11 rules to a positive Life - 3

 

9. Its OK to cry

We are human beings, and we have emotions. This is all quite natural. It is quite natural to feel big things deeply, and it’s OK to let it all show. We don’t have to be ashamed of our feelings. It is OK to cry. Sitting on our feelings isn’t a good idea. They just get squashed that way. It’s far better to let them out, deal with them, and then get on with things. If we go through trauma, upsetting experiences, and difficult times, it certainly doesn’t help to be thinking all the time that we have to keep a lid on it or people will think us weak or out of control.

10. Know where your true happiness come from

People get addicted to buying new stuff or falling in love or whatever because they just love that feeling without realizing that they already have it. They have to keep having their “fix” because they think it’s the only way to get that feeling going. The secret is knowing how to trigger it without anyone else or anything else being involved. No, I don’t know. You have to find that one for yourself. Clue: It’s the one place you’d never think of looking—yep, right inside you.

11.know when to walk away

You may want to get even. Don’t get mad; walk away. This is much better than getting even because it shows you have risen above whatever it is that is driving you crazy. And there can be no better way of getting even than to ignore something so completely it can be left behind. Letting go and walking away means you are exercising control and good decision-making powers—you are making your choice rather than letting the situation control you.

Bonus Tip :Mind your manners

You’re probably thinking that you have good manners already. Most of us believe we do. However, the more you hurry and the more stress you are under, the more manners are likely to slip. All of us, if we’re honest, will admit to forgetting to properly express gratitude for something when frazzled by life or feeling a huge temptation to push in front of somebody old when rushing to catch a bus. However rushed and fraught you are (and following the Rules should make you less so), you should always make the effort to show these good manners: • Lining up without pushing • Complimenting people when you need to   •Saying “good morning” • Thanking people when they’ve looked after you or done something for you • Being hospitable • Observing manners of other communities • Not grabbing the last piece of cake • Being courteous and charming
