Anger alerts us to threatening situations.

That alert is intended to elicit a response.

It's not intended to be harbored indefinitely.

Anger is only as good as the action it effects.

Feel it, accept it, use it, then let it go.

Why carry that burden any longer than necessary?

You've got this.

Life will bring sadness, emptiness, and pain.

Do what you can to get through it.

Reflect on why you're feeling how you're feeling.

Explore ways to resolve or address whatever you find.

Reach out for help if you need help.

Put one foot in front of the other.

Keep showing up.

You've got this.

We let worries over the future and regrets over the past ruin the present.

Yet, these worries and regrets are often out of our hands.

If there's something to be done, do it.

Otherwise, allow yourself to have peace.

Focus on what's real and right now.

If you're okay, be okay.

You've got this.

Some of us have only commitments that bring us deep satisfaction.

We don't need or want time off.

Others of us feel pressure, often self-imposed, to always produce.

We end up tired, stressed, and ineffective.

Rest is often best for us and our obligations.

It's okay to relax.

You've got this.

Overwhelm is one reason many of us never get started.

Even if we do get started, it can drive us to quit.

We often see all there is to do and we feel like we have to do it all at once.

Yet, it's impossible to do everything at once, even if we want to.

Take one step at a time.

You've got this.

Many of us push things off until the last minute.

We struggle without that external pressure.

This pattern can indicate that we see little benefit in our work.

Yet, this is often a matter of perspective.

Seek value in your efforts.

If there's truly none to find, change them.

You've got this.

Some efforts seem too big to tackle.

We see their potential benefits, but we never take action.

Often, we fear making mistakes or facing criticism.

Yet, they are unavoidable.

Mistakes and criticism are facts of life.

Meet them on your own terms, in pursuit of your best self.

Dreams and aspirations only take you so far.

Eventually, they become simply distraction.

While useful at times, distraction can keep us from truly living.

Break those dreams and aspirations into small steps.

Then, get to work.

You might find the work itself quite satisfying.

You've got this.

At times, getting every little detail right is necessary.

Often, though, we attend so much to the details that we miss the big picture.

Then, we realize we've misused our most precious resource, our time.

This can be a major source of regret.

Learn to work toward good enough.

You've got this.

Life often finds a way to upend our routines.

This can serve as a source of stress or anxiety for many of us.

If we're otherwise consistent, though, the overall impact of such deviations is rarely significant.

It's okay to break your routine.

You might even find a better one.
