If you feel like she is the one for you, cherish her and try your best to make her happy. Changing your girl’s state of mind or mood is not necessarily an expensive activity. All you have to do is put in the effort and show her the appreciation she deserves, and if her feelings for you are genuine, she will be thankful for each small gesture.

If you cannot understand the reason behind the tears, trust her process because, with small steps, she will reveal her reasons. You have to be patient and ready to catch her when she falls apart.

We have created a list of 20 ways in which you can make your girlfriend feel better. However, if you start doing some of these things regularly, your girlfriend will have fewer reasons to be sad.

Thank her

Your girlfriend is the person who would travel the whole world to see you. She is special because she makes you feel special. You must admit that not everyone has that gift. If she has been there for you when you were at your lowest, does everything in her power to see you happy, works for the relationship and your future, then you must take your time and thank her.

Show her gratitude and appreciation because she deserves it and because it will make her smile. Right now, that is the goal.

Be honest

Nothing makes a girl happier than knowing she can put her trust in you. If you have made a mistake, be sincere to her and explain the situation. It might make her sad at the moment, but it is more likely that she forgives you when you tell her than when she finds the truth on her own.

If she caught you lying in the past, in her weak moments, the lying will add up to her sadness and will make her overthink. After all, this is the thing you want to avoid. Instead of giving her more reasons to worry and be anxious, be honest with her every day and reassure her, she is the only woman in your life.

Compliment her

You might not always notice it, but your girlfriend is making efforts to please you. She will sometimes dress nicer, wear make-up, tell you funny stories to make you laugh. If you are not “the complimenting type”, get out of your comfort zone and tell her how beautiful you think she is.

Express your feelings for her, tell her that she is the funniest, the smartest and the kindest person you know. Surprise her with a random text or phone call during the day. This small gesture will keep her happy for a few days!

Do something for her

If you feel like your girlfriend have been in a bad mood lately, why not surprise her with a date? It does not have to be anything pompous or over the top. It has to be something she wanted for a long time, and you never got the chance to do it or recreate a date she really enjoyed in the past.

Even remembering her favorite movie is sufficient to cheer her up. The only condition is to be thoughtful and put your mind to something she actually likes or needs. Fixing her broken cabinet or changing her sheets could be enough, too.

Learn more about her

You could be together for twenty years or more, and you still will not know everything about your girlfriend. She is human, so she is constantly growing, changing and evolving. Some of the things she told you at the beginning of the relationship might not be valid now. Ask her about new hobbies, food and colors she would like to wear more.

The fact that you are interested in her life will make her happy and help you build trust. Getting to know each other, even after years of relationship, is a healthy habit that brings fortune and happiness to your couple.

Be affectionate

You can show affection in multiple ways. If your girlfriend likes to feel your presence, spend more time with her, hug and kiss your lover more. When she is down, be gentle, do not hurry to ask questions, just show her the love you have for her.

Remind her how much she means to you and prove to her you are there to help her go through all the dark moments. Loving your girlfriend unconditionally, without barriers, is what will make her the happiest.

Ask her on a date

If you recently decided to form a couple, you might want to learn more about her and ask her what she likes to do. Then, you could prepare a date that she will genuinely enjoy. Your girlfriend knows that you are going out of your way for her and appreciates the effort. On the other hand, if you have been dating for a while, there are big chances you have not gone on a date for ages.

As you get more comfortable with someone, you tend to skip the fancy pants and the dinners in favor of cozy cuddles and a movie at home. However, maybe you should break the circle and invite her to a good restaurant or a movie at the cinema.

Hug her tight

Do you know what girls love most? They love closing their eyes and smelling your perfume while hugging you. For your girlfriend, there is no safer place in the world than your arms. She might fight some demons out there, but when she hugs you, all the evil disappears for a few moments.

Help her take a break from all the sadness following her, and hug her for as long as she needs. It will make her happy knowing you are so patient with her.

Cook for her

You do not have to be a chef to cook a meal, especially that her favourite meal will most likely be something simple to cook. Food is always an excellent step to cheer a girl up. Invite her to dinner, and you can even cook while she is there. Most women find men that cook attractive. Do not worry about the taste.

Even if it is absolutely atrocious, she will still appreciate the effort. She will feel loved and special, and her problems will disappear for a while.

Tell her jokes

Have you done everything in your power to help her solve the problems? Did you listen without intruding and tried your best to understand her point of view? Great! Now it is time to do something to bring that bright smile you love on that face. You must know that nothing makes a girl feel better than a laughing session with her partner.

Give her a good time by telling all the silly jokes you kept accumulating in your brain for the perfect moment. Show her all the memes you have saved on your phone. Be goofy and make funny faces like a child. You probably won her by making her laugh.  You can make her giggle again.

Make this about her

You have your problems, too, but right now, she gained enough trust to open up to you and tell her about what is not going well in her life. Focus on her, and do not let yourself fall into the trap of covering her confession with yours.

If you assure her of your involvement, she will be more likely to let you approach the problem.

Do not interrupt her

Make sure not to cut her off when she is talking, or even worse- do not start mansplaining. Mansplaining is a concept that refers to men who talk over a woman and patronize the conversation as only what they are thinking is important or relevant to the discussion. She must know you respect her enough to let her speak without feeling the need to complete her sentences.

If you are mansplaining, you will not cheer her up. However, you will most certainly upset her even more. You can, of course, offer your support and give her pieces of advice, but only when she finishes talking or takes breaks in her monologue.

Have patience

If your girlfriend comes up to you and explains that something is not working the way it is supposed to in her life, you will probably feel the need to find a solution to whatever problem is causing her to feel this way. Yet, this is not the best approach all the time. Have enough patience to listen to her first and empathize with her.

Try to understand what her actions and emotions are telling you. Does she need a problem-solver or a person to listen to her? Does she need jokes or someone to let her cry on their shoulder?

Be interested

Quit the questions to which she could respond in only two ways: “yes” or “no”. This approach is not helpful for the situation, as you will not find anything too valuable. Instead, try asking open questions that determine her to explain the circumstances.

For example, ask her: “What makes you feel like this?”, “How can I help?”, “Why did her reaction upset you”, etc. These questions will encourage you to find the root of the problem, and then you can start discussing how to overcome it.

Listen to her

Your girlfriend might be overthinking a lot on this period. This might cause her to be moody and upset. The secret to a happy girlfriend is to listen to her carefully and remember the things she is telling you.

If you do not know why is she feeling unhappy, you will not be able to cheer her up.

Plan your future together

Your girlfriend might feel insecure about your relationship when you avoid thinking about the future. You must have a purpose for the relationship to grow and move forward. Reassuring your girl that you plan to continue being with her will make her happy and will take some of the pressure off her chest.

A new relationship doesn’t need this kind of thinking as much, but once the years pass, you should think about your future together and plan your next move.

For a connection to keep evolving it is important to make sure you are on the same path. For example, if you think about opening a restaurant in London and she dreams of working with poor kids from Africa, then you should discuss the potential issues that might appear and see if you are ready to separate for a long time.

The same goes for marriage and children. If one is ready for such commitments and the other isn’t, then you must address the problem and try finding a middle ground. If you keep avoiding these serious talks, both of you will be miserable when you finally accept the differences between you two.

The best way to make your girlfriend feel good about your relationship is by reminding her that she is included in your plans.

Communicate

You probably heard this a million times in the past: communication is the secret to a healthy relationship. Holding back your feelings and repressing your emotions will lead to future issues, criticism, and aversion. Communication starts by listening to what your partner is saying. Acting like adults involves taking criticism as an opportunity to change your relationship for the better, not as an attack from your partner.

But how do you become a better listener? Focus on her and try to understand her message without reading between the lines or making assumptions. Think about her issues from her perspective, not from yours, and pay close attention to her emotions. Do not avoid eye contact and remind her that you are listening by nodding or making affirmative gestures.

