-
Focus on your own actions, attitude, and effort—take responsibility for what you can control instead of stressing about what you can’t.
-
Choose how you respond to challenges—direct your reactions toward solutions and positive next steps.
-
Let go of what you can’t control—stop wasting energy on things like other people’s actions, thoughts, feelings, or the weather.
