18.We are supposed to always do at least three kinds of things every day:one for yourself,one for someone you know,and one for someone you don't know.If you find doing three things every day too much to begin with,then spread them out over a week and build them up as the habit gets stronger.
Looking after ourselves can include taking exercise,seeing friends in a more regular way and changing our routine from time to time.These are all effective ways of being kind to oneself.It's so easy to forget to pay attention to taking real care of ourselves as we hurry through our day,trying to finish our duties.
When we get overtired and stressed,it is much harder to show kindness to anyone at all,so we can see kindness for ourselves as an investment that will help others also.One of the very best ways to show kindness to oneself is to make time each day to practice meditation(沉思).Even a five-minute session every morning can help to set us up with a little more space and quietness with which we will face the day.
Perhaps it might be a nice idea to make the family feel surprised by doing something unexpected such as bringing them morning tea in bed,or making pancakes for tea.Just as it helps us to change routine,it will help the family,too.You also can make an unexpected phone call to a friend who lives at a distance in order to lift his day.Sending a thank-you note to people who have invited you to dinner,or sending flowers to celebrate an exam result,will bring happiness both to you and to the people who are receiving them.
You also can do something kind for a person you don't know.For example,next time you buy a take-away coffee,trying paying for the drink the person behind you is buying.In a supermarket,when I have to grapple to the back of a shelf to get at a packet or tin,I will pullforward the next one so the person coming after me can see that there is still one left and they don't have to struggle to get it out.What's more,simple things like opening doors for people,standing aside to let them pass,allowing them to go ahead of you in a queue are easy to do and can change someone's day.

15.If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses,would this make you feel good?The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another-and some of us do it pretty often.It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness.So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others?Here are some tips I've found useful.
Awareness.
Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it.It's a natural act,I suppose.So the solution is to become aware.If you focus on these thoughts for a few days,it will become much easier with practice,and soon it'll be hard not to notice.
Stop yourself.
Once you realize you're making these comparisons,stop yourself.Don't feel bad-just admit the thought,and gently change the focus.
Count your blessings.
Focus on what you do have,and on what you are already blessed with.Count what you have,not what you don't have.Think about how lucky you are to have what you have,to have the people in your life who care about you.If you always want what others have,you will never have enough.You will always want more.That's an endless cycle,and it will never lead to happiness.Instead,learn to realize that what you have is already enough.
Focus on your strengths.
Instead of looking at your weaknesses,ask yourself what your strengths are.Be proud of them.Work on using them to your best advantage.
No one is perfect-we all know that.But we seem to feel bad when we don't reach perfection.You aren't perfect and you never will be.Keep trying to improve,but don't think you'll ever be the"perfect person".If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are,you are already perfect.
