LPT: Log Your Achievements at Work LPT: If you have a job that does performance evaluations (every quarter, every year, etc.), keep a log of achievements big and small, and add to it every day if possible. It will have the effect of giving you a feeling of accomplishment (which leads to confidence), and then by the time your performance eval rolls around, you will have a list of …

LPT Giving Up Before Trying Anything Sighs I feel so overwhelmed that I just give up before trying anything in life than I ask myself like why am I feeling so overwhelmed and confused. I lack confidence and awareness. Seeing the amount of work and stuff, makes me feel like I have to climb a mountain before I get a victory but the main feeling of being behind, slow, confused and not…

LPT: if you think to yourself “my parent(s) would really benefit from therapy,” then you would probably benefit from therapy as well. One of the best decisions of my life. When I first started going I thought I was doing it to set an example for my folks. It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I needed therapy all along. 🙂 If you’ve been thinking about going to therapy, here is your sign to make that appointment. submitted by /u/bmerry1

LPT Request: How do you prevent snoring while on a vacation? I’m traveling with my friends next week and we are sharing a hotel room… I snore decently loudly, and I want to stop it in the simplest way possible. I’m considering a mouth guard, but are there other solutions I’m unaware of? submitted by /u/vashthestampeedo

LPT: When Flying in the U.S., Get In Your Zen Space Flying in the U.S. is a challenge. TSA is a pain, the airports are crowded, food sucks, gates get changed, flights get canceled, etc. None of this is in your control. Getting upset or angry won’t help. It’s a perfect time to practice zen. Relax, go with the flow, be prepared for anything, listen to instructions and wait your turn. And relax. …

LPT: If you have to throw away your old pair of shoes, save the shoe laces I have to get a new pair of primary shoes every 2 years or so, and when I need to get rid of the old pair, I always keep the shoe laces. I never need to buy a replacement pair of shoe laces when my current ones get ripped apart. Plus, a few of my previous pairs had a different color shoe lace (red, white, black, navy), so if I want to change the…

LPT- Don’t tell people you’re going to start something before you’ve done it Working out, beginning a diet to lose weight, starting a new hobby, start a resolution, or any other new commitment; I believe telling people about plans to start something before you start takes away the meaning it has. In other words it makes it seem like you’re doing that thing to get a reaction from others instead of making a commitment to b…

LPT Request: How to suppress dreams? I’ve always had very vivid dreams which I’ve never been a huge fan of, but in the past the worst it would affect me is giving me morning anxiety. It would take me a couple hours to decompress and readjust from an intense dream to the real world. Within the past year I’ve become a super light sleeper and my dreams have been waking me up multiple …

LPT Request: Should you avoid posting workout progress pics if you’re in the corporate world? I (M30) have made a lot of progress in my physique and took some shirtless bathroom mirror selfies. I was about to post it on my social media since it seems fairly normalized these days, and since I never have before. However, I am not sure how that is viewed in the corporate world as far as how it affects job hunting. I have a job now, but will…

LPT- Check your local sex offender registry Kind of a self explanatory thing that everyone knows, but it would surprise you. I worked in retail and I randomly checked it one day and recognized so many regular customers. One who had assaulted an 8 year old. And another one had actually hit on me and given me his number and never mentioned that, of course. Sure you still will see them all t…

LPT Request: how do I prevent an eventual theft from my cousin? My cousin has been coming into our home half drunk taking stuff from the fridge and also other stuff laying around. My mom doesn’t do anything about it because he’s “family” and even if we locked the door my mom would let him in. He would bang on the door in the morning drunk screaming according to my brother. What I’m worried is that he might e…

LPT: marriage is hard. Work at it Marriage is hard, pass the flowers and affection, pass the having someone to come home to every night. There will be arguments and discourse. But it’s a commitment like anything else. It’s a garden that you’ve sewn rhe seeds into. You have to water that garden and tend to it. But when you do, you will bear the fruits. So, life pro tip. Communica…

Go above and beyond only for those who reciprocate This is how you build the most wholesome relationships with those truly exceptional people. After awhile you’ll find yourself surrounded with amazing people and never lacking in support which is an amazing feeling. It’s a feeling I have now and I couldn’t feel more blessed. I hope everyone finds their tight circle of exceptional people. sub…

LPT: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. Hear me out. A lot of things in this life are about frequency not perfection. Habit not intensity or quality. Sometimes life is about stopgaps, volleyball bumps and good misses. And a lot of good things happen because of the aggregate of a number of choices you make. If you work out lazily once a day, every day, you’re going to in better shape t…
