Refrain from holding onto anger, especially in difficult situations like prison, as it can lead to a destructive lifestyle, disciplinary hardships, and prevent you from experiencing joy and peace.
Engage in meditation by focusing intensely on a single point (like a word or letter) to shut out external distractions, cultivate discipline, and achieve a state of relaxation and mental clarity.
Engage in yoga regularly as it strengthens the mind, body, and spirit, teaches discipline, and soothes the mind, body, and soul, leading to profound personal benefits.
When feeling overwhelmed or needing to process thoughts, intentionally retreat to a quiet, private space (like a room or bathroom) to gather your thoughts, calm your mind, and regain peace.
To navigate challenging social environments, avoid getting entangled in gossip or the affairs of others, and instead, mind your own business and stay focused on your personal conduct.
Maintain a strong belief in positive future outcomes, even during prolonged hardship, and actively look forward to and cherish moments of joy with loved ones.
Engage in practices like yoga to help overcome societal or self-imposed notions (e.g., needing to be an ‘alpha male’) that may not serve your well-being, especially in challenging environments.
Mentally prepare for significant life changes or challenges over a long period, maintaining a clear sense of your true identity and purpose throughout the process.
If you are innocent or believe strongly in your principles, refuse to compromise your integrity or accept limitations (like protective custody) that you feel are unwarranted.
Read books focused on self-improvement to gain insights, learn new perspectives daily, and continuously strive to become a better person.
