You are not your mistakes.

You are not "stupid", "unworthy", "undeserving" etc. just because a decision you made at some point turned out not to be the best.

Learn from your mistakes and leave them behind.

Don't put unpleasant things off. Whether it's finishing a project, having an unpleasant conversation, cleaning your house, etc. If it's on your mind, you'll feel so much better and freer when it's done.

Don't buy too much into the ideas of masculinity and femininity. There's nothing inherently masculine about exercise, car repair, sports or any number of other "manly" things.
There's also nothing inherently feminine about cooking, cleaning, or the arts.
There's nothing wrong with a woman knowing how to change the oil in her car, or a man who can appreciate the beauty of field of flowers.

One of the best lessons in life that you need to learn in life is setting healthy boundaries especially if you are around toxic people.

Regardless of whether they are family members, or co-workers, being around toxic people leads to arguments, high blood pressure, and a negative attitude. If toxic people have to be in your life, you need to limit the capacity. Setting healthy boundaries and sticking to them will pay off in the long run.

There are people in your life right now who love you for who you are. And if the "you" they love changes, they may well choose to abandon that love. It's cold, but it can happen even with the people you have been closest to for the longest time.

Self-reliance is the most valuable trait you can have. Learn how to take care of yourself and address your needs. DO NOT put yourself in a position where you have to depend on others to make you or your life better. Learn how to enjoy your own company, like going to movies, etc. alone. Your ability to have a good day should not be hampered because there is not another person with you at the moment. Make yourself responsible for your contentment and happiness.

If you have a car accident and your neck hurts, don't be brave: SAY IT! Tell the police and paramedics. The sooner you have a cervical collar, the sooner you will heal and you will not have complications later. And THAT is not something we are taught at school.

Learn to cook, at least the basics. Everybody eats so everybody needs to cook. Mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, just about every sandwich can be grilled to avoid being a boring sandwich. It's nice being able to whip up a tasty meal.

Things are rarely black and white and there is always a huge grey zone dictacted by circumstances surrounding them.

Nowadays we have the means to inform us about basically everything through access to the internet and gathering validated facts before forming an opinion on something is easier than ever. My advise would be that doing that should become a more common practice overall, especially if it comes to social and political topics (for ALL sides of the spectrum).

Speaking of politics: It's OK to have different opinions on different topics, too - Being conservative about one thing doesn't mean not having a liberal opinion about another. Seperating different subjects instead of generalising them under one mindset should be something people should do more as well instead of seeing everybody disagreeing on one thing as absolute enemy in all regards.

If you do something stupid and/or embarrassing in front of people, learn to laugh it off. I once walked into the business manager's office at the small agency I worked at to ask him a question. The head of the agency happened to be in there, too. As soon as I walked in, I let out a big fart. Mind you - I am a petite woman. I was horrified, but immediately started laughing, turned around, and walked out.

Don't take everything so personal. Often enough it's just people expressing their emotions in a bad way, without even realizing it. Especially when it is a child doing this. Be the adult. Stay calm and explain the effects of their actions/words on you and if possible, help them find a better way to cope.

I have a few.

It's okay to admit you feel overwhelmed. Not everyone handles stress well. Say something and take a break. It could prevent an accident. If your boss won't let you because they have to find someone to cover you when you say you need it, that's a managerial problem now, not your problem.

You are not a slave to your job. You have the freedom to quit, look for a new job. Heck, you don't have to work the 2 last weeks if you just cannot do it anymore. Never let a toxic employer make you think otherwise.

You are not below anyone and deserve to be treated with the same respect and courtesy as anyone else, regardless of position and how much is in the bank.

Humility is a hard pill to swallow and everyone experiences humility. It's important to learn lessons and feel shame. That is the universe's way of reminding you that you are not more special than anyone else. You may get some leniency or a privilege here and there, but not always.

What job you do is your business. Do not let anyone make you feel less educated, less worthy just because you work any type of job. You are not obligated to reveal that sort of information to someone just because they ask. If you want to, that's okay, too. Same with invasive questions about your pay and health.

Take care of your health. You only have one body and one life.

Clean your home regularly. The more you do simple things like, sweeping the kitchen after you wash the dishes, and vacuuming once a week, or however often you need to, taking out the trash regularly and not leaving food out, can prevent infestations for you and your neighbours.
If you do get an infestation of mice, NEVER put bait traps inside your home. Place them on the outside. Put glue traps, snap traps, live catch traps (whatever you desire) inside, all around the edges and entrances of your home. Stuff steel wool all around the baseboards, in any holes around pipes that go in the wall, check the in-wall air conditioners, and poly-fill any cracks and holes. Spray strong peppermint oil, and put lavender room freshners all around. Check under your bed and look for signs where mice could have chewed. Throw out anything that has yellow crusties. That is old mouse pee. Get pest control to put bait packets in the wall, if you are in an apartment. This will prevent birds and other creatures eating the bait.
It can take weeks to clean up, seal up and freshen up your home. Always check around the baseboards and under furniture before you vacuum. Do not vacuum or sweep up mouse droppings. Treat it as a bio-hazard. Gloves, mask, paper towel, bleach. Spray Nine is also very good at eliminating viruses and bacteria, and eliminating scent trails. Spray Nine does not ruin carpets like bleach, but you may end up wanting to replace flooring eventually. Nothing gets out mice urine stains, no matter what people claim.
Do not assume sounds in your home, such as cupboard doors opening, tapping, knocks in your closet, are because of ghosts. Seriously, check your walls and take a flashlight to the dark corners. I'm sure you'll find the real culprit.

What seems like a minor but sudden bump to the lower back can become a major, long-term injury. The sciatica nerve is delicate and agonizing when injured. It can take months to heal. Same with muscle trauma injuries. It's been over a year and my daughter is still unable to walk for long and sit comfortably. She relies on a cane and is only 22.