When she finishes talking, it is time to present your way of seeing things. No matter how hard it might feel to express your thoughts, be true to her and to yourself. As harsh as your emotions might be, it is always better to tell her how you feel than lie to her to avoid hurting her sentiments.

The 10 minutes rule

Terri Orbuch, a relationship expert, came up with this rule that says that for 10 minutes, you and your partner have to talk about anything else but children, work, tasks, and responsibilities. You could talk about movies, shows, weather, or about yourself as a person. Google some interesting questions and ask each other.

This will create a safe moment in which you take a break from all the chaos and drama happening in your life, and allows you to visualize the good in all the bad.

Travel

If you can afford a small vacation, even if it means going away 30 minutes from the city, do it! Your life belongs to you, and you are the only ones responsible for your happiness.

New surroundings will help her take her mind of the things that bother her. A peaceful, serene atmosphere will give her enough time to process the issues calmly.

Stay positive

This step is one of the most important ones. While listening to your girlfriend, remind her that things will get better and that a few problems are not the end of the world. No matter how sad she is, you must not assimilate her negative attitude, but slowly help her gain your positive one. Validate her feelings, but do not let her feel completely hopeless.

Reassure her that you are right next to her no matter what. Try phrases like: “I know it seems like a big deal right now, but we will get through this and will laugh about it in a few years”, “I am here for you, and I promise everything will be okay in the end”, “We could remember the beautiful moments we have lived, and you will see that things are not that bad”.

Final Thoughts

We all go through difficult moments, and it is crucial to have a shoulder to cry on, a person to turn to when the world seems to fall apart. Being that person for your girlfriend might be challenging, but once you understand her, cheering her up won’t be as hard.

Listen to her, validate her feelings and avoid minimizing the impact a problem has on her. Only by helping her open up to you, you will get to put a smile on the beautiful face that you love.

The post 100+ Powerful and Inspiring Meaning of Life Quotes appeared first on The Scrib.

If, in the past, women preferred personalities that emanated physical strength and virility, men who could build a home for them and support their family, now they prefer more sensitive characters, capable of strong emotions, men who offer them unconditional love.

There are five principal personalities in men’s world.

Alpha Personality

Alpha males emit confidence and sex appeal. They think everything belongs to them. They firmly believe that it is possible to have any woman they desire. However, they choose their partners carefully, usually avoiding alpha females, in order to remain the dominant element of the relationship.

The alpha man is easy to offend, and his ego has immense proportions. Usually, a woman that cheats on her spouse does it with an alpha male due to his charming personality. They will not leave their partner for him because such a male will not offer her support and emotional stability, but only a fabulous sexual experience.

Therefore, the main advantages of an alpha male are his confidence, charm and friendly personality, while the downsides are his lack of emotional implication and comfort.

Beta Personality

This type of man will win women over with his gentle behaviour and takes a simple approach in his relationships. He differs a lot from the alpha character, being more sensitive and approachable than the other. He is usually more mature than other men and has a sensitive personality. The beta male will take time and listen to his partner’s feelings and is happy to collaborate and correct himself if he hurt them.

He sounds like an astounding potential lover, but he has his downsides, too. Sometimes, the beta man will become reserved and will hardly communicate. He does not talk much, although he is undoubtedly an intelligent man. People tend to take him for granted due to his kindness, which might have left some scars.

For marriage, a woman would unquestionably choose a beta male, even though when she was young preferred alphas. However, besides being sweet and caring partners, the beta males are best friends to their opposite sex.

Omega personality

The omega is a pretty unusual human because of his habits. He is generally a nerdy guy and likes to collect things. While his intelligence is remarkable, his ambitions and plans are not. Due to his laziness, he rarely does anything other than eating and practicing one of his hobbies.

His irresponsibility has driven away many women that were looking for something serious. They are not only immature but also careless. They only care about their food, complicated science enigmas and their valuable collections.

They can be in a long-term relationship, but the marriage frequently has issues. The wife is probably doing all the chores, which can become frustrating and lead to more significant problems.

Gamma Personality

The gamma male is indeed the dream man for most women. He is active, loves partying and having fun. At the same time, he is responsible and grounded. The gamma will keep his adventurous side in reasonable limits to not intercalate with his emotional life.

An alpha may transition into a gamma male when he gets older because while keeping his charm, the gamma develops qualities such as responsibility, emotional intelligence and patience.

This type of man is aware of what a woman needs. He strives to be a constant support for his partner. He makes a great husband due to his endless love for the family and his perseverance.

Delta Personality

A delta man is rarely born like this. He could have been another type, maybe even the strongest ones, but something tragic must have happened to them along their way and stopped their evolution.

They do not approach people and prefer their own company. Therefore, they are not friendly and often become lonely.

His perfect match is usually a delta as well, or maybe an omega because other types of personality would consider their lifestyle boring.

Of course, these personalities might fluctuate over the years, and a man can situate himself between two of the categories. However, they classify man into five logical sections. This division helps professional address many issues, such as why sometimes two people do not match.

Alpha vs Beta Male

Alphas and Betas are hugely different. There are very few things common to both of these personalities, and they are not main traits.

As described above, alpha males are confident and masculine, while beta males are more sensitive and inclined to art.

Alpha men have gathered a faulty reputation due to the false impression that they are only muscular beasts who cannot feel beautiful emotions. Most of them indeed tend to put emotions on the second plan, but they can create durable connections with women while maintaining their manly traits and assertiveness.

However, some of these men can go too far with their demanding personality. The key to being a true alpha male is to find balance. There is no shame in trying to be better for your partner. No one says that you have to sit at only one side of the table. Practicing being a better listener or learning how to be supportive does not diminish your alpha character.

What makes the “alpha” be considered the leader of the pack?

Firstly, alpha males have natural leadership qualities, such as social confidence and high self-esteem. They are ambitious and do not let themselves be overwhelmed with fear.

Additionally, alpha men have certainty when they address a woman and know how to make her feel protected. Therefore, they attract women’s attention fast, not letting too much space for the other personalities. However, this infatuation might not be durable, as women search for stability at some point. Not all alpha men are willing to give up on their engaging personality around females for a serious relationship.

Beta males tend to be intelligent, funny and kind to everyone around them. However, their level of confidence cannot reach alpha’s nonchalance and self-reliance. He likes sitting in the shadow of the alpha because he is more of a reserved person.

With women, beta males act differently than their opposite personality. While they are still quite charming, they often are considered “friends” rather than “boyfriends”. He has another kind of respect for women and is too scared to approach them as an alpha. He is frightened of rejections and that he will offend the girls.

His personality or appearance does not suggest masculinity, making it more difficult for women to see him as a sexual partner. However, they make good long-term partners thanks to their tolerance and communicative skills. They only need to work harder than an alpha to win the perfect woman’s heart.

How to make the difference between good alpha males and bad ones?

As previously mentioned, not all alpha males are born to be leaders. Not good ones, at least.

The good alpha male is confident and strong not only physically but also mentally. He constantly tries to improve their emotional skills. He is indeed outspoken and very masculine, but not sexists or a misogynist. He accepts other men and does not bully them for their less masculine traits. This alpha understands that men are built differently.

The bad alpha male is easy to notice. He emits arrogance and is selfish and proud. They love only when there is something to win and is emotionally unstable. He leans on his physical power and is often demanding things he does not deserve. This man pretends to be an alpha, and people accept them as one due to his muscular appearance and aggressive behaviour, not because they respect and want to follow him.

What is the media telling us?

In movies and TV shows, alpha males are often the bad guys, and they lose in front of the good boy, who is essentially becoming an alpha just at the end. However, in life, you do not get the chance to save humanity in order to become the kind of man you are aspiring to be.

