Book Review - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Hey all! Jorie and I have been doing book reviews with each other every week for quite a while and we wanted to let you in on the party. We are starting The Let Them Theory this week. Here’s how this works. We read a chapter a week and post what we learned or found interesting and if there’s anything we are going to try and incorporate. It doesn’t matter when you post. Just use this thread and put the chapter number first and then your thoughts. I love this format. Not only do you learn from the book, but you also get to see everyone else’s thoughts and ideas. It’s a win win! When we get close to the end, I will post a poll for the next book!

Chapt 11- I feel that I have integrated a lot of the lessons in this chapter over the last year or so. 2) it’s a good reminder that proximity, timing, energy, are components of friendship. 3) based on the description of the three components, I think the one I struggle with the most is energy. I put a lot of energy into friendships when it is not matched and blame myself if there is a drop in interest.

Ever heard of pendulating?
I had never heard this word before this Tuesday, but it's something I've done all my life.

I find this interesting- when I get anxious particularly in social situations I feel dizzy and makes me feel like I need to dart around. I try to avoid it because it’s socially unacceptable but I like the reframe of internalizing it.

Walking
I love going for walks and just seeing what’s different day to day. It brings me joy. Even if it’s just for 5 minutes. Here’s what I saw today. How are you cultivating some joy in your day!

I like to spend a few minutes looking at something beautiful- art or fashion, reading nonfiction, enjoying a coffee a lone in the early morning.

I definitely use business as a way to set boundaries and keep people out and feel important. I will try to separate business from purpose. Thanks for bringing this idea into the conversation!

The habit of fixing
This is one of the biggest habits that I had to break in order to find some space in my life. Here's one of the ways I interrupted the pattern.
