HELLO beloved followers! • I thought I'd go ahead and "introduce" myself, to those who don't know me. Well okay, kinda - I'm a female Carrot 🥕 (duh!) and I regularly struggle with anxious episodes of varying duration and intensity, mostly in social situations. A few years ago, I discovered that I enjoy writing because it gives my mind something to focus on and it can be used to release some of my nervous energy at the same time (total win-win🎉). I'm trying to navigate my daily life with a dash of humour (sadly, sometimes the self-deprecating kind, but I'm working on it!) and a big portion of honesty, therefore hopefully avoiding all sorts of BS (=bullsh*t), including my own (which is clearly not to be underestimated by the way😐). I regularly share bits and pieces of my journey on my blog (link in bio!), which I hope you'll enjoy reading😇. If you do, feel free to send me your thoughts, I'm always happy to hear from you🙏💜! Oh, and I'm from Luxembourg, which is a tiny but awesome country in central Europe😄. • • • • #blogposts #blog #anxiety #socialanxiety #honesty #nomorebs #humour #writing #dowhatyoulove #Luxembourg #Luxembourgishblogger

° INADEQUACY OVERLOAD ° My newest blog post is about the occasional feeling of being inadequate when faced with laid-back, non anxious people.

° ASSUME GOOD INTENT ° Keep reminding yourself of this and implement it in your daily life to reduce anxiety levels🙌. 🥕 • #Repost @melrobbinslive (@get_repost) ・・・ I’ve got a challenge for you today in #MindsetReset: I want you to assume GOOD intent. So today when your friend takes a few hours to text you back, instead of thinking “wow what did I do wrong? Are they mad at me? Why AREN’T they texting me back?” Think: “they’re just busy. They’ll get back to me when they can.” It’s a game changer. Do this for every situation where you automatically go to the worst case scenario. The guy who cuts you off in traffic on the way to work, the barista who gets your coffee order wrong, the boss that sends your a harsh e-mail. Assume GOOD intent, and watch how much better your day is. What’s something that happens in your life that automatically makes you go to the worst case scenario? Let’s share some down below and work on helping each other with good intentioned thoughts instead ❤️

I absolutely recommend reading this book by @theangrytherapist which is 100% relatable 🙏. It's a great reminder of all the things you may already have known but keep forgetting when life gets busy. • YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS. Keep that in mind💪. 🥕 • • • • #nobs #theangrytherapist #findyourtruth #anxiety #mentalhealth #blog #blogposts #selfcare

° HELLO OLD FRIEND ° I wrote a letter to an old friend of mine who goes by the name of Anxiety. We've had some good (AKA productive) times but every now and then, Anxiety needs to be told to back the f*ck off. ➡️ Link in bio 🥕 • • • • #anxiety #blog #blogposts #mentalhealth #selfcare #dowhatyoulove #coping #copingmechanism #sleep #appetite #lettertoanxiety
