Ten tips I’ve been given:

• Don't take what happens to you personally. If you did genuinely provoke, cause, or contribute to a negative situation, review your conduct, apologise, and amend your behaviour going forward. Then drop the matter.
• Don't script your life: instead go with the flow, however unexpected.
• Catastrophisation is irrational and habit-forming. Don't indulge it.
• Don't have expectations. If you must have them, take responsibility for them by communicating them clearly and politely and accept being perceived as bossy.
• When making decisions, stop waiting for superstitious signs or bizarre coincidences, and instead embrace prayer, evidence, reason, consultation, and detachment.
• Don't avoid risk at all cost. Risks are sometimes reasonable to take. Be prepared for some things to go wrong. If they do, admit it promptly and recalibrate.
• Don't compare your life to that of other people except, occasionally, to use others as a positive example and set a realistic objective. Then work for it.
• Give your time only to those who deserve and respect it.
• Forgive everyone for everything.
• Give of yourself.
