Read this once for a pick-me-up.

Re-read it daily to realise your fullest potential.

Nothing can hurt you when you know you have nothing to protect.

Self-esteem is an illusion. You can’t damage what is made up. You are unfathomably bigger than the idea you hold of yourself in your mind.

You were already a success the day you were born.

Life is a miracle, and getting here means you already won. Allow the time you’re alive in the world to play, to create and to thrive from a position of realised strength.

Any criticism you receive may seem like an attack, but the perpetrator is always attacking themselves.

It is always a projection rooted in personal insecurity. It is never about you. They are resisting their thoughts about you, not you.

Any ‘stress’ you feel is you responding to your thoughts and feeling your thoughts physically.

The idea that something external caused your stress is a mirage.
