Your Questions About Self Improvement Tips Work

How to turn passive-aggressiveness into something more positive?

I HATE confrontation, so I generally use passive-aggressiveness to *hint* when things are bothering me. We all know how bad that works… it ends up leaving me frustrated to where I just blow up.

But if I go to confront someone head on, I can never find the right words and I’m so nervous that I usually just end up apologizing for confronting them all-together—so then the problem never gets addressed.

What are some tips to help change my passive-aggressive attitude??

I’m on a road to self-improvement tonight!!

admin answers:

Passive-aggressive behavior is sometimes rooted in self-esteem and trust issues.

Learn to love yourself and trust others.

“Swim Suit Season”?

Basically i wanna lose weight by summer. I’m 15 about to turn 16, maybe 5’9 or 5’10, and weigh, well…a lot, probabaly around 165. I’m not fat, and i’m most deffinitly NOT skinny. I just have really thick thighs,/butt, and a “muffin top”, but my stomach isn’t that bad. I’m just really self-conscious about my self when i wear certain things such as bathing suits or tight shirts which is why i usually wear sweaters. My goal is to get in shape by summer, or at least when i go back to school (early sept.)

I was working out a lot for a while, but i really didnt see improvement. i really like lifting weights, and dancing…but i know the “real” way to lose weight is running. I HATE running.

Is there any way that i can get in shape before bathing suit season, that doesnt involve running? what other ways can i get some good cardio, like would pilates work maybe? tips please(=

Dancing is an excellent way to lose weight, plus it’s fun and you would probably stick to it. Running has its negatives. It’s hard on your feet and legs. You can really work up a sweat dancing just put on your favorite radio station or some music videos and get your dance on. Weightlifting is also great. Did you know the more muscle that you have on your body, the faster your metabolism works and you lose more weight when you exercise. So keep up what you’re doing, but be consistent,at least 30 minutes, 4-5 times per week. In addition to all of that, it is important to include a healthy diet, start slowly if you need to and just cut out things here and there like a couple of sodas, that extra piece of cake, the small fries instead of Super Size. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Have symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar?

Well I just wanted to let you know things that I’ve been observing and doing for the past year that has helped me so much with bipolar, depression, anxiety. Seriously, I can’t even sleep for days without my heavy loads of medication, but these ways of doing things really helps with all of this. At first I thought it wouldn’t help then, I just tried and found it really helped. Here are some things that naturally helps that you can do on your own.

First of all never call your self sick or label yourself. You must accept yourself also. Just treat yourself for your symptoms, like a cold in a way. Notice your symptoms, like when you notice a cough, treat it, but don’t obsess over it, and you’ll notice improvement the best. Remember things can always be worse so make the most of what you can as you try to improve your situation.

To feel better you have to want it and believe you’ll be okay, and once you believe it and want it, you’ll start asking people questions and be interested on your own on how to be stable. You’ll also feel a relief that you will find help soon enough. All the help you need is within yourself and other places out there.

The body works by chemical reactions and foods are chemicals consumed to help the body carry on things that the body needs to do. So it’s important to get all nutrients needed. Take half a multi-vitamin a day, try taking vitamin b-stress complex daily, and take omega 3-6-9 supplements which is proven to help with nourishing the brain.Take it for a few weeks and you’ll notice the difference.

Also, mood problems can occur from hormonal imbalances, like low thyroid levels.
It is also very important to get sunlight daily which helps boost the mood. Exercise helps boost the mood and and take care of excess energy. It helps with better sleep at night.

Make sure you sleep and wake up at a regular schedule. Sleep is very important to help the mind heal and to be in a good mood. Get 8hrs of sleep each night. No more than ten because too much sleep can make you feel groggy.

Another thing is try to change any negative or stressful thought you have to an optimistic one. Even if it doesn’t feel like you believe it, tell yourself you believe it. I once was told everything is love, atleast some sort of love, and everything else is your own perception. Jealousy, hate anger, resentment takes away calmness from people, and a sense of peace in ones’ mind is important. it’s also important to have a general love for humanity.

Also stay away from stimulating things, no hair spray, markers, chocolate, tea, coffee, horror flicks. Anything that causes that high or rushed feeling causes stress on the body.
