My keywords color is black, which makes sense because Brooklyn peeps always wear too much of it.

"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 in meditation

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.

You already are.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) helps you relax the body, ironically by tensing it first. Start by balling the hands into fists for 5-10 seconds then releasing. Systematically tense and release other muscle groups through the body, noticing the difference. Tense it up! #meditation #mindfulness

I have used the below instructions before to enter the first jhana. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. It seems easier to enter that pleasant state if you set up the conditions for it to naturally arise, but don't try to make it happen per se. Enjoy regardless!
