When we need advice we usually go to two main people… our friends or family. Typically, no one can give you better advice than you’re very own mother. Thanks to my mom, these are the seven pieces of advice I like to live by:
1. Don’t sweat the small stuff
Sometimes there’s just things that you won’t be able to fix, and that’s okay. Don’t let it hold you back. Brush it off, and just keep going!
2. Always stay positive even if things get tough.
Staying positive through everything will always make the situation a little easier to get through! The more positive you are during your tough times, the more positive others will be towards you!
3. Keep a smile on your face
This is so, so, so important. Even if you aren’t having the best day, keep a smile on your face and pretend you are! Who knows, maybe smiling will even make you forgot you’re having a bad day.
4. Pay it forward
Always try to do one good deed for the day… you never know whose life you could end up saving.
5. Take time to de-stress and relax
We all deserve “me” days. Don’t be afraid to have them more often than not! Treat yourself to some pampering… you’ve worked hard.
6. Take a break from electronics and social media… remember to look up and see the world happening in front of you.
Everyone is so glued to their phone now-a-days (including myself) that we forget to experience the real word. Go a day without your phone and see how much of a different it makes in your day.
7. Be happy
ALWAYS be happy.
