Five things to do in your 40s so you don't live a life of regret when you get to your 70s. Stop saying sorry. Instead say thank you when you're late. Say thank you for waiting. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for looking after me. But stop apologizing. The fastest way to grow your self esteem is by praising yourself. Do not outsource your need for praise. Do it yourself. Makes you confident instead of needy. Upgrade your thoughts. Be kind to your mind. Fill your mind with positive thoughts. Say no more, but say it with confidence. Don't say I'm sorry, I. You can't come. Say thank you for inviting me. I have other plans. No, that doesn't suit me. No, that doesn't work for me. No. Until you can say no, yes has no meaning at all and is always a disguise. No and say fuck more. Fuck off. No. It's a very powerful word. So say fuck off more. Especially if you're a woman. It gives you power. Don't apologize. Be your own authentic self is the best thing you can ever be.
