Last 2 weeks have been a sh$tshow at work, I was a nervous wreck. Today I finally realized that I cannot control what everyone else does or doesn't do, I just need to keep doing my job. Now I feel better.

My breakthrough in therapy came with these words “worrying about a situation will not affect the outcome” - it takes a little bit to get to, but you’re right! You can’t control anyone’s actions but your own, and also you can only control how you react to things. I literally try to “shake off the crazy” when I feel myself getting upset or frustrated

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t
