A definitive guide to giving a sh*t

Reading Time: 4 minutesSay you’re worried that someone thinks something about you that makes you uncomfortable. Instead of trying to run away from your anxiety, instead, ask what is this situation telling me? And what it’s telling you is that this person’s opinion of you matters to you. But why does it matter? It matters because you want to be liked and accepted. Why do you want to be accepted? Because it feels scary not to be. Will you be ok, even if someone doesn’t like you? What if it is about them and not you? From there, after you’ve answered your own questions and realized why the opinion matters so much, then you can decide maybe you don’t want to care. Maybe if they like you, you still won’t be safe.

Reading Time: 4 minutesI don’t expect you to not be fat phobic. That would be ridiculous. Because we live in a world where it is pervasive and it is woven into the fabric of our existence. It is in my being too. There are moments, still, when I think that that being thin would be THE ANSWER. I don’t pretend otherwise. But I know that line of thinking is a lie. I know that there are places within me that have learned to embody the Self-hatred as a survival and protective mechanism.

Committing to a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, reducing stress, exercising regularly and unplugging from your devices can help keep you healthy, both mentally and physically.

We’re not meant to do this life thing by ourselves.

Reading Time: 4 minutesWe learn and grow and evolve. I had a boss who told everybody every day to keep the faith. He signed every email that way. He ended every phone call that way. Even through terrible tragedy, he kept it up.

None of us have all of the answers. When any of us are navigating some chaos, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. I’m not going to lie: I’ve been there fairly often in my life. Way more so than I’d have liked.

Yet my life iterates too. It iterates as much as my connections do.
