Life’s To Do List – How to Be Confident and Independent

By
Confident Attractive Young Woman Sitting at a Desk

Remind yourself daily that you are not perfect. Nobody is. We all make mistakes. We all have flaws. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have good days and bad days. Don’t let anybody break you down. Be Strong! Follow these steps.

Learn to budget:
·         Pay your bills on time or before the due date, if possible
·         Buy only what you can afford.
·         Pay a little extra on debts when you can to reduce them faster and increase your credit rating.
·         Do not frequent the malls
·         Shop with a list and stick to it as much as possible
·         Use coupons when possible - it is not about being poor or cheap, it is about smart saving.
·         Avoid taking small ticket items on credit
·         Treat yourself every once in a while not all the time
·         Learn the art of denying instant gratification
·         Put some funds aside for emergencies and  watch your money grow

Do not avoid or ignore bills or creditors
·         the situation is not going to go away
·         It will only get worse if you do.
·         Make small arrangements and try to stick to them - let creditors  know if you are unable to keep your arrangement and make new ones with them

Accept your current situation and deal with it:
·         Do not lie to yourself by pretending that things are better than they are.   Yes, we all wish we were rich or have more – but the fact is we aren’t.
·         Don’t follow the Joneses or the whomever?
·         Live within your means
·         Things will get better if you deal with them.

Finally, exercise and laugh a lot.
·    Try to find humour in every situation (even the bad ones if it is even after the dust is settled).
·      Don’t take yourself so seriously or everybody else will.
·      Learn to say yes to yourself and no to others—it may sound selfish, but you won’t be stressed.
·      Be kind and thoughtful.
·      Don’t forget to breathe!

People who understand and manage their life are more confident, and independent and have less stress in their lives.

Be Realistic!

Be Realistic We live in a world where being realistic is a thing of the past and conjures thoughts of mediocrity and cause for alarm in the minds of unrealistic people. It is no wonder we experience so much failure and disappointment in this 21st century.  With Christmas just around the corner, many will be holding unrealistic expectations of gifts to be given and received. Words are taken out of their true context and meaning can

The Three Culprits of Stress and How They Affect Our Lives

By
What is stress? Stress is like water, we all need it to feel alive, but too much of it at one time can cause infallible damage to our health. With that being said, stress in and of itself is neither good nor bad—it is a symptom or byproduct of one's feelings or thoughts of inability to do something that is important, or in anticipation of something great to come. Stress is a state of emotional chaos.   It can and will manifest (or show up) in our bodies as aches and pains and even severe or chronic diseases if the root cause is not dealt with swiftly and appropriately

It's Time to Design Your Days

By
Some days can be hard. To make them more manageable, use a #calendar to plan and design your day to optimize your time. Carve out a set time at the end of every month to visualize what the next month will look like and do your scheduling. At the start of every week, move items into the weekly calendar for a more focused vision. There are several different tools to choose from, such as Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and Slack, which are supported by iCalendar, or the actual paper planners. There are also many other Calendar Apps to help us stay focused and organized: schedule events, create to-do lists and make journal entries all in one place. Begin with a clear vision of how you want each day of the week to look, what you wish to accomplish and how you want to navigate the day: Then set a few mini goals for the day or week ahead. Prioritize tasks in a time slot on your calendar by importance and deadline. Allow for some flexibility in your schedule for unexpected events or delays. Review you...
