#4 Break negative mindsets Negative states of mind make us feel unpeaceful and unhappy. Although they may feel deeply ingrained they are not an intrinsic part of our mind, they are just bad mental habits and can be broken.

#8 Don’t be afraid to fail Failure is a necessary part of learning and growth. Some of our most valued qualities like patience, resilience, humility and compassion are forged in failure. We are just as likely to develop the qualities that really matter through our failures as through our successes. Learn how to let go of fear and develop a learner’s approach to life.

#9 Prioritise Joy It is all too easy to get stuck in a rut of life’s mundane routines or to feel too overloaded to prioritise relaxation and mental peace. Learn how to create a more balanced life that is not in conflict with mental comfort and find joy in the everyday.
