7. It's Okay To Stay In My Comfort Zone
While it's good to push yourself to try new things every now and then, don't overdo it. You never want to feel like you're pushing yourself too hard.
That's why it's nice to remind yourself that it's okay to stay in your comfort zone. Stressed and don't feel like trying something new today? That's totally okay! And it's essential that you know that too.

8. Failure Is Okay
No one enjoys failing. When you work so hard for something only to be let down in the end, it can be hard getting over that disappointment. But instead of staying down, we encourage you to pick yourself back up. Remind yourself daily that failure is okay. This is an important sentiment that needs to be ingrained in our way of thinking more often.
