7. Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens.8. Try to make one room in your home as beautiful as possible.9.If old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely.10. Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship.11. Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant.12. Be grateful in spite of your suffering.

The body must function like a well rehearsed orchestra. Noise and chaos ensues if each system does not play its role at precisely the right time. Erratic habits of sleeping and eating can interfere with this function.Routine is necessary. Stable and reliable habits must be adopted.Looking at children as an example, those with stable sleeping and eating schedules are delightful and comical and playful, on the other hand those with no stability can be horrible and whiny and nasty to say the least.

Malfunction

Jordan B Peterson initially asks his clinical clients about their sleep. Do they wake up in the morning everyday at approx the same time the typical person wakes up? If the answer is no, fixing that is the first recommendation. Waking up at the same hour every day consistently is a necessity.If the sufferer of anxiety and depression has an unpredictable daily routine, they must regulate this in order to allow for successful treatment.

Sleep Routine

In my kingdom, you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place.

1. Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement.2. Imagine who you could be and then aim single-mindedly at that.3. Do not hide unwanted things in the fog.4. Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated.5. Do not do what you hate.6. Abandon ideology.

Hiding from others also means suppressing and hiding potentialities of the unrealised self.If you won't reveal yourself to others, then you cannot reveal yourself to yourself. You suppress who you are. So much of what you could be will never be forced by necessity to come forward.When you explore boldly, when you voluntarily confront the unknown, you gather information and build your renewed self out of that information.

Manipulating The World

Research has discovered that new genes in the central nervous system turn themselves on when an organism is placed (or places itself) in a new situation.These genes code for new proteins. These proteins are the building blocks for new structures in the brain.You have to say something, go somewhere and do things to get turned on. And if not.. you remain incomplete, and life is too hard for anyone incomplete.

When the wakening occurs and the once naive person recognizes in themselves the seeds of evil and monstrosity, and see themselves as dangerous (at least potentially) their fear decreases.They develop more self respect.

Rising Up 

Attend carefully to your posture. Put your desires forward as if you have a right to them.Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous.Encourage the serotonin to flow plentiful through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence.People, including yourself, will start assuming that you are competent and able (or atleast they will not immediately assume the reverse).Emboldened by the positive responses you recieve, you will become less anxious.

Stand up straight with your shoulders back.

The next point to consider is breakfast. Jordan B Peterson recommends a fat and protein heavy breakfast as soon as possible upon waking up. No simple carbohydrates and no sugars (as they are digested rapidly and produce a blood-sugar spike and rapid dip).

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER  #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.
