Toxic Love

I  know a woman who is in love with a man that makes her unhappy. There are
days when her boyfriend wants to spend time with her, but the next time she
sees him he doesn't want to be around her at all. Don't waste your time on toxic
love. The person you love should treat you with respect and make you feel happy.
If he acts like he doesn't want you...Girl let him go!

  It's toxic love if he:

•  Seems to be using you for sex, money, your car, etc.
•  Doesn't act like he cares for you
•  Hurts you physically or verbally  
•  Puts you down
•  Leaves you feeling miserable

Losing Your Temper

Several years ago, I was so upset that I took my anger out on one of my
mother's house plants. I saw the potted plant on the floor, kicked it over,
and stomped the entire thing--dirt and all-- into the carpet. I had lost my
temper.

I wasn't upset at my mom or the plant, I was upset with myself. I hated who
I was. I didn't like my hair, my school, or even the color of my skin. Plus, I
didn't have any friends, so I was very lonely. I didn't know anyone who was
as unhappy as me. I started this blog so I could help the people that feel as
sad as I once was.

When you don't like who you are you're more likely to lose your temper. If
you lose your temper quite often ask yourself this question: "Do I like who I
am?" If the answer is 'no' you must find a way to be happy, because when
you become a happier person you will be less likely to lose your temper. 

My blog post 5 Ways to Build Your Self-esteem Dream, is a good place to
start if you want to like yourself.

5 Ways to Improve Your Mindset

Are you letting negative self-talk stop you from expressing yourself and being
happy? Let today be the day that you improve your mindset.

1. Don't Be Afraid to Talk
      When you're with a group of people you shouldn't just sit there and watch
      everyone else talk. Don't be afraid to join the conversation. Don't worry
      about what other people might think of you, just talk.

2. Focus On Your Strengths
      I believe that everyone is good at something and if you do that something
      every day it will make you happier.

3. Don't Let Criticism Ruin You
      There will always be someone that will criticize you, but you can't let that
      person ruin the way you feel about yourself. You need to stay away from
      this type of person.

4. Spread Positivity
      Help someone feel better about themself and you will feel better too.
      Compliment someone, donate your time, money, or items. Talk to a lonely
      looking person.

5. Try Not to Worry All the Time
      There's no point in worrying, because most situations turn out fine or even
      better than you expected.
    

5 Reasons to Be Confident

1. You'll Make Better Decisions
      When you believe in yourself it's easier to figure out what you should or
      shouldn't do. You also won't worry as much about what other people
      might think of you. When you have confidence, you won't feel like you
      always need someone's approval.

2. You'll Be Nicer
     If you're confident you'll have a more positive attitude and you'll be less
     likely to put other people down. If you put people down all the time you're
     hurting yourself. No one will trust you or want to be around you.

3. You'll Be More Resilient
      You won't let petty situations or petty people upset you. A weak-minded
      and unhappy person can easily be rattled.

4. You'll Feel Good
     When you're happy with yourself life is so much easier, because you see
     things from a more positive point of view. If you don't feel good about
     yourself someone may think you can easily be taken advantage of due to
     your lack of confidence.

5. You'll Look Good
      When you're confident you look better because you smile more. No one
      wants to be around you if you always have a frown on your face.

Butt-Picking

I see it all the time, someone picking their butt. I find it quite gross. It seems to be
an epidemic. Young people.. old people...butt-picking. People picking at the store,
the pizzeria, the park. If it's a public place someone's picking. I don't understand.
Why is this so acceptable? If you pick your butt I'm here to help. 

How to eliminate butt-picking

1. Wash your butt
     Soap and water should do the trick.

2. Wear underwear that fits
     Buy some underwear that do not ride up, so you won't feel the need to dig
     them out.

3. Remember you're in public
     Public places are not for butt-picking.
