consider your general level of wisdom and without fail find it sorely lacking
drink a lot of water when your mood gets low

scream if you have to, just not at somebody
get a fucking hobby, and don’t be ashamed about it
take your heart out for a walk; live a little, go above 100 bpm
be responsible for something living. if not a child, get a fish. or a dog
return your cable box and if you must have tv, go to the library for dvds
yes. read. anyone who said “don’t you get any ideas” probably never read
when your ears ring, sing along
it is impossible to be bored. if you are bored, it’s only your own fault
when you become angry, investigate yourself. despite the wrong done to you, it’s never worth becoming mindless
no expectations = greatly reduced disappointments and increased delight in success