Here is the thing; You do not have to become an alpha male if you do not wish for that kind of attention or sincerely appreciate your current status. But if you want to be that kind of guy who turns heads when he walks in the room, then there is not too much work to do. Being more attractive stands in feeling more attractive. Developing a few main alpha traits is enough to become more appealing to women who appreciate this type of character.

You do not need to become the supreme alpha male. You will still be good enough for women who like a confident, charismatic, masculine man. If you display these traits, then there is nothing to worry about.

Also, being brave enough to initiate the first kiss, then lead things to the next level (with her permission, of course) is very attractive to females interested in alpha males.

Is being a beta male bad?

Essentially, people do not see beta males as pack leaders due to their lack of confidence that they’re trying their best to hide. They often highlight the qualities and tell impressive stories to distract people’s attention from his fear and number two position in the group.

However, being a beta male is not bad. Betas have a bunch of qualities that alphas often struggle with. If alphas need to work extra hard on the emotional side, betas often have it naturally.

The thing most people do not understand is that women, just like men, are different. If a female likes a more muscular and confident guy, it does not mean that all do. While it is true that alphas attract women’s first glance, they not always win all of the feminine hearts in the room. Alphas attract at first due to their appearance. Strong with good jokes and a well-structured speech, these boys will make most of the girl’s head turn.

That does not mean that they actually want that kind of man. Physically, yes, maybe, but something more? Probably not.

There are women attracted to shy guys who are kind and respect them. Betas don’t fail at that, and while rarer than alphas, they find women that feel intense emotions towards him and appreciates his personality and his “number two status”.

You do not have to change into an alpha to win girls’ hearts because not all women are attracted to only one category of man. It is perfectly fine being a beta, especially if you are happy with yourself.

It is wrong that society makes non-alpha characters feel inferior. Some are born to be leaders and to be the centre of attention others are born to create a meaningful relationship. These two do not exclude each other but are not often in conjunction.

If we look at the celebrities, not all of them are alpha males (such as Jason Momoa, Conor McGregor, or Brad Pitt). Some great examples of stars who are beta males are Seth Rogan, Jesse Eisenberg or Johnny Depp. All of these are successful men, who undoubtedly attract plenty of women, do not have all the qualities of an alpha male.

How to improve your personality

Alphas hold a substantial burden on their shoulders. They must always keep their influential mask on and never let go of their manhood. This strength they are carrying does not leave them to appreciate things that are considered to be feminine.

Alphas are undoubtedly good leaders, but they hardly make connections. Having to be so confident, they have learnt to be in control of their emotions.  Sometimes, alphas consider prooving your feeling to be a sign of weakness.

This part of life is what alphas should work on- understanding that sentiments are not feminine or masculine. They belong to humans, regardless of their gender, and there is nothing braver than being loud about the way you feel.

The best example of an alpha male who has evolved into a complete man, ready to hold both a relationship and a career, is a gamma male. People who think that the ultimate goal is to be the alpha of the group are wrong. The goal is to combine the best qualities from each personality and become yourself.

Betas, on the other hand, need to stop complaining to themselves about not being an alpha. They have to learn how to embrace their personality and appreciate their qualities. There is only one major thing they have to borrow from their alpha mates: self-confidence. If they keep working on loving who they are and embracing their sensitive side, more will come their way, both romantically and career-wise.

But how to be more confident?

1. First, you need to accept that nobody is perfect, not even the alpha male you keep comparing yourself to. Accept that whatever you do, you cannot change yourself in some areas. Once you have understood this, go ahead and meet people who make you feel good about yourself.
2. Hang out with men that believe in authentic masculinity, not in the toxic one, and you will soon realize that there are fewer alpha males than you thought.
3. Set goals and try your best to achieve them, but also take time to relax and allow yourself to rest and heal.
4. Finally, take care of yourself. You deserve to feel beautiful inside-out, and you can do whatever it takes for that. Being aware of your bad thoughts and defeating them with positive ones is self-care, too.

The verdict

There are five principal personalities, but as a man, you do not have to belong just to one of them. You can have alpha’s confidence and charm but still, love art. You can hold omega’s intelligence and combine it with gamma’s ambition. Throughout life, you can have significant shifts in personality.

The point is, life is full of surprises and does not wait for us to adjust to changes. Whether you are an alpha, beta or any other type, you need to keep up and evolve constantly. This way, you will model your specific personality with the qualities you consider the best.

The whole hierarchy between personalities is just an absurd social construct. Both alphas and betas have qualities and flaws. They are different kind of people and have plenty of things to learn from each other.

The “battle” regarding women is complex but does not have a winner. Just like men, women are distinctive and have various tastes in males. Not every female will fall for an alpha, while not every woman that falls for one will win his heart. Therefore, beta males should not worry about not finding their soulmates. They should only gain a little bit of courage and confidence.

People have different views on manifesting, some considering it a practice that needs to be in constant connection with the spiritual life. Others feel like there is no right way to manifest, and you must adjust the process to your personality.

Frequently, people that practice this technique connect with the Universe through diverse methods. There are numbers associated with “angels” and specific frequencies that help people connect with themselves.

If you think that manifesting will help you achieve your goals, then go through these 15 methods of practicing it and choose the right one for you!

1. Gratitude Loop

Gratitude is appreciating what you have now, and it is one of the strongest emotions you can emit. Practicing gratitude offers the chance to shift your energy into a better one.

The art of being grateful can be potentate by creating a gratitude loop, which is a cycle that happens when you are thankful for the things you receive, so the Universe gives you more to enjoy.

The fundamental low of manifesting is the low of attraction. Therefore, when you emit gratitude, you will be rewarded with other blessings to keep your energy stable. In consequence, you will release even more recognition, getting caught in a beneficial loop.

However, a gratitude loop is not necessarily easy to create. First, you need to take the time to think about what you are grateful for and acknowledge the feelings you have towards those things, people, or situations that make you feel content. Then, take a piece of paper and write everything you just thought about in great details or briefly.

Remember that the loop needs to be maintained. To do this, you must repeat the experience described above every day. Read from your list whenever you feel like you do not have enough, and try to enrich it each day with a reason why you are thankful for the present.

2. The Pillow Technique

One of the manifesting fundamentals is affirmations. People involved in this process have positive statements that they repeat regularly to attract good energies. Therapists often recommend this approach to their patients to raise their self-esteem.

The pillow method implies writing down your affirmations and placing them under your pillow at night. This practice will help you remain connected with your thoughts and energy while sleeping. The positive beliefs you have before you fall into a deeper sleep will have a significant impact on your dreams, too. It is a method that helps you manifest in your subconsciousness, not only when you are awake and aware of your actions.

People often do not realize how valuable it is to wake up with good energy. You can have a say in how you start your day by thinking of your affirmations before you fall asleep and having them close to you all the time you are unconscious.

3. Subconscious Reprogramming

Humans have a conscious and a subconscious mind. They work individually and are responsible for totally different activities in your brain. The conscious part of your brain administers our thoughts, reactions and perception. The subconscious mind collects information and patterns that explain the way you behave in certain situations.

This second side of our mind cannot separate the good and bad experiences, leading us to develop some destructive habits sometimes. These harmful patterns are often the reason behind the incapacity of manifesting properly.

Subconscious reprogramming is a technique that consists of replacing the negative patterns in your mind with the right ones that will help you escape the limitations you had when manifesting.

This system relies on subliminal affirmations, hidden messages in audio tracks that only your unconscious mind distinguishes. There are different websites and programs such as “Subliminal Guru” that offer the opportunity to access hundreds of subliminal audio tapes.

4. Offer more

Giving is not only about helping others. It is also about helping yourself. There is no need to spend money to offer. You can provide love, positivity, physical power, mental strength and spirituality.

People need your help, and there are so many animals that you can save and a whole planet you can try protecting from climate change.

