1. Be thankful for what you have. If you just look up to the sky and say thank you every time you experience a moment of happiness, you will automatically be more perceptive to when good things happen to you.
2. Smile, hold your shoulders back, stand up tall. Doing these will help you feel more confident and make you look more poised.
3. Say "well," not "good." Speaking properly has a great affect on how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you.
4. Think of something you can learn from everyone you meet. Especially from those who you dislike and have to deal with on a day to day bases. This will make you appreciate others more and there fore make interaction with others more interesting.
5. Everybody has a story so be open minded with others. Talking to other people and hearing others' unique stories can really open up your eyes to exciting ideas towards life. There is a fulfilling feeling that comes with really listening to somebody and learning for him or her.
6. It's always better to be the bigger person. Handle the naughty with class and absolutely never steep to a level below your intelligence.
7. Don't worry TOO much. A little bit of anxiety can be good, but never allow anxiety to take over your life. Just enjoy life and do the best you can.
8. Don't be afraid to take risks. Not the life-threatening ones, but those that make life exciting. Step out of your comfort zone a bit and just see what happens if you do that thing you have been longing to do. For your own fun.
9. Think of every difficult experience as a lesson or blessing in disguise. Try to grow from hardships. You will end up stronger and more confident in your ability to overcome challenges. Hardships come with life, so all you can do is respond to them to them to the best of your ability.
10. Surround yourself with good people. The people you allow to enter into your life have a great affect on who you are. People tend to mirror the people whom they spend time around, so watch who you spend your time with.
11. There really is nothing to fear but fear itself. Imagine all of the things you could have done if you were not afraid to do them. It really is to think back and say, "Wow, I'm happy I did that," rather than, "I wish I did that."
12. It does not matter what people think. If people have to the time to think of and make fun of others, they are the unfortunate ones. Either way, we are all little specs in the spectrum of things. Just know who you are because that is really all that matters. Act like boss, because you are. At least of your own life.
13. Be nice. Smile at somebody (yes, you can do this without being creepy), hold the door for the person behind you (if they don't say :thank you," just let it roll off of your back and be proud of yourself for making a kind gesture), give a sincere compliment (people love to be appreciated and the person will be grateful for the confidence-booster). By giving to others, we are giving to ourselves. When you do kind for others, we automatically feel good too. Now, this is not to say that we should be nice to make ourselves feel better, but that being kind is beneficial to both the giver and the receiver.
