What's your prison?  
Born Free...
Compare down rather than compare up
Self defeating beliefs
Purpose driven people at conference
Self monitoring task...see how often you use should.  If it's enhancing, use it...if not...lose it.
I'm no _____ enough...most common self defeating thought people have.
Duck on the lake analogy
Good or bad emotions?  Emotions are neutral but society tells us they are good or bad.  Pleasant or unpleasant?  It is about the situation and what you do with the emotions.  
Lie flat when experiencing difficult emotions. 

Think about some thought that causes you distress.  Keep it for ten seconds.  Then think about it with a crazy cartoon voice.  It tells us it is just a thought.  Gives us some space ansd become less sucked in.

I notice I am having the thought that...

Screen zoom in and out...change the font etc.

Sing the thought you are having to the tune of happy birthday.  

Use opportunities and see if these strategies help you be a little less focussed on it.

Choose to break out of ...personal courage...the ore you exercise it, the easier it gets and it gets stronger.  Growth mindset or fixed mindset?   Carol Dwerik

The fight best won are the ones with allies.  Not everybody will support you, but some will be your greatest allies.  
Character fitness needs exercise.  It's about progress not perfection.  How heavy is the glass?  Depends how long you hold it for.  That is what stress and pressure are like.  Prolonged stress and pressure...politeness slips from relationships.  Be the best version of yourself as possible.  Do things that enable you to deal with stress and pressure.  Needs to be something that gets you out/in of the moment.  Be deliberate about putting the glass down.  

The stuff between ears are what holds us back.
Believe change is possible
Turn dreams into goals.
Be prepared to work for it
Keep it real