Here is a list of kind things to do every day to raise your vibration:

• Open the door for someone.
• Volunteer.
• Call your parents and tell them you love them.
• Pick up someone else’s trash.
• Hug someone.
• Smile at a stranger.
• Give out compliments.
• Teach someone one of your skills.
• Talk to a friend.
• Leave someone in front of you in line.

To get our rewards from the Universe, working as a team is crucial. You must help others, and others will help you. Just remember that giving is more than donating gifts or expenses. It is about offering your time, effort and understanding to those who are struggling.

5. Vision board

A vision board is something wildly used in the manifesting world. Especially for beginners, it is a great tool that introduces you to the art of attracting good energies. These boards include pictures and terms that carry your values and your aspirations.

It is simple to create the board. Generally, you only need a large piece of paper, magazines or other prints, glue, shears and a few markers. You can add other decorative items if you want to make the board prettier, but if you are not so artistic, that is perfectly fine!

Before crafting, take some time to identify what are your values and what you want to achieve in your life. Think about the places you want to visit, about your dream home and about the people you want to meet or keep.

After you have put together the quotes, affirmations and pictures that remind you of your purposes, place the board in a place you see every day. Looking at it so often will keep your plans and dreams alive, and you will remain dedicated to your cause.

6. Embracing your inner child

We all hold a child inside of our souls, a sensitive and vulnerable side of us that seeks protection and comprehension. The child carries our most profound and longest secrets, dreams and aspirations, but also part of the barriers that stop us from manifesting. Working on embracing this side in us will contribute to overcoming those limits.

If you decide to discover this child, start by trying to understand its desires and feelings. Visualize the soul and explore its weaknesses and strengths. After you explored its nature, embrace it and learn to live with its fears and flaws, but enjoy its vulnerability and kindness. Only by finding the roots, you can start working on removing the obstacles.

It takes time to fully reveal this side of you, as it something you forgot existed. Slowly, you will notice modest improvements in your energy levels and vibrations.

7. Permission practice

It might seem unbelievable, but the reason behind your failures is not permitting ourselves to succeed. Inside of you, there might be false beliefs that accomplishment is something unachievable for someone like you. The fear of not being made for happiness stops us from fulfilling our complete potential.

Permission practice implies repeating affirmations that leave us overcome this obstacle because the truth is we do not need permission from anyone else but ourselves. Some potential affirmations are:

• I permit myself to feel.
• I give myself permission to be myself.
• I am allowing myself to receive the blessings of the Universe.
• I give myself permission to create marvelous experiences.

8. Affirmations

The first thing people usually do when they start manifesting is creating a set of affirmations that they aim to repeat as often as possible, in order to attract good energies and train their subconsciousness.

Present tense should be the only tense in your statement and you can repeat them when you meditate, before going to sleep or right after you woke up.

Some of the best affirmations to say are the following:

1. I am a healthy person.
2. I am in control of how I react to others’ behaviour.
3. I am worthy of love.
4. I am calm, happy and thankful.
5. I am allowed to take time to rest and heal.
6. I forgive those who have treated me poorly.
7. I am enough.
8. I am worthy of respect and I will not let anyone disrespect me.
9. I attract money easily into my life.
10. I am intelligent and beautiful.

9. Being with the right people

If you are seriously thinking about manifesting the life you want, then it is the right time to consider detoxification of the interpersonal relationships you have. You must pay attention to who you give your time to and who you let influence your energy.

People around us have the most noticeable impact on our energies and state of mind. Therefore, we have to make sure that our circle rises our spirit instead of lowering it. You want to be near people who have goals as high as you, who are motivated and want to see you succeed.

This positive influence can nowadays come so much simpler through the internet and social media. We can find role models everywhere around us, on Instagram, in movies, books and podcasts. All we need to do is search for someone that aligns with our beliefs.

It is okay to get inspiration from people who struggled just like you do now. Learn from them and allow their energy to motivate you.

10. Act “as if”

“Acting as if” is a technique used by many manifesters, and the only supply you need is your imagination. There is only one direction for this system. You have to continue your day as if you already have the life you have been dreaming about for the longest time. You attract what you are and not what you wish to be. Therefore, pretend you already have everything, and things will come effortlessly.

Besides being efficient, this technique is also fun and will help you go through your monotonous life. Imagining that you are in your dream home while you are in your one-room apartment can bring your energy to a higher level.

Therefore, instead of dreaming about the perfect future, transform the present into something excellent. You will attract the power to become the person you are presuming you are.

11. 17 second Method

Abraham Hicks, the author of “Ask and it is given” says that it only takes 17 seconds of continuous focus to initiate the process of manifestation.

The approach proposes to change your morning habits, and instead of looking through your phone, take 17 seconds to daydream about what you wish to achieve in your life. Think about the satisfaction you will feel once you reach your goals.

After those seconds get out of bed and start the day motivated. Once you woke up manifesting, it will be so much more natural to manifest throughout the day.

12. Movie Method

When it feels hard to imagine your dream life yourself, you should not give up on your manifesting for the day. Just put on a movie that aligns with your values and visualize your goals.

For some people, imagining feels like a terrifying chore. Not seeing the picture in your head leads to so much anxiety, and manifesting becomes overwhelming.

If you feel like that, then choose a movie, find the character you would like to switch lives with and imagine you are them. You can repeat the experience with other films that meet your goals, too. Today you can be the rich man who has a job on Wall Street. Tomorrow you could be the traveler that walks through Paris.

13. Two cup method

Everything you need for this technique you can find in your kitchen. The supplies are only two cups or glasses of water. Label the cup with your desires, then drink the water. It may seem strange, but the process has two scientific studies at its base.

The first relies on quantum jumps which are leaps from one dimension to another. These dimensions are parallel, and we sometimes fall from reality to another. In the manifesting process, people believe that we can arrive at the existence where our goals are mostly achieved.

The second scientific research underlines the fact that water can hold various energies. Therefore, when we drink from a glass of water, we absorb the energy we charged it with.

The two cups scheme is effortless to make. You need to label one cup with the desires you wish to manifest and the other with your current situation. Pour water into your situation cup, then pour it into the empty one, labelled with your wishes. The last step is to drink the water.
It is a good idea to prepare yourself for this technique by meditating or lighting up some candles.

14. 55*5 method

This manifesting practice is the simplest and consists of writing one affirmation regarding your desires 55 times, five days in a row.
Of course, there is a reason behind these numbers.

The number five means transformation and has powerful energy for manifestation. All you need to do is to choose an affirmation and concentrate on it. Write it down as described above and watch your desire manifesting.

15. Letter from your future self

You might be familiar with writing to your future self, not receiving a letter from the future self. It is an impressive technique! All you need to do is sit down and write from the perspective of the person you aim to become in the next few months or years.

Think about all your achievements, and describe them to your current self. Put the letter into an envelope and open it at the moment you decide to write from. Have you achieved your goals?

Conclusion

Manifesting is done in different ways, depending on each person’s character and values. Many people find these techniques useful and firmly think that they attract what they are and what they wish for.

Whatever you wish to manifest, these techniques are powerful tools for achieving your goals. Financial gain, love, or happiness, nothing is too firm for a strong manifesting program.

Even if there are not many scientific studies to support this method of accomplishing your goals, manifesting can at least boost your self-esteem and helps you become positive and motivated. There is nothing to lose if you try out manifesting.

As a girl, you have to learn his love language and understand his gestures to guess his actual intentions. Although it can sometimes become frustrating to struggle with his contradictory signs, if a boy goes through the majority of the steps below, he is undoubtedly worth the effort.

Pay attention to these signs, and if they appear in the relationship between you and a boy, it means that it is time to move on to the next level if you want to, because he is certainly into you. Here are 25 signs a boy likes you:

1. Watch out for his words

When you engage in a conversation with a boy, and you presume he likes you, then pay attention to his words. If you are right, the way he addresses you and his conversational skills will surprise you.

