"17 Essential Self-Care Tips That Most People Ignore"

| Psychology Thread

When you hear good advice,
you should always do two things:

Take it in and pass it on.

Give yourself an edge with these 18 gems of sage truth that most people ignore.

1. Take time to know yourself.

When you know who you are, you can be wise about:

- Your goals
- Your dreams
- Your standards
- Your convictions

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

| Aristotle

2. Focus brings big results.

The number one reason people give up so fast is that:

They tend to look at how far they still have to go
(instead of how far they have come.)

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.”

| George Lucas

3. Show up fully.

Don't dwell on the past, and don't daydream about the future,

but concentrate on showing up fully in the present moment.

“The future depends on what you do today.”

| Mahatma Gandhi

4. Be patient and persistent.

Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

| Aristotle

5. To get, you have to give.

If you support, guide, and lead others,
if you make contributions to their lives,

You will reap the best rewards.

6. Luck comes from hard work.

Luck happens when hard work and timing and talent intersect.

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

| Seneca

7. Be your best at all times.

You never know what the future will bring,

So always make the best use of the present.

8. Don't try to impress everyone.

The unhappiest people are those who care the most about what other people think.

“Strong people have a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness;
they don’t need the approval of others.”

| Roy T. Bennett

9. Listen to learn.

Learn how to listen.
You can't learn anything when you're talking.

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.

But if you listen, you may learn something new.”

| Dalai Lama

10. No task is beneath you.

Don't put yourself above anyone or anything;

work hard in silence and let success make the noise.

11. You can't always get what you want.

But, as the song says

if you try you may find you get what you need.

12. Don't worry about what other people think.

Personality begins where comparison leaves off.

Be unique. Be memorable. Be confident. Be proud.

“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”

| Lao Tzu

13. Do what is right, not what is easy.

Strength of character leads us to do the right thing,
even when there are easier options.

14. Dreams remain dreams until you take action.

Without action, an idea is just a dream.

“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

| Paulo Coelho

15. Learn something new every day.

Have the mindset of a student.

Never think you are too old to ask questions or know too much to learn something new.

16. Make what is valuable important.

Instead of thinking about what is profitable,
think about what is valuable.

Invest in others and you will grow your portfolio.

17. Believe in yourself.

The way you see yourself is the way you will treat yourself,
and the way you treat yourself is what you become.

"Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward."
