to a mental health thread so more people will see it.
And welcome! 
Yep 
that’s it
I’m glad u like it
My fav is ‘especially do not feign affection’ but also, ‘beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself’
Really, the whole thing is my favorite lol
Anytime I’m having some trouble figuring things out I can read this once or twice a day for awhile if need be and eventually I’ll find a passage that I can apply to the situation
Thanks again
Story of my life and how my body feels…which I always labeled my anxiety! So exciting that I am finding fresh eyes and ways of being me sans judgement and with understanding and care. It has taken a long while, but that is okay. Love the posts!
Yes!! Both shares I felt. Thank you! Cocooning has definitely been activated lately for me.