Do you have a dialogue or a monologue? If he constantly asks questions, he wants to know you better and understand your personality. Talking about himself a lot is a sign that he likes himself and wants to impress you with his stories.

While it is not a bad thing for someone to want to dazzle you, there is a big difference between men looking for relationships, and men who simply try to impress.

An actual knell is watching his phone, talking to someone else while you speak or even looking bored of the conversation. However, some people feel awkward and shy when they are around someone they like. Therefore, this behaviour might come in response to his nervousness. Try approaching him differently or getting closer and watch his reaction.

2. Gestures

Men must have invented body language because they are using it constantly when they are trying to impress someone, or even unconsciously when they like a woman.

Licking his lips while he looks at you is a clear indication of sexual tension. You can be sure that at least you attract him physically. If he continues by smiling and leaning towards you, then that’s it! You can call it a verdict: he is into you!

Guys will fix their hair and their clothes, trying to look their best for you. You can notice their position changing when you enter the room- he will stand tall, and he will show off his body as often as possible.

3. Weird acting

Did his behaviour changed suddenly, without any logical explanation? Not necessarily in a wrong way, but more in a weird manner.

For example, he loses coherence when he speaks or becomes nervous when you approach him, touching him unexpectedly.

There is no secret that men and women are considered to be two different species sometimes. It might sound like a metaphor, but there are actual differences in these two sexes’ psychology. John Gray, who is an author and a relationship counsellor, wrote a book called “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus“.

In his writing, he underlines, alongside other relationship discoveries that he gathered in his long career, the distinction between women and men actions. Therefore, there is a precise reason why understanding men feelings as a woman can sometimes be challenging and vice-versa.

The truth is, even our biology is non-identical, and our brains see things from other perspectives. This “weird” response can come from insecurities or even the disbelief that you are interested in him.

As John Gray also appreciates, men crave feeling needed. To create communication and avoid awkwardness, let him feel like a hero, like he can be helpful to you (“Not to be needed is a slow death for a man”).

4. Showing up where you are

First, it is fabulous that he remembers where you like to go. He pays attention to you and actually listens you, he doesn’t only hear your words. If you talk frequently about going to a specific place, you might suddenly see him around. He will, of course, make it look like an accident, which is certainly not the case.

Also, if you have the same group of friends and you happen to be at the same parties, he will keep “finding you” and ask to dance with you or buy you a drink.

5. Eye contact

Even if the man is shy, he will still look for your eyes. When he catches your gaze, he might turn away or maintain eye contact, but either way, he likes you a lot!

On the other hand, if he immediately breaks eye contact and his eyes start wandering around the room with no purpose, he probably is not interested. You can do the same to show him that you don’t want to continue the date or the conversation.

Notice his eyes in other circumstances as well. When you are in a bigger group pay attention to where he looks after telling a fun story. If his eyes fall on you, it means that he is particularly making jokes to amuse you, not the crowd.

6. Compliments

Compliments come in different shapes. They can be simple appreciations regarding your appearance or more subtle aspects of your personality, such as your kindness, serenity, or how funny you are. Yet it is not only about consistent traits that you have, but also about noticing small changes such as your new hairstyle or make-up.

At the beginning of the article, we were discussing about learning his love language. It’s obvious that not all men are good at compliments, so you might see them getting out of their way to show you appreciations rather than narrating it to you. Manifestation is their way of worshipping you, and it is just as beautiful as telling you how pretty you are!

7. Mirroring

Scientists have discovered that spending a lot of time with someone or creating a solid bond with a person leads to an action called “mirroring”. It means that you have similar gesture and imitate each other unconsciously.

If he matches your energy, talks more like you, or does the same gestures as you do, it means that he carries tremendous respect for you and admires you as a person.

8. Space is shrinking

Men have a strange body language, as we have already observed. They will lean towards you during the conversation, which will shrink the space between you.

He will sometimes pull away to impose his stature, but he will lean back in almost immediately. Men do this without even realizing it, but you have to be focused on their gestures to guess their intentions.

9. He is contacting you and stalking you on social media

A man who likes you will contact you as soon as he obtains your number or your social media account. Maybe you thought that only women stalk on Facebook or Instagram, but men do it as well.

They would even bring up older things from your profile in conversation. His little research emphasizes his interest in knowing more about you and takes every opportunity to find interesting details regarding your personal (romantic) life.

10. Excuses to touch you

A simple touch often makes the difference between friendship and a potential relationship. A man who likes you will gently touch your hand while walking with you or will lay his palm on your lower back to guide you.

The old trick from vintage movies when he pretends to yawn to hug the girl over her shoulders still works and it’s an obvious indication of his engagement in the possible involvement.

11. “Alpha” body-language

Some guys use their bodies a lot in the flirting game. They often show off their muscular arms, their tall stature or their legs. They want you to know how much they can protect you and what they can offer.

Therefore, if he tries to take as much space as possible and wears clothes that advantage his body structure, he wants to prove you a point!

12. He’s “Ignoring” You

When a man ignores you, he either dislikes you or is fascinated by you. Sometimes they like playing “hard to get” and avoid contact with you for a while. It can be complicated to understand what is happening when he overlooks you, but the safest card to play is reaching out to him.

If he is into you, he will engage in the conversation and will start smiling more and relax. He just waited for you to do the first step, too.

If, on the other hand, he sharply ends the discussion and leaves, he is not the one for you!

13. He doesn’t like seeing you with other guys

A man who likes you will be at least slightly jealous when he sees you around other guys. He will also adopt an angry and distant attitude. This behaviour proves that he romantically cares about you and feels threatened by other men you pay attention to.

Maybe jealousy will determine him to take action and approach you.

14. He remembers everything

If a man remembers the most trivial information about you, such as where you like spending your vacations or what was the book that got you into reading, then he is undoubtedly prioritizing you.

In the movie “Me before you“, Will offers Lou a small gift containing bumblebee tights. It seems like the most monotonous present, but Lou was thrilled, as Will remembered that these tights were her favourite piece of clothing when she was three years old.

He doesn’t just remember random things about you. He cares and wants to become a part of your life.

15. He watches your reactions

When a man likes you, he is searching for your approval. He wants to earn your respect and tries to watch your reactions to conclude if he succeeded.

In a group, he will always look at you after imposing a point of view to figure out if you agree. While he cares about others, too, you are the one he is aiming to impress.

16. He is talking to you about his plans

Men are usually secretive with their plans and will only share them with people they trust and care about deeply. If he opens up to you, he probably sees you in that future and makes space for you in his layout.

A man who  will talk about well-structured, long-term goals has ambitions and doesn’t engage in temporary situations. His love life is probably not an exception, and he sees a future with you.

You might notice him even bringing up children and marriage in the conversation. You shouldn’t be scared by his ambitions, but encourage them and share your plan, too. If you are on the same page, nothing should stop you from starting a promising relationship.

17. He laughs at everything you say

To a man that likes you, there is no other person funnier than you. You could have the most boring jokes or the dullest personality, for him it just doesn’t matter. If he laughs at stupid stories or your silly, awkward gestures, then he is falling for you.

We intend to make the people we like feel good about themselves. While someone that doesn’t know you or dislikes you would make you feel embarrassed, a man that is into you would rather embarrass himself by laughing or imitating you.

18. His friends leave you two alone

If any people know a man’s feelings, those are his best friends. If he likes you, they surely know and will intentionally leave you two alone, trying to give him the chance to make progress in a more intimate atmosphere.

Them going together to buy something is a sign that he has been talking about you, and he already confessed his feelings to his buddies.

If this is the case, then he is not only interested. His feelings are already advanced, and you should expect a direct move soon.

19. He is drunk-texting you

We are in our most vulnerable state when we are drunk and brutally honest. If a man contacts you while he’s out with his friends and had a couple of drinks, then it might be a sign that you are stuck in his mind.

