From Noam Shpancer's blog in Psychology Today, a February 2019 post "Decision-Making for Sound Mental Health: 3 Useful Principles":

• Flexibility over Rigidity — "... [adaptation] to novel or unexpected environmental conditions ... a capacity for learning from experience ... the ability to apply and adjust problem-solving strategies by exploring potential solutions inside a given problem space ... a facility with complexity ..." — and striving for excellence, not perfection
• Compassion over Cruelty — "... kindness ... accept[ing] and respect[ing] ourselves on account of our imperfections ... an attitude of encouragement and support regarding our failings, shortcoming, and disappointments ... a humble realization of our self-limits ..." — and seeing that our freedom and autonomy are bounded
• Approach over Avoidance — realizing that "... not all problems that are faced can be solved, but few problems are solved without being faced ..." — and learning to solve the solvable problems, not all problems

... wise strategies!
