It’s no big secret that life is an incredibly tricky thing.
However, before you berate yourself for failing one more time, remember that it’s like that for everyone: Hollywood A-listers, world-class scientists, Instagram influencers who fly to the Seychelles every other weekend, your mom, and even your elderly neighbor who seems so content all the time.
We’re all experiencing life for the very first time, and it would be foolish to believe that we’re able to nail it without encountering a few rocky roads on our way – yet, a few life lessons from those who have gone a long way have never hurt anybody.

When having a discussion with someone you should listen to what they are saying and not think about what you’re going to say when they’re done talking.
I realized that I would never talk to someone the way I talk to myself, it was a little light bulb moment. Self compassion is a long road.
Empathy. If you can empathize with why someone is acting or feeling a way it makes the world easier to navigate. It helps you give grace to others and reduces your stress as well. You also see that not everyone has walked the same path as you and even if they did, they had a different view.
Incremental progress is realistic progress. If you’re only going to find satisfaction in progress that takes large or extreme jumps to achieve, you’ll just find long stretches of depression between a few days of satisfaction.
If you’re fat and lazy (Like I was), you can use your laziness to your advantage by convincing yourself that you’re too lazy to get up and get a snack (I’m still lazy but I’d stopped having to get a snack every few moments thanks to that.)
Always round down your paycheck. You made 433 this week. So 400.
Always round up your bills.
Take you highest monthly bills times 12 and that’s an estimate for how much you need to live.
Then take the lowest pay month and times that by 12. That’s how much you make a year. Roughly.
Bills fluctuate(heat electric etc)and your pay isn’t always the same. IE sick days etc.
This is the difference between what you can buy and what you can afford. If your pay is below or slightly over to those yearly bills you need to cut stuff or another job.
This will help you estimate your financial status before it becomes a bigger problem.
Having a good sleep schedule. Going to bed AROUND the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning. I know this isn’t feasible for everybody but it really changed my life and my productivity through the day
Just stepping back and appreciating the world. Too many operate on autopilot 24/7 that they miss out on simple things.
Exercise is good for keeping your body healthy Not into ripped bodies?, not into team sports or sport culture?, not into gym lifestyle? Exercise anyway, doing something you enjoy, it’s good for you
