> 7. Ground Your Emotions

Yup. But also - no shame and guilt for experiencing them.

And, your expectations of happiness. Something I’m recently internalizing more than I did in the past: happiness is not a constant state. There are happy moments and unhappy moments in life.

For me, working on recognizing and being ok with the ups and downs has produced the happiest state of my life.
