Ride the learning curve
Notice what happens as you observe life experience as an opportunity to learn (or unlearn). At some stages, you may even wonder where the learning curve ends. What happens as you begin to feel there is no beginning or end? What if you imagine whatever you encounter you create as a gift to yourself? What if you do everything with the intention to stretch, to develop resilience, ingenuity and to allow you to see through all that is not really here?
1) Observe emotions need not control you. Take a step back. Observe them, even sing a tune as a way to snap yourself out of the trance. Retain a clear head during situations that would otherwise shake your peace of mind. Know nothing ever does except inside the mind.
2) Be aware of your physiology. The physical body is constantly giving you signs and communicating. Be receptive. What you notice and ignore shapes the evolution of your life.
3) Listen to the heart Be still. Quiet the mind. Imagine places where you feel comfortable just being yourself. Create them and go/be there. Here, you truly listen to heart and soul.
