If you want to get the best gift for a friend or someone in your family, choose something that is meaningful to them – something based on their interests. Aim to make it memorable and unique; this shows you’ve taken care and spent the extra time and effort thinking of them.
Knowing and remembering the things which are important to other people shows you value them, and that you care.
If you feel you are too much in your own thoughts, let your world revolve around others for a day. See the world through their eyes; let their concerns be yours, and see if you can use your own skills to help with the problems that are concerning them.
Compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for the suffering or misfortune of another, including the desire to make it better.
Be aware of how people view you from the behaviour you show. Your behaviour is the outward projection of yourself onto the world, and it will affect how people treat you now and in the future.
You can still accept help whilst being independent – part of independence means knowing your limits, and not being afraid to seek help when you need it.
Talk openly to someone before things get too much. The earlier you communicate your concerns, the earlier you can start working through solutions.
Christmas is an opportunity to improve the relationships you have with friends and family. Appreciate their time for you, and be mindful of their situations.
Women are twice as likely as men to regret their first sexual experience. Women who wait longer and who are not pressured into having sex are less likely to regret their first experiences.
If you can’t afford to give a Christmas present, gift your time instead – help out with a job, or by doing something they would truly appreciate.
