Transforming our minds to overcome fear

We all have our own demons and I know it's hard to overcome them immediately. But we need to take our first step to at least try and confront with it. Below are some of my delusional self-talking that I want to document and hopefully will also help some of you struggling out there.

1. Stop comparing ourselves with others, especially those we thought are doing better than us.
   Our life is ours, not any one else's. If we are slacking behind the group that we're in, don't panic and don't give up. Just do our best. Meet our own standard, not the others'. As long as we're doing our best, we don't need to bear their judgments.
2. Let go. It's okay to relax and go wild a little. Everyone needs a break. It's okay to suck sometimes, we don't have to be the hero/high-achiever/the best/the beloved all the time. It's okay to be hated and judged. Just ignore how others view us, and be ourselves. What really matters is not the view of theirs but ours. Everyone can despise us, talk down on us, but never us doing it to ourselves.
3. Put the problem matter in perspective. Most of the time, when we compare our problems to other serious world problems, we realize how trivial our problem is in comparison and feel more competent in handling it.
4. Do what we love. Spare some time to do something that makes us happy, be it listening to music, doing karaokes or sports, or watching movies... anything. We need a balance in our emotions and an escape from the hectic, depressing work that we do everyday.
