They say that experience is what you get when you don't get what you want, but guess what? You get experience either way. If you make a so-called mistake, do what Dory does: Just keep swimming! Whether or not you call it a mistake, you're still learning. #bouncebackability #growth #mindset #emotionalhealth #eft #nlp #chan #findingdory #disneywisdom #warriors #recoverywarrior #learning #makeitwork #proflisa #proflisasays #diaryofafatgirl #wheelchairtowarrior (at Lisa's Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzA0E3cH6-e/?igshid=obe51mk0x3fk

Fat girl selfies changed my life. Fat girl selfies gave me life. Visibility is key. It's ok to be fat.

My Women's Studies students are delightful! We celebrated Halloween by watching 'The Burning Times'. We talked about Wicca, the Triple Goddess, and curanderas.

Autumn 2018 is amazing so far! Good weather, great friends, and energizing adventures. Knock wood, no exhaustion. I rest when I need to. I don't overbook myself. I don't have to say 'yes' to everything. #spooniewisdom #spoonie #spoonielife #spoonies #spooniestrong #proflisa #proflisasays https://www.instagram.com/p/BpW9LqvnYlt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mlko2s8nh05g

Whenever I use the term 'neuro-divergent' I think of the 'Divergent' series and suddenly I don't feel so bad. #dauntless #erudite #spoonie #spoonies #spooniewarrior #divergent #sicknotweak #keeptalkingmh #trisprior #amity #abnegation #candor #divergent (at Lisa's Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQq5qclDID/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oxtgeri53b9k

Until Spoon Theory, no one else had explained the trials of chronic illness so simply and so effectively. It’s been accepted across the world as an amazing tool to describe what life with chronic illness is like. The Spoon Theory has done some great things since its inception – one of which is providing a way for people to meet others dealing with illness. A quick search on social media will pull up hundreds of thousands of posts from people who identify as a “Spoonie.” #spoonie #spoontheory #chronicillness #fibro #chronicpain #bipolar #paindisorder #crps #complexregionalpaindisorder #myofascialpain #arthritis https://www.instagram.com/p/BpPjA7hFD6b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ccrw29tofo5u

Love thine enemy, but don't sit in their lap. It is not your duty to let someone kick the shit out of you cuz you were told to turn the other cheek. Compassion sometimes means putting yourself first. #recoverywarrior #recovering #abuserecovery #healingstories #getwell #lovetheskinyourein #beyourownbestfriend #proflisa #proflisasays (at Lisa's Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJ65vhFfvx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iavlb7yl7shv

Teaching in my witch hat! The conical hat is a sign of wisdom. We also meditated. It was a wonderful evening with 16 students at Montclair Adult School! #dharma #adultclasses #adulteducation #lifelonglearning #proflisa #proflisasays (at Free Public Library, Upper Montclair Branch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFLfAfBkTc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x3yxjhlpzlue

Discouragement is the enemy's favorite tool. Shame beats you with it. Just say 'No' to feeling humiliated for existing or for not living up to an unrealistic idea of perfection. #sicknotweak #keeptalkingmh #endthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #eachmindmatters #depression #bipolar #bpd #proflisa #proflisasays (at Lisa's Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9G7zVBFiW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ng0m8juognc9

Where's our door for good things to come into our lives? If we're too full of shitty thoughts about ourselves like how we're not enough, or our minds are too full of people who have put us down, or our hearts are so blocked from trying to prevent ourselves from being hurt again, how will the blessings get in? Maybe it's time to stop hoarding the crap that keeps us stuck, clear a path so the door can actually swing open, and let the fresh air of new possibilities in! #emotionalrecovery #selfesteem #selfworth #selfcare #mentalhealth #positivethinking #depression #overcomingdepression #recoveryquotes #holistic #tao #qigong #nlp #survivorsofabuse #addictionrecovery #abundance #success #proflisa #proflisasays (at Lisa's Place) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoowItPBwnB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6a5g76vscvxu
