Random Pieces of Advice

[AmberStarfire]

I thought it might be interesting to create a thread for random snippets of advice that we've found to be helpful or think might be useful to others. It's not really for those big personal questions, just little suggestions that might be of use to somebody. Obviously, you don't have to follow the advice.

1. Try honey in tea or coffee instead of sugar. (I feel notably better when I'm drinking it).
2. If you want a pet and there's no reason you can't keep one, consider getting one.
3. Time is precious, use it wisely.

[Lady Shadow]

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

[Merry Gentry]

Don't eat yellow snow

Whatever you strive to do in life, just do it you never know what the out come maybe.

[Trigon]

Seize the moment

[Mimetisme]

Hot and humid?

Take a wash cloth and soak it in ice cold water. Ring it out some then drape it across the back of your neck.

Soak a small towel that is big enough to wrap around your head in cold water. Ring it out, then wrap it to your head. Or, drape it across your back.

Works great if you have a fan to blow on the towel.

[MisledBloodshed]

Nobody else has it together as much as it looks like they do, don't compare yourself to the masks people wear

It sounds cheesey, but most people don't do this enough.

This might be horrible advice, but I'm throwing it out there anyway.

When in doubt, ice cream.

[Kit Cat]

If you can't look at yourself in the mirror after, you know its the wrong thing to do

[Skynet]

Do not eat a handful of Skittles all at once. Savor every piece for fruity flavor!

[AutumnFury]

If you have the time and ability to take a nap, take it.

One particular piece of advice I hear from my senior ladies all the time in my job is make sure you put on clean underwear every day, because you never know what's going to happen or who you're going to meet. (It makes me giggle, but it's so true!)

[Lady Shadow]

Don't beat yourself up for making a mistake - it's what makes us human.

[Despairs]

Be nice to everyone you meet even if they spit on you.

Small steps eventually lead to big things.

[Solera]

Progress—no matter how small—is still progress. Keep going.

[Phoenixrisen]

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is stop fighting. Not ever challenge can be fought through, some have to be gone around. If all your energy is invested in fighting, you're not going to have any to find that path around, so, if you find yourself coming up against a brick wall that can't be scaled over and over again it may be time to stop fighting for a minute and added if the battle can be won that way, or if the only way to win is to stop granting the challenge it's battle.

Put milk and a little bit of coffee creamer in your tea. (this doesn’t apply to most citrusy fruit teas as the creamer and milk will curdle)
