You have a choice as to how you live your life. You have a choice as to how you feel about how you live your life. Make choices that serve you, that serve to both better your experience and the quality of your life.

Your fear only holds the power over you that you give to it.

Remember, your behavior is not based on your circumstances. It is based on your decisions.

Remember, thoughts are only thoughts. You can choose to believe them or to not believe them. You can choose to change your perspective. You decide what you give power to. Choose thoughts that are helpful rather than harmful.

Although not always possible, it helps if you can keep a sense of humor. It feels a lot better to laugh it off than to get frustrated, stressed, and upset. Before you dive too deeply into a problem with your emotions, take pause and ask yourself if that is really necessary. Many things are not as important or serious as they may initially seem to be.

You decide what is real to you.

Even if everyone judges you for your mistake, you still have a choice to not judge yourself for it.

It's OK to have negative thoughts, we all have them. Just don't allow yourself to attach to them. You decide how much time, attention, and energy you put into your thoughts. Where do you want to make that investment? Don't you want to invest in something that will help you? Recognize, and make the choice.
