First Post! 3 tips on living a better life!

in #life7 years ago

Hi everyone! This is my very first post :) Thanks for stopping by! Come again for more tips on better living :)

Tip 1:
It’s not always about you. Stop reacting and escalating situations with loved ones or colleagues. Step back. Inhale deeply and slowly. Listen to others, be compassionate and validate the other person’s feelings. Most people aren’t complaining or nagging (even though it may come across that way), most people have hurt feelings that need to be expressed.

Tip 2:
Stop putting your work and Internet before people. Those things will be around forever the important people in your life will not. Most people just wanted to be loved more. They want your time. They want your undivided attention. They want you to be a part of their life.

Tip 3:
It’s ok to say I can’t. It’s ok to say I’m not strong enough. It’s ok to lean on other people. It’s ok to be vulnerable. It wasn’t until my Mom’s death last year in 2012 that I finally did this. It feels good to let someone else take care of you. It feels good to let others know I’m human and I can’t do it all. It feels good to let others love me and embrace me during some of my weakest life moments.

Hey @betterliving thanks for the awesome post and welcome to Steemit! I fully agree with you here. #3 definitely resonates the strongest for me. I try to be more and more open and vulnerable with the world around me each day...it's not easy but its the most fulfilling.

Would love to hear your thoughts about my latest video: How To NOT Feel Like S#*$ In the Morning [PART I]. I had a ton of fun making it ;-)
