1. The “Eat That Frog” Principle
Don’t put off difficult tasks – start your day with the hardest one.
Choose the time of day when you have the most energy (it’s different for everyone).

2. Setting Boundaries and Practicing Self-Care
Setting boundaries is the way of self-care.
Be kind to yourself: forgive yourself, love yourself.
Without this mindset, external criticism will hurt much (much) more.
It can be harder in family relationships, but that’s exactly where boundary-setting matters most – and it teaches others by example.

3. The Influence of Your Environment and Repeating Patterns
We learn behaviors and attitudes from those around us – often unconsciously.
When we strongly criticize something, we often end up doing the same thing – unless we consciously resist it.

4. Grounding and Staying Connected to Reality
In moments of distraction or mental drifting – it’s worth reconnecting with the earth (both literally and figuratively).
It’s about keeping your feet on the ground and living consciously – being here and now, being present.

5. Postponing Important Decisions Until the Next Day
Sometimes it’s better to sleep on a tough decision, especially when tired – your perspective might shift in the morning.

6. Creating a Daily To-Do List
Write down your tasks by hand – not just your shopping list.
Re-write unfinished tasks each day – it helps keep your priorities clear.
Visualize your goal – repeat affirmations, imagine achieving what you want.

7. Working with Fear
Everyone feels fear – it’s natural.
The goal isn’t to eliminate fear, but not to let it control you.
If you stand on your fear and let it dominate, it grows. But if you acknowledge it and act anyway – it shrinks.