However, be careful, because some men call you just because they want to have some fun. Notice when he calls or texts you and also his words. If he has been out for over five hours and he finally decides to hit you up, he might want a warm touch, not a relationship.

20. He invites you to family gatherings

If you are not even in a relationship yet and a guy invites you to meet his family, it is an enormous indication that he has serious intentions. Other couples wait for months before making such a scary and significant step.

The invitation also indicates that his family is aware of your presence in his life, and talking about you with his mother is probably the most undeniable proof that he is in love with you. He wouldn’t walk around in his parents’ house talking about a hook-up.

Therefore, a man who is ready to present you to his family values you enough to bring you to his safe place. Remember, the parents are the people who know him best. You should be excited!

21. He wants to run errands with you

Meeting more often soon transforms into dating, and dating becomes basic human activities. It might sound like a regression, but in fact, it is a good thing that you are comfortable enough to go grocery shopping together.

It shows that he loves spending time with you every day, not only on special occasions.

22. He will forget about his phone when you meet

The first good sign is that he is polite. It is rude to spend time on your phone while you are out with someone.

Secondly, he is certainly into you because despite being ignorant, we all fall into the trap of scrolling through Instagram from time to time. He is ignoring the messages and curious questions from his friends and focuses fully on you. In such a technological era, what more could you ask for?

23. He will walk slower

Studies, such as “Energetic Consequences of Human Sociality: Walking Speed Choices among Friendly Dyads“, made by Plos One, discovered that if you attract a man, he will slow down his walking speed to meet yours. Unlike this situation, when the relationship is strictly platonic, both of you try to adjust the pace until you find common ground.

While it might be hard to notice such a change in a man’s behaviour, paying attention to this aspect is worth the struggle. It is something unusual that will guarantee his feelings for you.

24. He will say cheesy words

Men are not quick to admit they like someone, and each word they say that lead to that direction is additional proof that he is taking you seriously.

Therefore, if he says “I miss you” and “I like you”, they probably do, and they feel like it is time to step up their game and show you how they truly feel.

25. He will compromise for you

Normally, a man will not watch romantic flicks, and he is probably not even close to a fan of extended shopping hours. However, if he likes you, you will notice that he makes compromises for your happiness. He might not adore each activity, but if you do, that’s making him happy as well. If that is enough for him, then he might be the one! Don’t screw it up!

Conclusion

Men are not easy to read, but they are not machines either. Just like you, they leave subtle signs, intentionally or not, that talk louder than his mouth will ever do. Pay close attention to his gestures and decisions, and you will surely figure it out!

If he is the one, you shouldn’t worry too much about how fast he decides to let you know about his feelings. But if you can’t wait anymore, just read these signs again and see if he matches at least a few of them.

Therefore, we decided to create a list of 15 tips on how to become a better girlfriend and help you bring the relationship to a completely different level.

1. Make him feel special

Men are also human, and they love feeling appreciated. Make him a priority and prove to him that he is valuable by offering him your time, understanding and unconditional love. Your boyfriend wants you to be happy, but he also needs to be given credit for his efforts.

Acknowledging the hard work that your partner puts in both the relationship and outside of it will cause him to look at you as the woman of his life who supports and appreciates him. This behaviour will stimulate him to get better, just as you try to get better.

2. Be honest

Nothing destroys a relationship more than lying. Even though you have made a mistake, you must tell your boyfriend the truth and face your blunders while trying to work things out. Lying to protect his feelings is also damaging to your connection because it will lead to a build-up inside you that can erupt anytime and be troublesome to control.

Tell him what you think about the situation, don’t let him assume things. He cannot read your mind or figure it out on his own. You must work as a team, fighting against the problem, not against each other.

3. Be loyal

The best advice for you is to avoid giving him reasons for jealousy to see if you get a reaction from him. Just like women, men want to be “the only one” for their girlfriends. Discuss and set boundaries of how far you can go with jokes and dares at parties to avoid arguments. Cheating creates enormous gaps in the relationship and obviously demolishes trust.

Even more in a long-distance relationship, trust is everything! You cannot leave room for interpretation or jealousy because the distance is already creating issues and putting the relationship under tremendous stress.

4. Inspire him to be a better man

The whole purpose of a relationship is to make each other better and to encourage the person next to you to evolve and become the best version of themselves. In any case, the development of this component of your bond will not be successful if all you do is give orders to your lover.

Stressing him out to go to the gym or finish his projects will become rather annoying than inspiring. Instead, try being a good model for him by being disciplined. Go to the gym and complete your project first, to show him that he can do it, too. This strategy works both ways and will help you develop your skills individually, which will offer satisfaction and leads to a happier relationship overall.

5. Share the passions

We don’t have to love everything our partner does. Maybe he is into sports, and you absolutely hate them, or perhaps he loves action movies, while you prefer drama. As a great girlfriend, you don’t have to pretend to like playing soccer or his favourite artists, but you must find the patience to listen to him and be interested in his passion.

Once in a while, ask him a question about something he enjoys, and when he explains to you how a machine works, pay attention and bring it up some other time. This attitude will prove to him that you are trying to understand his hobbies and the things he is enthusiastic about and will make his heart jump with happiness.

6. Don’t take him for granted

If you won his heart, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will stay like that forever. You still have to put in the effort of making him happy, of supporting him, of showing him your feelings didn’t change. Especially in long-term relationships, spouses forget their partner duties, as they get lost in the routine and in the guarantee that the person next to them will always be there. It is certainly not the case! A relationship means constant work and reassurance.

7. Find the time to spice things up

People are afraid to talk about their sexual side, sometimes even with their partner. They are often ashamed of their fantasies. Ask your boyfriend what would he like to try in bed, and if there is anything that seems interesting to you, too, try it out! It is okay to not want some of the things that he wants, but there must be a way in which you can spice things up. You can even buy a new set of underwear. He will appreciate the effort and will be even more excited.

Also, try to remain as active as it feels comfortable to you because long-term relationships sometimes lack intimacy, and it creates problems of confidence and connection.

8. Leave him the freedom to hang out with his friends

Even though you are in a relationship, it does not mean that you own your boyfriend or his freedom. He should still be able to see his friends, regardless of their gender, and spend time without you.

Causing drama when you see him hanging out with a girl he is friends with, or being upset when he spends the night with his buddies, will only make him feel trapped and suffocated.

9. Let him be emotional

Men have feelings. Sometimes it is just as hard for them to contain the emotions as it is for you. Your lover is allowed to cry when you argue, when he is watching an emotional scene in a movie or even when you compliment him.

You must make him feel comfortable enough to express his feelings freely, without any judgment. There is nothing wrong with him being sensitive. It means that he trusts you to see him this way and appreciates your support.

10. Learn how to compromise

There will always be things to fight over in a relationship. What do you eat on that day, where should you hang out, who should do the dishes? Sometimes it is hard to decide or let go of your wishes, but understand that if he gives up on his game to go shopping with you, you should also give up on your favourite restaurant and eat where he likes, too.

You don’t always have to compromise, but if he makes sacrifices from time to time, you should follow his example. It will make him feel cared for, and it will show that he has a word to say in your decisions as a couple, too.

11. Surprise him with small reminders of how much you love him

Expensive presents are, of course, astonishing, but not all of us are millionaires. It is okay to surprise your boyfriend with small gestures of love in public, with a home-cooked dinner, a love letter on his desk, etc.

It doesn’t have to be massive to make him feel appreciated and loved. It is always the intention that matters, and his heart will melt if he sees you waiting for him with a movie-night date, even though you are wearing pijamas, and all you did was to buy some popcorn and a cheap movie.

12. Dress up from times to times

Being in a relationship for a long time sometimes is equivalent to falling into a routine in which you are comfortable enough with your partner to wear whatever is most convenient for you. Don’t get me wrong! This adjustment is fabulous and a great sign that the relationship reached another level.

