Preserving your Mental Health
- Do not expect too much from others.
- Never say anything more than necessary.
- Be clear on what you are asking, or what is being asked from you.
- Never brag. Make your accomplishments visible and then let it do all the talking.
- NO is a complete sentence. Don’t be afraid to say it.
- Let go of your need to be perfect. Perfection is a journey, not an outcome.
- Different people will have different opinions. Sop trying to please everyone.
- Keep your emotions in check. They can overpower your intelligence and logic.
- Know your boundaries in relationships. Don’t let others cross it.
- Don’t overthink things. It’s sometimes okay to let things be the way they are.
- “This too shall pass” is a powerful mantra. Works in good times to keep you humble. Works in bad times to kep you hopeful.
- Accept criticism only from those people who you’d go to for seeking advice.
- People don’t care as much as you think they do. That can be painful, but that can be equally liberating.
