I read it somewhere:
- Love yourself first
- See your problems as opportunities to grow and become a wiser person
- Seek ways to find creative solutions for your personal challenges
- Compartmentalize your problems
- Learn to laugh at yourself
- Do several acts of kindness each day
- Empathize with others but don’t absorb their problems
- Learn to compartmentalize your most difficult struggles
- Maintain your core values and be confident about adhering to them
- Seek advise but always make your own decisions and be accountable for them
- Know it’s ok to leave a job if there’s an unhealthy corporate culture
- Accept there isn’t a perfect resolution for every conflict and not every conflict warrants indefinite energy to solve
- Seek feedback from a wise mentor
- Embrace your positive traits so you can confidently admit to the negative ones and work at changing them
- Reach out to your network for support and reciprocate support to others
- Let go of a dysfunctional relationships
- Give others the benefit of the doubt
- Surround yourself with other happy people
- Drop unhappy behaviours
- Don’t think there’s a resolution for every problem or conflict
- Don’t stubbornly persist in a fundamentally dysfunctional relationship
- Don’t deny your core values and submit yourself to someone’s who contradicts yours
- Let go of notion that you can manage and fix everyone else’s problems
- Let go of fake friendships (ones that aren’t reciprocal) or ones that force you to abandon your values
- Don’t assume you’re the only one who has struggles and problems
- The closer you look into people’s lives you’ll find that everyone has challenges large and small and they surface at different periods of their lives
- Don’t hold grudges
- Don’t remain in an unhealthy corporate culture that stifles your creativity
- Don’t allow others who know less than you influence your decisions
- Don’t persist in defending your negative traits or negative thoughts
- Don’t avoid feedback of all kinds
- Don’t decline support from your network
