1. Other peoples’ expectations for you. At the end of the day, it’s your life not theirs - so just be yourself, and set your own personal goals.

2. What other people say and do. It’s not up to us to control other people, or to change how they act, or to influence their decisions.

3. Aiming for perfection. It’s unrealistic to aim for perfection. You’ll likely be frustrated and discouraged all the time.

4. Getting it wrong. We all make mistakes in our journey through this life. That’s just part of learning, and part of being human.

5. Fitting in. Although social skills matter, and it’s good to fit in, you need to be yourself - a unique and special person. Also, conformity can kill individuality.

6. Being right. This is highly over-rated and can cause a lot of stress. If you’re confident and real you don’t need to prove you’re right!
