- Don’t strain too hard or force a poop out, let it come out naturally as possible. Leads to hemorrhoids. I used to poop like it was a sport, learned my lesson after requiring surgery and regular visits to the proctologist. Wipe gently too y’all. Be nice to your buttholes.
- Keep your car maintained and drive it to the ground, no car payments are underrated
- How much just a little bit of exercise improves your health and well-being
- Don’t stay up late for anything for which you would not wake up early.
- You can do everything right and still not win. Some problems don’t have solutions.
- “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it” It’s not enough for something to be said, if it cannot be received. In fact it’s a waste of breath and ultimately ineffective.
- Lower your expectations and let things surprise you. Be present, life’s short.
- What other people think of me isn’t my business and I shouldn’t let it affect me.
- Your worth is not based on whether or not you have a partner, a fancy job, a big house or a new car. Your worth is based in your own happiness and security. At this moment it’s your responsibility to your future self to do everything you can to make sure you are happy and secure. If that means shaking up your life at the core to make yourself happy and get negative life sucking people out of your life, do it. We only get one chance to live this life (as far as I know).
- If someone self identifies as a bitch/ass hole, believe them.
- Always take care of your health first. Nothing and I mean nothing matters more. All three tripods of health: Physical, Mental, and Emotional.
- You would be astonished how much of what’s happening to you requires your active participation. Once you learn that you can just say no and walk away and there’s nothing anyone can do about it you gain an amazing amount of power and self-confidence.
- You have to work to keep friendships and relationships alive.
- If you have a relationship/friendship that centers around an addiction you have a relationship with the addiction, not the person.
- Learn how to accurately identify, deal with and or avoid people with antisocial personality types aka people on the narcissistic/sociopathic/psychopathic spectrums. It’s much more common and inconspicuous than people think- these people can and will ruin your life before you even know it.
