The number one thing that has helped me is to know who I am, know what I stand for, to know and understand my own identity, deeply, and anchor myself to that when chaos arises.


It’s when I empty my mind and remember who I am and what’s important to me. It’s standing firm in my identity. It’s clearing my head and grounding my energy by anchoring myself to who I am.


That has helped me stay level-headed when I otherwise would have burned out due to overwhelming stress and pressure.


Like having no home and no job and no car, while in a different state with no local connections, during the pandemic, needing to live out of my duffle bag for weeks while I figured sh*t out.


(I ended up landing a job and having my own place in 3 weeks—but that was truly a time when my mental fortitude was tested.)


So yeah, learning how to ground your energy and anchor yourself to your identity. In my opinion, that’s number 1.


After that, it’s making a commitment to improving yourself, in every way. The mind and the body and the heart (emotions) are all connected. Health is holistic. So, making a commitment to move in the direction of growth is important. It means, no matter how bad you may feel your situation is now, it can only get better if you continually work towards improving yourself and your life. Make personal development a part of your values and lifestyle. That has served me very well, and has given me a direction to move towards when I’ve felt lost.


But in order to do that, you also need to commit to being hopeful and optimistic about your ability to change. You have to believe that your circumstances and yourself can change for the better. Whether you can see it or not, you need to believe it. This opens up the way to make it possible.


We would have never made it to the moon if we never thought it was possible. We needed to believe it was possible to get to the moon before we finally were able to.


The same goes for improving your life. You must believe it’s possible, and commit to working towards that.


I hope that helps! 🙂

Learn to idenitfy mentally disturbed people and don't try to have relationships with them or do business with them or make friends with them.

I heard the other day that chewing gum has an effect. There was an experiment among university students where some were given gum to chew for 30 minutes a day and others not. The chewers not only reported a decrease in anxiety but even outperformed their non chewing counterparts on exam results.

Taper the weed to evenings only on weekdays at least. Find discipline through a generative hobby

Be passionate about people you love and things you enjoy doing, and make every day count.
