Disclaimer: I am not a doctor of any type so this is all just my thoughts, perspective and personal experiences.

I know some of what I will write you may already know/do but everyone is at the same point in their life so these things I learned in my life may be helpful to someone. If you agree or disagree feel free to let me know but please be respectful and explain your reasoning.

1) Everyone is made up of their own life experiences and the choices they make from those experiences. So keep this in mind whenever you don’t agree with someone. They have a reason for their viewpoint, right or wrong isn’t the question, but why.

2) Everything is not worth your stress, worry, and focus. Things that can’t be changed, people too stubborn to listen, or events outside of your control all deserve no space in your mind. Don’t let things like that get free rent in your head.

3) The only person we can truly change or control is ourselves. Rather it be something you don’t like or some that could be better. If it’s not you then the best you can do is lead by example others have to make the choice themselves to change. If they like who they are and you don’t like who they are then it is just that. But if you don’t like who you are fix it. Be the best you for yourself. If you find that you can’t do it on your own seek help but you yourself have to want the change for the change to be successful.

4) prioritize. When things get too stressful and you feel overwhelmed. Make a list of your woes and put them in order of what needs the most attention/first and go from there. When you can make a plan and organize your thoughts you will feel less like you’re drowning and more in control.

I have others but this is getting long. Sorry for this.
