• Examine the plus side of being anxious. I’m about to call some people out! Don’t hear judgment, hear confession 🤟. One reason our anxiety hangs out wayyy longer than we’d like is because it’s serving us in a lot of positive ways. Are you the planner, the fixer, or the one that has it all together in your circle? Sometimes assuming that as our identity in all circumstances leads us to rely on anxiety way too much! And we get a lot of praise for being the person doing the most. Try this: for one hour this afternoon turn that identity off. Choose an action in line with your values vs. getting pushed around by your mind 🧠

• Cry it out. Sometimes we are so determined to ‘feel better’ that we forget to feel the uncomfy stuff first. Try this: get a playlist going of a few songs that really connect you to your feelings. Give yourself some space to be down, sad, angry, tearful, whatever you need. After 15 minutes, ease gently back into your life.

Little Women | This reading choice is brought to you by the book club I recently joined. In case you missed the plot in high school (or forgot!), this book was published in 1868 and tells the tale of the 4 March sisters coming of age during the American Civil War. Sometimes you have to stop and read the classics!