However, your boyfriend probably wants to see you dressed differently sometimes. Stepping out of your pijamas and putting on a cute dress or a nice blouse will be a pleasant surprise and will bring some fresh air into the relationship.

13. Try understanding his reasons

What your boyfriend does sometimes must feel unexplainable, even absurd, but you must sit down and talk to him while trying to understand the reasons behind his action. If you feel like he got upset out of nowhere, you don’t have to accuse him of being unfair, but ask him if there was any motive for his state.

Maybe work was more tiring than usual, or there was a small gesture that seemed cold to him. People are allowed to feel upset if there is something that seems like a big deal for them. You might see it differently, but you are two separate characters with distinct emotions.

14. Support him in his career and dreams

People struggle with their careers and aspirations, and as a partner, you must encourage them to move forward even when it feels impossible for them. Reassure him of his valuable skills and remind him of all the compromises and hard work he put into achieving does goals. Even though his dreams take another path than you expected, you must not judge but be there for them.

You can obviously offer him your pieces of advice and options, but if he chooses another way, you don’t have to be upset. Some people want to go to college, some want to travel the world, and some want to learn individually. Regardless of their ways, you have to be there and push them to become the man of his dreams.

15. Love him through his darkest days

Life is not only milk and honey. We fall, and we break, and it is normal to feel overwhelmed and sad. As his girlfriend, you must understand that he won’t always be down for the craziest adventures or doing the things you both love. Sometimes people need a pause from reality and stay at home, in their cosy bed. In those days, you have to love him even harder and to remind him that you are there for the good, but also for the bad times.

It does not matter where you are in the relationship. Your boyfriend needs to know that you are ready to conquer the world with him. It is not only his job to step up the game and become better, but also yours, as you must feel like equals and understand each other’s needs. You have an essential role in your boyfriend’s life, and you have to make sure there are no doubts and worries in his mind.

Lastly, love him with everything you got, and try learning each other’s love language. Don’t forget: you might show affection differently! We hope this article helped you become a better girlfriend.

As early as now, you need to build a strong network in order to get the big bucks. Today, we’re going to tell you how to really make money off networking in more ways than one.

Have your 30-second elevator pitch

Whatever you do, whatever your selling point is, you need to lay it out to someone in 30 seconds or less. This is why it’s called an elevator pitch. By the time you end up in your desired floor, you would’ve won over that guy you were talking to.

Remember: First impressions in the realm of business only have very short attention spans that expect something unforgettable. Whether you are an employee or an entrepreneur, ensure that you have the strongest grip around your product/service.

Print business cards

Countless young people think business cards are outdated. Contrary to popular belief, these cards continue to add tangibility and credibility to whatever it is you’re doing. There’s nothing like handing someone your card. Besides, it does make look and feel like a pro so don’t skip out on them.

Be on LinkedIn

There are 332 million users in LinkedIn, which is considered the most powerful professional networking site in the planet. Not only will you be able to display your work experience there.

You will also have the opportunity to reconnect with those people you met, say at a business conference or have your mutual connections introduce you to new ones. Use this cleverly and before you know it, you’ve established yourself among relevant people in your field.

Attend events

News flash: Not everything is online. Sometimes, you have to go out there, be somewhere and talk to people in person. Mixers or networking events are the perfect venue to strengthen your networking. These events will pave the way for you to meet key people in your field, especially if you’re eyeing to work with a certain company.

Just keep in mind that when it comes to these events, quality trumps quantity. It doesn’t matter how many people you were able to talk to and hand out business cards to. What matters more is who you developed a working connection with.

Join groups

When you are around like-minded people, you become more motivated to push through with your goals. A good way to accomplish this is by joining organizations and groups. Not only will you get the chance of building new connections. You’ll also realize that you are now part of something that’s far bigger than yourself.

Keep in touch

A common mistake among budding entrepreneurs is they fall short of following through. When you stay in touch with those you’ve met, you have a better shot at being remembered and being on top of their minds. Shoot an email or text message from time to time. Call and see how they’re doing. When you strengthen your connections, you strengthen your chances of bringing home the bacon.

Help goes a long way

Altruism isn’t only the right way of life. It is also an opportunity that could better your network. However way you can help someone, be it an advice, partnership, support or sponsorship, this kind of good karma goes back to you threefold. You’ll never know how successful the person you end up helping could be thanks to that nudge you gave them. From here, expect valued recommendations and introductions that will give you a boost.

Sure, knowledge counts when you want to make it big in this world but never forget; Connections are equally (if not more) important. Keep these points in mind and you’ll be on your way to the top in no time.

Today, I’m going to help you build your first wardrobe on a budget. You’ll be surprised how you can turn from average Joe to Mr. Cleaned Up Nicely in just a handful, inexpensive tweaks.

Know thy formula

The very first thing you need to learn about building your wardrobe is the core items. These are the pieces that will stand as your staples, each of which you can mix and match with one another. While they are your basics, you shouldn’t consider getting what everyone else does. Remember: A touch of your personal style is always the way to go.

When gathering your core items, keep this formula in mind: 2 x 3 x 5 x 2. What the hell does that mean?

2 pairs of shoes, 3 trousers, 5 shirts and 2 jackets (which double as a blazer and suit).

Sounds like a few, right? Wrong. With those staples in your closet, you have 60 unique outfits you can wear. From here, you can start adding accessories — but more on that later.

Clear out

I understand how hard it is to throw out that tacky cat sweater your ex girlfriend gave you but you got to let go, my friend. That’s not going to do you right with any other lady the next time you go out.

Clean out your closet to make way for new items. Sort out those that no longer fit you. Give up those you know would make you look like a fashion drag. Keep those items that you could still pair up with the new ones.

With a cleaner closet, you’ll be pushed to get a wardrobe upgrade. And fast.

Window-shop

No, you’re not about to turn into a lady shopaholic who prefers to go around malls for hours and end up not buying anything. This is, however, a very effective trick to find the best stores that have the best deals your money can buy.

Go out and window-shop in your area. Whether it’s your neighborhood mall, some thrift stores or a few other shops you’ll pass through along the way, take the time to go around and see what each has to offer.

Leave your wallet behind. Right now, you’re at a stage where you’re browsing items to add to your wardrobe. This will push you to move from one shop to the next and not quickly settle for what you think is ‘already good and cheap’. For all you know, the next store you could’ve gone into is selling original designer pieces at a nifty price.

A good thing to remember here is to remove all your previous prejudices about certain stores. Just because they have a reputation for being off your budget, it doesn’t mean they don’t drop prices — which leads me to my next point..

Be the bargain hunter

Here’s the thing: A lot of designer stores do go on sale. While the prices aren’t always fitting to your pocket, there is another way to become the world’s best bargain hunter.

There are a lot of clearance sales happening in your area, even online. Websites like Dapper.com is a good place to start. Plus, subscribing to these designer brands’ newsletters will also give you an exclusive and early look into how low the prices are. Don’t miss out on that.

Who cares if you’ve been caught dead wearing the same Burberry coat as the guy next to you? Chances are, you bought yours for a far better price and really, that’s all that matters. After all, you might have paid less but what you went through is a labor of love.

Raid someone else’s closet

It would be a gift from the fashion gods if you have a dad who’s stylish and has a similar built. Hand-me-downs are something you shouldn’t take for granted, especially when you have a strong desire to up your wardrobe game with a tight budget to work on.

If your father’s clothes don’t fit, go ahead and raid the closets of your brothers, cousins, uncles or even your grandpa’s. Vintage pieces are timeless, which makes it a perfect addition to your wardrobe. Speaking of vintage..

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize

Vintage pieces are just the start. Accessories are what you need to take your core items to the next level and at the same time, make it look like you’re not wearing the same old thing two weeks after.

