Well, a new year has come charging in, like it or not, ready for it or not. I say it’s a good time to take a deep breath, get a grip, and reassess — to make sure your mental health and coping skills are in proper working order.
I have a great place to start. It’s the “7 Rules of Life,” written by… nobody seems to know.
The Seven Rules thing has become a meme that is ubiquitous online. Some versions are called “7 Cardinal Rules for Life.”
The wording of the rules varies quite a bit, but all the versions reflect the same basic sentiments: relax, don’t worry so much, be yourself, and remember that time heals.
Ordinarily, I react to stuff like this with an eyeroll, but in this case, the advice is genuinely positive and helpful.
Here’s one version out of the many.
Relax, don’t worry so much, be yourself, and remember that time heals.
Wisdom you can take to the bank.
