When I feel an anxiety spiral I find it really helpful to massage my feet with oil to reground and remind myself that I have a body.

take a moment to identify which bit of the body is holding the most anxiety, and then massage or hold or rub that spot for a while. for me it's usually my arms, and rubbing them like i'm trying 2 warm up helps so so much. also just finding physical ways 2 release the energy that might have built up - singing, dancing, gently tapping your temples, rolling around in bed & kicking all ur limbs around the place....... good @ tiring you out 2 if you're aiming 2 get 2 sleep soon!!!

hi there i'm sorry things have not been kind to u lately. whenever we engage in high stress situations it's very important to bring your body back down once it's all over. while i don't always like to suggest a material solution, acupressure mats have done wonders for me when my body feels tense or stagnant. i like to lay on the spiky mat for a good 20 minutes and maybe do a little meditation while i'm in that position. look into it i really recommend! if the acupressure mat isn't for you, breath work and meditation is always a great option to ground yourself again. there are so many different methods for breath work and different meditations so i'm not sure what would work best for u but i promise incorporating these things into your daily routine, even if it's just 10 min a day, will make u feel worldsss better.

I was a pretty tan kid until around age 12 when I abandoned the outside world for the Internet. When I started modeling at age 14 the extreme paleness i developed as a result of social isolation became part of my commodified aesthetic and I was told to maintain it which I became obsessive about. In August of 2017 I went to Jamaica and wore linen pants, a long sleeve mock neck SPF shirt and a hat nearly the entire time. Over the last few years as I’ve gotten older and recognized the value of actually enjoying my life, I’ve been spending way more time in the sun. I think sun exposure in moderation is good for you.

I’ve noticed since moving to LA that when people are driving in cars they have this sense of urgency to park as close as possible to wherever they’re entering or exiting from. But in New York a very normal occurrence would be struggling to carry two full and tearing grocery bags in my arms while being pummeled with freezing cold sleet for fifteen minutes before walking up five flights of stairs to my apartment. That sucks but also builds a resilience and a welcoming of discomfort that I feel runs deep. Los Angeles weather is primarily sunny and pleasant so simply putting forth a bit more effort to walk more is really not painful at all. I will add that I am horrible at parallel parking and parking in high-intensity environments (like on the street when there’s traffic behind me) so admittedly this practice has also been influenced by my driving around until I find a spot on the end that doesn’t require any quick geometric calculations of wheel turning and reversing - but I do genuinely find the little bit of extra walking helpful for my mental and physical well being.
