TIPS

Tips

• Don't let rude or impolite people get to you. You don't deserve to have to listen to them. Stand up for yourself politely and quietly without seeming rude or arrogant yourself. Show them you're better than that by ignoring them or acting as if it doesn't bother you. Most importantly, never bad mouth anyone in public, you never know who may overhear you. With a little splash of bad luck, you'll say it right under the nose of a teacher and get in trouble.
• Respect other's opinions, dreams, views and interests. If your friend supports a football team that you hate, don't say that you hate it. Try not to talk about football. Steer the conversation round to somewhere else.
• Be approachable. Connecting with someone on a personal level makes you stand out from everyone else. Don't be too scared to talk about your business and get him to talk about his, it makes you closer and he'll appreciate it. Guys often act as if they have no feelings and are just tough, but they are just as complex as us girls are.
• Make people feel welcome. Try not to say, "Oh no, I haven't the time." Even if you're in a hurry, stop, smile and ask them what they need. That person will respect and like you, and if you do it to everyone, people's faces will light up when they see you. Trust me, all girls reading this; it's a lovely feeling to be wanted and accepted.
• Be ready to share a joke and laugh with someone else, even if it is your deadliest enemy who cracked the joke.
• Part of physically taking care of yourself is being healthy and fit. This does not mean you need to have a thigh gap or washboard abs, it simply means you need to be healthy for your body type. Try running a mile every day, playing a sport, adopting a workout routine, or visiting the gym. if you don't have the time or money for these, try to look up five minute workouts and practice them every day. Not only will this keep you looking great in your body shape, it will improve your happiness and confidence too.
• People will appreciate someone who they can easily ask to spend quality time with, rather than someone who is moody and difficult to talk to. If someone offers you something or asks you to do something with them, don't go, "Oh no, I can't. Sorry," and rush off - they will think you do not want to spend time with them. If you're just going to loll around at home when you could be out with a friend, go for the latter. If you really cannot make it, explain it as politely as you can. At the end offer to do it another time - it will make you seem gentle, reachable, polite and willing to make it up to someone when you disappoint them.
• If anybody offers criticism, don't take it to heart but do take it on board. Don't let it get you down.
• Be gentle. If a smaller child comes up to you and asks to join in your game, welcome them! Small children will love you! Also be kind to animals and pets, and share other's views.
• Work on some of your flaws. To be perfect you need to be almost flawless everyday!
