“A funny thing happens when we offer advice—even if it’s well intended. It creates a relationship dynamic of ‘I am above you, and you are beneath me,’ which is likely not what we want to project, right?! We want to help, not hold ourselves on high above ’the people who don’t know any better!’” she shed some light on the issue in an email.
“People tend to receive advice if it’s framed within a series of coaching questions. Asking how the person is feeling about the situation, what they’ve tried that has worked/not worked in the past, what outcomes they’d like to see happen… these questions show the other person you’re truly curious and care about them,” Wellman explained.

“Leave room to simply be a listening friend, not an advice-giver. Giving advice to an unreceptive person is unproductive and risks damaging the relationship.”
Meanwhile, Wellman pointed out that it’s a “fabulous first step” to accept the fact that we won’t have the time to do even a fraction of the things we want to. “Focusing on our diminishing time can be helpful, even if it seems to increase the pressure. Counting how many Mondays you have left, for example, can get us focused on the limited time we have. This heightens our sense of what matters and can help with prioritization,” she told Bored Panda.

We can only live one day at a time, so being intentional about TODAY tends to decrease long-term anxiety."
Feel free to calculate the number of Mondays you (probably) have left and check out Wellman’s book ‘You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets.’

The longest-running study on human happiness, conducted by researchers at Harvard over more than eight decades, found that your relationships have the biggest impact on your well-being. In short, the more positive relationships you have, the deeper they are, and the more socially active you are, the more resilient you are to stress.

In terms of exercise and diet, it’s hard to know what to do when everybody seems to have an opinion about everything. The key thing to remember is not to get hyped up over short-term trends. Listen to your body and what it needs.
Find a few forms of exercise that you genuinely enjoy and do them consistently. If you hate jogging but love hiking, do that! If you’re a swimmer and a tennis player rather than a footballer or power-lifter, embrace that. When you love what you do, it’s easier to stay consistent. Just make sure that you get some cardio and strength training in.

Diet-wise, avoid junk and processed foods, added sugar, and saturated fat, as well as alcohol and nicotine. Opt for more veggies, legumes, healthy fats, and protein. And consider getting tested to see if you have any food allergies or can’t tolerate certain ingredients: you’ll want to steer clear of those.

There’s a lot of wisdom to be found among the digital pages of their archives. The tips themselves are incredibly varied. You can find posts on topics both broad and incredibly niche. And in the rare case that you need even more personalized advice, you can always ask the community for help directly. They’re very friendly and often more than happy to lend a hand. Or, well, in this case, a digital quill.
