Replace rigid "should" with flexible "prefer", lift pressure on yourself and others.

Within you are parts — critic, scared, child. Meet them one by one.

Beneath noisy parts is a calm curious compassionate "Self" — meet it.

Ask 3 who know you to tell you "who you are in their eyes" — discover forgotten self.

Draw self as symbol/animal/scene — discover self unconsciously.

Each month, write 3 behaviors to start, 3 to stop, 3 to continue.

Repeat the same refusal in the same words calmly, no matter how the other person reshapes the pressure.

When triggered, ask self: "what unmet human need?".

Each month's start, search your name on Google and review the first 3 result pages.
