Increase your reaction time. Don't make decisions in the heat of the moment

Consider all the possible biases influencing your decision

Biases can lead to bad decisions, so make sure to be:

They cope with this by being jealous, controlling and attention-seeking. They can't take criticism. They lack empathy.

To reach a healthier level of narcissism, create a sense of self that you CAN love.

This will make you less insecure.

When making decisions, remember to take a step back and consider the bigger picture

Recognize that today's problems are likely the consequences of past actions

Doing nothing is also an option!

Make people agree with your plan as though it was their idea

Even small successes can go to people's heads and make them lose touch with reality

Even at the best of times, be aware of contributing factors as well as your own strengths, weaknesses and limit.

Be realistic.

Don't try to repress anger, as this can lead to...

Instead, first recognize where the anger comes from

Accept healthy levels of aggression and put them to good use
