If it feels wrong, don’t do it

Don’t get caught up in the trend and do things that are not according to your morals and virtue in life.

Trust your instinct

Always go with your gut feelings and don’t doubt the decisions that you have made in the first place.

Learn to say ‘no’ if you don’t want too

Your self-worth is not defined by how much you do for other people. Saying ‘no’ to things you don’t want to do will make you feel more in control of your own life.

Never speak badly about yourself

Do not speak badly of yourself. Negative self-talk can bring damages to your body, mind and life. Minimize your inner self-critic by shifting your perspective and replaces the bad with the good.

Be kind of yourself

Have some self-respect by keeping the promises that you made to yourself and treat yourself to a glass of rosé to celebrate the accomplishments that you have made.

Avoid negative people

Don’t let anyone treat you like pond water. You are Voss. You are sparkling San Pellegrino dammit.

Become more closer to God

It takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations. Have faith in God and He will take charge of your life.

Goals before anyone

It’s better to just rely on yourself and not tell a soul about your goals because not everyone is a well-wisher.

Don’t be a pleaser to people

A people pleaser is a personality that seeks validation from others and finds comfort in it. To stop being one, you need to set your priorities and values to what is more important in your own life.

Love yourself

Being in love with yourself provides you with self-confidence, self-worth and it will generally help you feel more positive. You may also find that it is easier for you to fall in love once you have learned to love yourself first.
