"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/

We are scientists of our own minds, see what works for you. That said, certain meditations like ones that examine the thoughts or feelings coming up could amplify them in times of great stress or anxiety, so breathwork or movement based meditation may be more helpful to you in those moments.

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.
