Don't compare yourself to other people. There life might not be a happy and as wonderful as it seems
People only allow you to see what they want you to see.
(I try to follow this one - though not always easy to take your own advice) - Don't keep living a half life and not fully allowing yourself to enjoy it until you are 'thinner' 'have more money to have nicer clothes, makeup' etc.
I look back at photos where at the time I thought I was revolting and think wtaf was I worrying about. But can't for some reason apply that logic to my state of mind now. Something I have to keep working on.
1. Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair - it's fun to do for 10 minutes, but it won't get you anywhere.
2. This too shall pass
3. A life lived in fear, is a life half lived
4. Don't eat yellow snow.
Say yes to your kids rather than no. As in kid says "can I watch TV/Youtube? etc" rather than saying "no you've got homework to do", say "yes you can as soon as you've done your homework". Obviously doesn't work in every situation but it does work most of the time.
Meaning that usually, if it’s meant to be it will eventually work out in the end. It’s served me well - a reminder that pushing and forcing things to work isn’t always the right way and sometimes you just have to let things happen and fall naturally into place.
When I was in my early 20s I'd always agonise over ever having a negative thought about a situation or another person, believing I must be the only one who felt that way - until an old colleague pointed out that "chances are if you're thinking it then others will be too". This advice really boosted my confidence in my own beliefs and helped me stop doubting my judgement so much.
The other best piece of advice I received was from my dad who told me to always remember that there's such thing as a free lunch.