Ties, pocket squares, belts, gloves, jewelries — these accessories will make your entire outfit your very own. So never leave these things behind. Otherwise, you’re going to look like a mannequin that came to life.

The same rule goes: Learn how to find the best stores to shop in and be on the hunt for bargains. With the right amount of patience and luck, you can end up with accessories of high quality paid for less.

When you do have extra..

Sure, you’re on a budget. That’s no problem at all but when you do have extra bucks to burn, go right ahead and invest in quality pieces. These designer items are expensive for a reason: They last a lifetime.

The key here is to learn how to maintain and take care of them. Once you do, they will serve you well for the years to come. You’d be surprised how much you’ll end up saving in the coming months for choosing to splurge that one time.

Building a wardrobe doesn’t always mean spending too much. All it takes is for you to be a smarter shopper.

Given the fact that you’ve barely made it out alive last night from the club, you should probably start thinking about the miracle of life and a good excuse for work. We’ve also gone through some similar situations and Heaven help us, we’ve never had to say that our folks have died, or that we suddenly developed cancer. This kind of teenage crap doesn’t really fly by and usually get dismissed in a flash.

Here’s a list of top 10 good excuses we’ve tried and, more often than not, got around to accommodate our morning (drinking) sickness:

10. Casual sick day excuses

This one’s the easiest. You don’t even have to put on a good acting show because you’re already intoxicated (with alcohol). Just cough a couple of times and tell your boss you’ve got the flue or a light food poisoning.

You can always mention “going to the doctor if things get worse” in order to strengthen your argument. Try to keep it short and simple, don’t come-up with to much information or other awkward symptoms and everything will be fine.

9. Can I work from home today?

This isn’t always such an easy thing to come-by because most of us can’t afford this luxury. For those who can, on the other hand, calling the day off is usually as simple as pie. But, as with all the things that come too easy in life, there’s also a catch … Most of the people who ask to work from home, are treated like they’re still at the office.

If this is your case, your phone won’t stop ringing so maybe you should fake a sore throat and communicate by e-mail… That’s after you’ve had your beauty sleep.

8. Car broke down

Don’t even think about saying that your car was stolen! Even worse, don’t say anything about an accident, someone blocking you or that your car was already a wreck. Usually, this excuse works best if you have to travel a few miles every day, in order to get to your workplace. Just say that it suddenly broke down and now you’re waiting for someone to tow you to the nearest repair shop.

You’ve already called a friend and require no help what-so-ever! “Thank you!” Also, keep in mind that you should be outside of your house in order for this to work and your Boss might call you back in a couple of hours to check if you’re all right.

7. Someone’s terribly ill

Whoever you choose as a victim for this story, never include yourself, any of your family or close friends. You don’t want to go into any of these stories, believe me. It might help you get this day off, but you’ll have to keep acting like you’re devastated, long after this week is gone. It’s just not worth it, buddy.

Instead, try to mention a friend that’s going through some hard times right now. Doesn’t anyone need a helping hand and a sympathetic soul once in a while?

6. Going to the Courtroom

Courtrooms are always busy. In fact, people spend as much as three to six hours in a courtroom before their case gets noticed by the Judge and Jury. If you pick out this scenario, remember not to mention any existant lawsuits. People will ask why haven’t you mentioned anything about this until now and hence, the fun begins.

Instead, try to say that you’re in the midst of suing someone and you need the day off in order to talk to your lawyer. That should give your boss something to think about this Monday morning.

5. Going to a funeral

Again, try not to think of a relative, close friend or family. You don’t want to spend the next month receiving condoleances for nothing. Instead, try to say that your next door neighbour was found dead and you were one of the few people he ever talked to.

DON’T say anything about being a suspect, though! You don’t want to go there, trust me!

4. Moving/Home emergencies

This Monday is turning out to be one of the worst days of your life. Your neighbour, whoever he might be, left in a hurry and forgot his water running.

Now, you’re trying to find the building’s administrator and break into your neighbour’s apartment in order to stop the water from washing the “whole building” away. Your insurance will probably cover everything, but you need the day off to get things done.

3. Education/ School or independent project

Multinationals love educated people. In fact, they love educated people so much that they create different programs in order to help students become better employees. I mean, what else are you gonna do with that college diploma?

If you don’t feel like working this Monday, then you’d better call your superior and tell him what a sh*tty exam you’ve got today. You’ll probably do extra time all week, but hey… you’ve got a free Monday.

2. You won a trip or something

You lucky bastard! Whatever you do, don’t say that you’ve won a certain amount of money, because everybody will expect you to buy them things and …stuff. Also, nobody will ever fall for a one-day-vacation in Aspen so you’d better ask for a few more days of leave. Expect a big surprise party at he office when you come back … on your expense.

1. Smart, work related excuses

Usually sales people get to use this one. Notably, sales people that are actually very good at what they do get to use this one. You can even say that you’ve been sleeping with one of the company’s top clients to the Boss. If you mention the sex was awesome, he will start clapping his fat hands like a money-hungry seal, and give you the entire week off… Don’t lie too much though!

Much to everyone’s surprise, an employer’s primary offer is never their best. So knowing how to negotiate a higher salary is actually a sign of a confident, empowered and skilled employee who embraces growth.

Like everything else in this world, there’s a certified way of approaching this and coming out successful. So if you want a fatter paycheck by the end of the month, better pay attention.

Do your research

No sir, you’re not going to barge into your boss’ office and pull off a Jerry Maguire. Before anything else, do your research. How much are you worth now? Your basic pay could be more than how much your job description was worth years ago. Collect your ammo before you start shooting numbers.

Come up with a precise number

A study recently conducted in Columbia Business School states that a precise number makes for a powerful negotiation. So if you’re going to talk numbers, really talk numbers. Try replacing a few zero and going from $50,000 to $53, 500.

When you give the other party an exact number, it gives him/her an impression that you did your research.

Be silent

Certain times, the other party does more of the talking. When s/he drops an offer, be silent. That moment of silence will likely come off to the other party as a sign of dissatisfaction. After that second of silence, repeat the offer and fall back into silence.

This Chapman method works because they come back with a higher offer in order to break that silence. If they don’t speak, counter them with another offer, one that you researched about. Like what’s mentioned above, give a precise number.

Send an email first

Studies have shown that salary negotiations impulsively done face-to-face usually ends with the more powerful person winning. Since you want to get the best price for your services, start by sending a very well-composed email.

This gives you the opportunity to thoroughly think about what you’re telling your superior. Plus, you don’t leave out anything essential. Just make sure you get straight to the point. Managers hate it when employees beat around the bush.

Make steady eye contact

If you do find yourself meeting the other party in person and discussing the subject, maintain steady eye contact. You have to show them that you are determined to walk out of this room with a higher salary, no more no less.

Don’t fidget. Allow your body language to back you up. You don’t want your employer to see that you are obviously anxious and nervous.

Sell yourself like you’re applying for a job

Your company already knows you’re an asset. Now that you’re asking for a higher price, you might want to try and remind them how much you’ve done for your company and what else you plan on doing for them.

Sure they have budget constraints and other things they need to invest their dollars on but tell them of the advantages the company will receive upon granting your desire for a higher pay.

Open up a bit

Share a few personal stories or details, perhaps tell him/her about how your father was laid off and you are now officially, the breadwinner of the family.

This is not to make them feel guilty. Opening up a bit to your employer shows that you are trustworthy and in turn, s/he would be more at ease and empathize with you as well.

Be flexible

Incentives go beyond having a higher salary. Often employees don’t get the exact amount of increase they wanted in the first place but that shouldn’t stop you from receiving extra credit.

Request for other things, like a four-day work week consisting of ten hours a day, an extra week of vacation leave, increased transit allowance, extra bonus or even your own personal office. Sure you might not have gotten the ideal higher pay you initially desired but hey, you’re bound to get more.
