  1. You are not the voice in your head. You are the one who observes it.
  2. If you can’t control it, let it be. If you can, do something about it.
  3. No one owes you anything. You don’t owe anyone anything.
  4. Avoid making any decisions until after you’ve gotten out of bed and showered.
  5. Don’t expect something or someone to save you. Do what you can to save yourself.
  6. The less you use social media, the better the day becomes.
  7. You don’t have to argue everything. Sometimes it’s okay to let it go. And if no one agrees with you, it’s okay to stand alone. 
  8. Be kind to everyone, especially yourself.
  9. The longer you go without checking your phone in the morning, the better your day will be.
  10. Have a philosophy or some sort of framework for life and decision-making. Life is way too complex and random to wing it and you are fooling yourself if you think you can.
  11. Make your biggest goals about what you want to be, not what you want to do.
  12. The sooner you learn to handle rejection, the better. Rejection comes in many forms; relationships, friendships, career, self etc.
  13. Always prioritise a healthy sleep cycle and diet.
  14. You sleep better when you avoid electronics for at least an hour before bed.
  15. Reflect often. You’re not who you were in the past and there’s opportunity to learn from the changes in your life.
  16. Find a way to get thoughts out of your head. It doesn’t need to be pretty, just write them down somewhere.
  17. It’s okay to spend time on activities that only service the purpose of joy.
  18. You doubt yourself on the things you most seek validation for, usually from a particular person or group. Ask yourself first, why do I need validation for this?
  19. Keep healthy. When you’re fit and eat well, you are happier and more productive.
  20. Be someone people want to be around. Let go of language and behaviour that impact this; argumentativeness, snobbishness, self-deprecation, condescending tones.
  21. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, support you and want you to succeed.
  22. Listen with the intent to learn and empathise. You can benefit from responding after consideration, not immediately.
  23. You choose how you react to your experiences. Choose wisely.
  24. Stand up for your morals and ethics. Speak up for those who cannot.
  25. Ask yourself; what could you do, that you would do, to make life better?
  26. Ask for help.
  27. Remember your purpose.
  28. Sacrifice. Delay gratification. Share. These are synonymous and they must be lived.
  29. If you don’t have time to do it right, what makes you think you have time to do it over?
