Learn how to say no. The easiest way to get overwhelmed and on your way to a bad mental state is to say yes to everything people ask of you. Learn how to say no to people and your life will be so much easier.

Related to that is to learn how not to give a fuck about anything. The trick there is to learn when to turn that ability on and off. Think of fucks as a limited quantity. If you give a fuck about everything, you won’t have enough fucks to give when it really matters. Conserve your fucks jealously.
