Criticism can be a costly business mainly because as humans we're rarely open to it and we tend to take it personally! So if you're about dish out a serving of the Big C make sure you have a smart plan in place...
Little Pointers That Will Save Your Popularity
It's all well and good being open and honest and letting people know what you think, but it's equally as important to ensure that your criticism is constructive so that you aren't seen as judgemental or overly negative.
Follow these simple tips to make sure your criticism is more than a personal ego boost: -
1. Avoid Unnecessary Criticism
It's important to make sure you recognise the good things that people do instead of focussing purely on their faults. Unnecessary criticism is simply a personal ego boost that does nothing other than give the criticiser a false sense of 'being a better person'. Avoid criticising where possible.
2. Offer Encouragement
If you need to criticise make sure it's sincere and that you offer suggestions for improvement as well as encouragement and recognition for the good things that have been done. By encouraging the good qualities in someone they will be more receptive to your comments and ideas.
3. Avoid Moralising
When people need correcting we shouldn't avoid doing it, however it's important to be professional at all times. For example, if you point out a mistake avoid adding any unnecessary judgements about how bad the person is to do it - this will only make them defensive and less willing to act on your suggestions.

1. Get Clear & In Control
I'm willing to bet that you probably spend more time planning your next holiday than you do planning your life - which is quite an amazing statistic since we spend more time on 'life' than on 'holiday'! If you stumble through life with no clear plan or goals in place it's highly likely that you'll end up 'lost' and victim to the daily grind. However, if you get organised and design the life you want to lead you'll feel more in control and will have a clearer sense of direction and purpose. Sit down, work out where you want to go, what you want to achieve, and determine your direction - the clearer you get on all of these points, the perkier you will be!
2. Get Healthy

There's a truck-load of scientific evidence to show that healthy living can increase your happiness and it's also proven that exercise is as effective as anti-depressant medication in treating depression. Stop putting time into excuses and start investing in your well-being - get fit and healthy today!
3. Get A Bright Outlook

Do you really need any more reasons to start having a brighter outlook on life? Decide how you want to see the world, and practice being positive. It won't kill you!
