Some days you can feel like your own worst enemy. Believe it or not, how you treat yourself can actually be more destructive than how others treat you. For the sake of your well-being, you need to look inward, sweet friends.

Perhaps you regret having trusted her. Clearly, trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. As they say: It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. And the only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself. But truly, whether it’s romantic or even professional, without trust it is simply a matter of time before the relationship falls apart.

Do you believe that you are psychologically evolving? Do you value “growth”? Perhaps you don’t even know what that means to you. Trust me, you are not alone. Most of us respond to events in our present based on situations in our past.

Are you aware that you have a script in your mind? Indeed, we all have expectations about how our lives will unfold and evolve. Oftentimes, we respond to those events in highly unproductive ways, stemming from the worst moments of our childhood.

Ever meet someone who has no earthly idea how difficult they are to be around? He may even have a heightened belief in his own excellence or perfection. No matter how sensitively you deliver the criticism, she will simply get offended or even accuse you of being impolite or rude.

Doing good deeds and giving charity have a central place in our ethical belief system. Do you offer others what they may need if they simply cannot get it for themselves? If so, how? You may think that means money or something material. Sure, you spare that dollar or write that check to your favorite institution before the holidays.
