• You are not a helpless victim of your own thoughts, but rather a master of your mind. What do you need to let go of? Take a deep breath, relax, and say to yourself, 'I am willing to let go. I release. I let go. I release all tension. I release all fear. I release all anger. I release all guilt. I release all sadness. I let go of all old limitations. I let go, and I am at peace. I am at peace with myself. I am at peace with the process of life. I am safe.'

• The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do.

• According
  to my own experience, the highest level of inner calm comes from the
  development of love and compassion. The more concerned we are with the
  happiness of others, the more we increase our own well-being.
  Friendliness and warmth towards others allow us to relax and help us to
  dispel any sense of fear or insecurity so we can overcome whatever
  obstacles we face.

  Dalai Lama
