It's like they have some sort of radar the moment you've begun to move on, right? I've polled so many women while writing this last book and it's some crazy sort of phenomenon that occurs the moment we begin to move on and inch toward happiness. Why is this? Why do they come waltzing in the moment we learn to dance alone or with another partner? ⠀ What can you do? 1.) STOP LOOKING FOR SIGNS. By this I mean stop overanalyzing their words, texts, and timing so that it fits the mold or equation of which you told yourself you would take them back. 2.) IGNORE IT. IGNORE THEM. You moved on. There was a reason you once took steps back and began to walk away. Has that reason you parted ways gone away? Probably not. If it has...3.) LET TIME GO BY. Relationship experts say it takes at a minimum a YEAR to see if someone has truly changed. 'After a year, time becomes the best indicator of continued change' (PsychCentral) and while you're waiting...LIVE WHOLLY and COMPLETELY. Live your life in the meantime. Stop typing their name in the search bar and for the love of God, stop watching their Instastory. Life waits for no one. ⠀ ⠀ #quoteoftheday #30tb30 #author #authorsofinstagram #book #bookquotes #hopealcocer #qotd #advice #inspiration #wisdom

Boundaries. They're a thing. How good are you at setting boundaries at work? In your relationship? With your family? How about with your social media followers and friends? Our society has blurred the lines of boundaries zones when it told us to break down walls and boundary zones. It's okay to not reply ASAP to that Facebook messenger chime that just pinged 30 seconds ago. If it's 7 PM and you're at home about to dig into your Seamless delivery, you do not need to respond to that email from your boss right away. You don't have to have every hour booked this weekend to prove that you know how to go out and have a good time. Set some healthy boundaries and take time to take a step back and decompress from the world. #quoteoftheday #30tb30 #author #authorsofinstagram #book #bookquotes #hopealcocer #qotd #advice #inspiration #wisdom

Ah, blurry...but beautiful! My #WCW and #wce is my bestie, @sojustinesays. As I prepare to bid NYC adieu in the coming months, I want to highlight and celebrate the New York women in my life who have helped transform me from the broken + lost midwest gal to the healthy + happy Me. Justine is one of those women. She's the friend who floats into wherever we are meeting (that is planned weeks in advance via iCal because of our schedules, I might add) and gushes with happiness and joy as I tell her the latest in my life. She is supportive, she challenges me, and she is the friend who celebrates all of my successes, even the smallest ones. ⠀ I am in constant awe of all of that this woman accomplishes day after day. She spends literally all of her time helping others whether it be through a charity, her job, or within her community (and all while battling a chronic illness). I am inspired by her daily. I will miss you, Queen JBS. (at Brooklyn, New York)

I have lost count of the years and moments I have spent trying to validate my own worth based on the opinions and love received from others. Save your heart + soul the exhaustion and begin the journey to love yourself.

When I came to @jillmars_ with my book idea (the cover with the Hope looking girl on it) she was 💯 willing to design that and move forward with it, however she asked me to trust her and allow her to show me another way to potentially go with my book. So she did her thang...and this cover was born. I’m not a graphic designer by ANY means, and so it was so valuable to have an expert direct and guide me. Tip of the day: #delegate to the expert, or those who can do it better than you so you can work on what you’re truly good at. Thank you again for the artistic direction, Jillian!! 🖤#Repost @jillmars_ ・・・ It’s here!! 📖 🎉 @hopealcocer, thank you for trusting in my vision for the cover design and cheers to you and your books success! . . 30 Things Before 30 is now available through Amazon and Barnes&Noble! #30tb30 #HopeAlcocer #BookCoverDesign #SheDesignsBooks

I’m treasuring every moment in my last year in this dysfunctional but passionate relationship with the city of my dreams— the dreams I have had since I was a little girl. We did it, we’re still doing it, and you will always have my heart. 🖤 (at New York, New York)

I can't wait for you guys to read my upcoming book! 30 Things Before 30, out in March!  This book explores thirty different lessons and notions that I’ve learned before blowing out the candles on my 30th birthday cake. They’re fun, raw, yet important lessons of love and career, sex and status, health and wellness, family and f*ck boys, and most importantly— the pursuit of genuine self-love and finding true happiness. #30TB30
