So all of this might look similar to shit you’d find in a self help book. Except I won’t tell you to write down ten positive things that happened to you today, or refer to quantum physics or epigenics when i’m trying to tell you to keep your self happy, and I won’t force you to drink green tea to make your woes go away.
But I will tell you to eats lots of fiber, because fiber is awesome.
But seriously
I haven’t been the happiest, most self confident person on the block. But in the recent year, i’ve come far. I grew back a fucking spine, and I can go through my days with a smile on my face. I’m smiling as I write this now. This is a collection of random advice that I’ve found from friends, family, myself, and even on the internet. I’ve followed through with this advice many times over with great results
Don’t get so angry at your friends. Chances are, if they are your real friends, you don’t have to, and you’re probably being a drama queen. Most relationship troubles have been solved by, believe it or not: BEING ADULT, AND TALKING IT OUT.
Don’t let your pride get in the way of keeping your real friends.
Forgive and forget. I’ve been raised to be the better person, regardless if I think I am right or wrong. I always, ALWAYS, apologize if I find that I am acting unadult, whether or not I think I was right in doing so. I’ve done so since I was a little boy.
Not just laughter, but having a good time in general is really the best medicine. Sometimes, if you think things are going down in your life, you can just find something you like doing, with a few friends, and things will start looking up.
Never ever let yourself get down over something you can’t control. If you think you can’t help it, try doing something similar to the above paragraph. DO IT!
If you’re afraid of trying something new, just remember that if you’ve got nothing to lose, you can give it a shot. You just might like what you are doing.
Keep yourself maintained. And when i say maintained, I mean everything from keeping yourself physically fit and clean to a confident mentality and peace of mind. It’s not easy, but nothing worth having comes easy. And trust me, a maintained self is worth having.
Chances are, even if you are looking down at life, you’re doing better than you think. Keep up the good work, and tell yourself you’re doing okay.
Focusing on the negative is a truly spine breaking disease. So compliment yourself daily. And if you can, compliment someone else. It helps.
Keep in touch with friends. Send them a text, even if it’s a simple “hello, how are you?” or one of those silly forwards that say “send this to your real friends or you WILL DIE AND HAVE BAD LUCK FOREVR!”.
I admit to not following my own advice sometimes, but i’m human, just like you. We make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t keep at it and try better next time, right?
