Surround yourself with people you truly enjoy being in the company of and stop being judgemental (including yourself), choose being happy over being right

Say ‘thank you’, Smile more and be kind

Be comfortable with silence and listen to understand, not to respond or retort

Prioritize yourself and procrastinate only when absolutely essential

Be Mindful - Feel your breath
