give up some of my past because there were things that were causing me conflict.
that's a good reminder. i think in general just letting things go and letting of things you have no control over is always a good idea.
if you can change something for the better, do it.
if you can't, let it go as there is nothing you can do and spending emotional energy on it is a waste of time.
meditation really helps me practice this. i'd recommend it to everybody!
great stuff here! maybe you could add a number eleven. "staying away from negative people that bring you down and negative people in general". that's what i'm doing for
