Commandments - Attempt 01

I am so tired of myself lately that I devised a little catalog in order to manipulate myself to become a better me. A me better (by better I mean more realistically) knowing myself, better judging other people, situations and finally to better judge me.

Here it is. It will surely evolve - hence the "Attempt 01" in the title.

1. Learn to ignore yourself when what you feel about yourself turns you down. See if what you feel is a real fact (you could give real arguments for it in a conversation with someone) or is it just something that you feel.
2. Learn to be a mentor to yourself. Fathers and Mothers are not always the best ones. If feelings of low self esteem, little respect to oneself, sadness, disbelief, skepticism, pessimism, etc. dominate your life - your parents/family did not do a good job. See if the bad things that you feel about yourself are really your opinions. I bet that most of the time they're not. They come from someone else in your past.
3. See the good in you. It is not easy but allow it and give it some time.
4. When you fear do ask yourself what is it that you fear. Is it really the thing that you think you are afraid of?
5. Don't let the time just pass. Give it some meaning. Any. Do things.
6. Make plans (start with small, short term) and stick to them.
7. Do not run away from your dreams. You can get there if you wish.
8. Don't think about your dreams all the time. Think of a way to achieve them.
9. Do not let the things or situations turn you down. You control them (especially things). You assign meanings to things and situations and not the other way around.
10. See that people and situations cause you to manipulate yourself into various emotional and intellectual states. All is cool as long as these states are objectively correct (I know it is difficult to discern). But if you see that they're not remember: It is not them (people, situations) who manipulate you but it is you who manipulate yourself to feel something or some way. You can assign different meaning. Draw different conclusions.

....I just read it again. Jesus it sound stupid. I had to let it out though...
