  1. Quit an addiction

I will not ask you to quit a serious addiction like smoking or drinking, because that would be nearly impossible.

You need to build confidence about one thing you feel most insecure about. I feel very venerable without my eyeliner and I have decided that I will go without eyeliner for a whole entire week.

This one is an absolute necessity for some of us. I know that it hurts when people judge you for being unhealthy, but what hurts the most is how difficult it has become to carry out simple chores and how we struggle with our own bodies on daily basis. I have put on over 20 pounds over the last year. This might be due to the four miscarriages I have had but I need to lose weight, for myself!

I don’t have any specific tantrums but if you do, do this next time you are about to throw a fit. Bite onto your pillow as hard as you can, and you will instantly feel a calm come over you. This worked for me when I was a child! Remember to make sure it’s your pillow.

  1. Overcome a fear

Face your fears, or do something daring. This doesn’t mean you jump off a building if you fear heights but if it’s serious, seek therapy.

Be the courteous little thing that you are and be nice to people. Start by wearing a smile on your face, or hold the door open for someone. It can be anything and you should be proud of it. A warm good morning or a sweet good night won’t hurt anyone.

21. You need to learn how to manage time

You need to be punctual, heck I need to be punctual! Start by this if you can do it in 5 minutes, do it right now!
