15 People Reveal the One Personal Rule They Will Never Break

Whether you think of them regularly or not, we all have our own personal rules that we live by. We don’t break them ourselves, and we don’t like it when other people do, either. These things tend to be pretty personal though, so you may be surprised to learn what these 15 people would never consider throwing out the window!

#15. Feeling included.

“If im in a group of 3+ people, i will always talk to everyone. There’s usually always 1 person who is quiet because of some reason…maybe wasnt there for something we talked about or just cant find a way to contribute. I know that feeling all too well, just standing there with nothing to say feels awkward and uncomfortable. I dont want anyone to feel like how I used to. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but to that one person, it might’ve made their day feeling included.”

#14. It grosses me out.

“I can let my room get messy at times, but I always make sure that unfinished food and plates that had food on them are taken care of right away. It just grosses me out to leave that stuff around my room.

I also make sure to drink water after every meal and really, every drink I have that isn’t water.”

#13. Littering.

“I don’t litter.”

#12. Where I came from.

“Remember where I came from. 33 years ago I was a college failure with no job, no food, no money and no future. People helped me who didnt have to. I owe them to help others to pay back what they did for me. If I can help, I have to help.”

#11. Never make fun.

“Never make fun of somebodies weird laugh, as it could be the only time somebody is truly happy, and to take that away from somebody else is just unnecessary.”

#10. Kindness.

“Same rules I raise my sons by: 1. Kindness matters even if no one else will see it 2. Kindness will not always mean niceness. 3. Kindness starts with yourself, you cannot give what you do not have.”

#9. Neat and tidy.

“Keep a neat and tidy work space. I build cabinets and furniture for a living. Having your work space and tools in disarray can lead to mistakes easier than one might think.”

#8. Intentions.

“I never get angry at accidents or punish people for something they didn’t intend to happen.

Along the same lines, I don’t care who’s fault it is, I just want to know what happened and how it’s being fixed.”

#7. The toilet paper.

“always replace the toilet paper if you used the last of it

if you pee on the seat, clean it up

do your own dish

don’t litter”

#6. My good word.

“If you make a promise to someone make sure its one you can keep. If its something that might not happen I’ll say “I will do my best on this but I can’t promise anything.” I try very hard to keep my word good.”

#5. Say thank you.

“If someone does something well – I tell them / thank them. People are genuinely surprised when others take the time to give positive feedback.

Edit: Hey thanks everyone, glad you all liked my ‘rule.’ :)”

#4. The keys.

“Never lock the car door without my keys in my hand.”

#3. Even if I don’t feel like I need to.

“Always pee before going to bed. Even if I don’t feel like I need to.”

#2. Work at work.

“I walk into work leaving emotion at the door and walk out of work, leaving work at work.

Its easier said then done, but it allows for a great work life balance.

Edit: can’t believe how high this is! Going to try and answer some of the questions!”

#1. Don’t wear out your welcome.

“Never over stay your welcome. Always leave way before your welcome has expired.”

These 7 Psychological Facts Might Explain Your Occasional Lack of Motivation

We all deal with procrastination and lack of motivation from time to time, but it’s also true that if you take a closer look at the reasons you’re not doing what you need to be doing when you need to be doing it, there’s probably an underlying psychological cause.

Below are 7 things that could be stopping you from completing your to-do list today – and if you can understand why you’ve stalled, you’ll be able to recover your get-up-and-go and get to it!

#7. Your goals are too big or unattainable.

You’ll have a hard time staying motivated if your brain senses there’s no way to get to the finish line. If there are too many steps, there are too many chances to fail, and your subconscious may balk.

Instead, set smaller, short-term goals that can lead you towards larger ones.

#6. You don’t believe in yourself.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

You have to believe in your ability to achieve what you set out to do – those who do are more likely to possess the motivation necessary to accomplish those tasks. If you’re struggling, this study shows that repeating positive affirmations can increase your energy and belief in the attainability of your goals.

#5. You feel as if you’re not making a difference.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

We all want to feel like the work we’re doing makes a difference in the world – a fact this study proved by watching people who believed they were making calls to raise money for a good cause as opposed to some other reason.

If you’re struggling, try connecting with the people who benefit from your work and track the results to give yourself ongoing motivation.

#4. You’ve talked too much about your goals.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Contrary to popular belief, it’s best to keep big goals and dreams to yourself. Write them down, if you want, but science says that talking about them to other people tricks your brain into thinking they’ve already been accomplished when they definitely haven’t.

#3. You’re being forced to complete a task.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

It probably comes as no surprise that people feel more motivated when they’re faced with completing something they want to do as opposed to something they have to do. The more autonomy we have, the more energy we have, but the hard truth is there are always things that need doing even if we don’t want to.

To get them done, trade the words “have to” to “choose to” and take back some control.

#2. You had strict parents.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

There’s a study that concludes people who procrastinate often and for a long time likely had strict parents growing up – and that goes double for women who grew up in a house with a strict father. The act of procrastinating counts as a form of rebellion, even into adulthood.

To beat this issue, you’re probably going to want to talk to a licensed therapist…

#1. You spend too much time visualizing success.

Positive thinking has its place on the path to success, but simply visualizing the result you want isn’t going to increase your motivation – it could even drain your energy and make you less likely to get going.

Weirdly, science says that visualizing not only your goal, but more importantly the potential setbacks along the way, can have a positive effect on your ability to get started and keep going.

This Man is Giving Us a Glimpse of Amazing 100-Year-Old Photographs Using Modern Technology

If you stumbled onto a box of 100-year-old photo negatives that were all worn and cracked, you’d probably think that their true images were probably lost forever, right? Well, that’s not always true.

Lucky for all of us, 70-year-old Greg Pack of Essex, England, thought no such thing when he found a battered old box at a boot sale. His son tells ITV News that the box and its contents – 100-year-old glass negatives – caught his father’s interest.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Even though the images were faded, the former artist used a mixture of his professional knowledge and modern technology to “restore” the photos well enough to be seen easily.

Pack held each negative up to the light and took a picture using his iPhone, then used Photoshop to turn the negative images into positive ones.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The results, as you can see, are pretty freaking cool.

I never would have thought to do this, so thank goodness for professional photographers and creative minds! More little treasures would be lost without them.

The man’s son, Scott Peck, has been updating Twitter on their search for the people in the photographs, their families, or even just a way to date the images. This list was in the lid and seemed to be a useful starting point.

Photo Credit: Twitter

But as you can see, turned out to be a red herring.

The saga continues, so make sure you’re following him on Twitter for updates if you’re intrigued!

This Woman Got a Wrong Number Message from a Scientologist…and Decided to Respond

We’ve all received a text from a wrong number at least once in our lives. Usually, we just delete it and move on. But what if you got a text from a Scientologist looking to recruit you? That’s exactly what happened to Shelby and she couldn’t resist having a little fun.

No word on whether the recruiter in question was amused at all, but for the rest of you…enjoy.

How it began…

At first, the person seems convinced ‘Shelby’ is messing with her, but this picture seems to have changed her mind. Somehow.

But ‘Shelby’ wasn’t done. She had to see how far she could take it, and believe me…it’s farther than you’d think.

Photo Credit: Imgur

They had to realize after that last one, right? I mean, we’ll never know because that’s where the post ends, but, like, they figured it out…right?

Trolling lesson complete!
