• Appreciate yourself for being, not doing.
• Praise yourself for taking risks and learning something new rather than for your successes; it will help you cope with failure.
• Try not to constantly compare yourself to others; it invites excessive competition.
• Do not over schedule yourself. Allow time to think, to daydream.
• Keep your expectations realistic.
• Do not hide your abilities.
• Be your own advocate. Support your right to be yourself.
• Accept when you have narrow interests. Or broad.
