5. Establish Boundaries:
Know your limits. Respect your energy and time. Don’t feel compelled to meet everyone’s expectations.
It’s okay to say no, and it’s okay to prioritize yourself.

6. Learn and Grow:
See every challenge as a learning opportunity.
Every struggle is a teacher in disguise, a compass pointing to untapped potentials and unseen paths. In learning, we find purpose and direction.

Cherish the simple pleasures.
A cup of tea,
a beautiful sunset,

During those fleeting moments, find enduring happiness.
