#12 Good Choice

"True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice."

#29 Own Worst Critic

Own Worst Critic image

Your best mate has just been dumped by their boyfriend/girlfriend. Do you:

a) Lock them in their room and tell them that they're probably never going to get anyone to love them, ever. They broke everything. Basically, they are a waste of oxygen.

b) Take them out to the cinema (anything except a rom-com) and tell them: better luck next time.

It's a pretty easy choice* but would you pick the same option for yourself as you would your mate?

Next time you notice that you're being down on yourself, check yourself. 'Would I say that to my best friend?' If not, be kinder to yourself.

*the answer was b), best steer well clear of anyone who answered a).

#36 Does my bum look big?

Who is being a better friend: someone who tells the painful truth, or someone who tells little white lies to save you from embarassment?

We're not sure, either.

The difference between constructive criticism and saving someone's feelings is that being constructive shows the other person that you are interested in what they are doing. And that you want to help them get around the problem.

It works both ways; generally try to take criticism constructively too. If someone is giving you their opinion and advice, take the personal out of it, listen and respond to the useful stuff.

Giving constructive criticism

1. Aim to give two positive comments for each negative one.

2. Try to base what you say on a suggestion "another option could be…", "have you thought about…" rather than an instruction.

3. Avoid statements that don't explain why you're saying them: "I don't like it.", "It was fine as it was", "You should do it again."

4. Only include a few points of criticism and stay with the most important ones. Criticism shouldn't be vague, always let the person understand exactly what you mean.

#37 Best Bits

Ask someone you trust what they think you’re best at. It might be that everyone is impressed by something you've been taking for granted.

#40 Talk To Strangers

Talk To Strangers image

Talking to strangers in public places increases happiness by introducing variety and novelty into life. Talking to a stranger in the bus queue, or reading an abandoned letter kicking around on the floor could bring a new opportunity and stimulus outside of your normal everyday routine.

And according to Psychology Today this can cause growth of new brain matter and delay the aging in your brain.

#42 Listen up

Listen up image

Everyone loves to give you their opinion.

Listen to the useful voices, not necessarily the ones that are positive, or those who are negative - but find those pieces of useful advice hidden in all the noise.

Listen to the people who offer you advice that you can actually apply to make things better. And remember who was most helpful so that you can talk to them again in the future.
