these are some of the things I learned to do to help my self-esteem.
Letting go.

The 24 Happy discoveries:

The insight about rules: When you follow a rule and sometimes it does not give the results you want, do not switch the good rule out, but rather seek to polish and improve the rule so that it works more frequently. Don’t seek to make a rule to work near-perfect or at a 100 %, for life is unpredictable by nature. Accept the approximations rules work in.

The rule of all rules to obey, even if you choose to ignore all rules but only ~this~ one.
Wherever you go, make it the place to be. Whatever you do, make it the thing to be doing. Be in Joy and be cool everywhere and with everyone.
