Protams, ka no Thought Catalog.

Stop answering the calls you don’t want to answer, replying to texts you don’t want to reply to, and saying yes to the invites you don’t want to attend. It may be hard to say “no thanks” or ignore a person, but if you feel the urge to, there’s usually a reason for that… And even if you’re just being an antisocial homebody, that’s your prerogative!

Give any heartfelt compliments to people who you genuinely feel deserve ‘em. Tell them your really nice, deep down opinions of them – the stuff that you’d say if they passed away — but since you can actually relay those kind words to them today, take advantage of it.

Do that thing you’ve always wanted to try (e.g. make a short film) but have been too scared, unconfident, self-conscious, etc. to attempt. Just decide — I’m going to give it a real shot and see how it goes.

Focus on now instead of lingering on the uncontrollable. The past is history and the future’s mystery. While the beginning of your story has been written in permanent ink, you’re still the author in full control of how it ends. Make an effort right this minute on a cause or person that matters to you.

Clean up around yourself. As someone who hates cleaning, I know it can seem so undesirable at first thought, but once you start and finish it’ll be well worth it. After living in a pigsty, an organized, dust and grime free home is a much happier one.

Don’t be a pushover. This doesn’t mean you have to be stubborn or rude either, but make a stand for what you believe in and speak up when you’ve been done wrong. It doesn’t even have to be that serious – but I can’t tell you how many incorrect Starbucks drinks I’ve consumed because I was too passive to bother speaking up.

See the story in any current crappy situations, and revel in the fact that you’ll be able to reflect on ‘em and tell interested, funny, sad, emotion provoking tales in the future.
