First things first, you should see yourself not as a statistical unit but as an individual. Rules applicable to a population or a certain sample size applies to a statistical unit. But the fact is no individual is a statistical unit. We might share similar goals and beliefs but we don't necessarily have to walk on the bridge or stick to conventions that others have did. This view of yourself might help you stop making pointless, never ending comparisons with legends and clowns surrounding you.
Secondly, reality exists independent of what you believe or think it is. I know this might sound so self evident for an advise...but I'm sure not everyone acknowledges and identify this fact explicitly in their pursuit of values. This should be the first blow to the Ego. Reality does play by certain rules and the only thing you can do is adapt and only thing you can control is yourself.
Finally, having acknowledged the fact that reality exists independent of your mind the next important thing which you alone can do is a honest and committed self introspection. Re evaluate your values. Accept for who you are; self guilt is the reason for anxiety. Don't spend time hitting the tree with the same old axe you've been using for so long...you might want to spend time sharpening it.
Hit refresh!
