Some of them sound motivating, but in reality they only have a destructive effect. Of course, you can look at each situation from different angles, but it's better to know in advance which advices you should avoid and why.

Bad Advice #1 — “Always Be Yourself”

At first glance, it sounds right, but only if you already feel like a complete person who has achieved a lot and is completely satisfied with your life. If this is not the case, then perhaps the problem is that you refuse to change in some areas or qualities. Think about it!

Bad advice #2 — “Always give 100%”

If you have a very responsible day at work, when you need to show yourself to the fullest, then you can give it your all, but if it's an ordinary day, and you work until you sweat every time, driving yourself to unprecedented fatigue, then you should stop and remember: during the day you need not only to work, but also to rest. This also applies to household chores!

Bad advice #3 — “Always say what you think”

And this advice doesn't even seem positive. The thing is that it is advisable to think carefully about each of your words, because you can offend a person without even noticing it. Be tolerant, respect the boundaries of others, so they will respect yours too.

Bad advice No. 4 — “Stop working so that a man can fulfill himself”

You don't live in the Middle Ages, why is there such a patriarchy? Equality reigns in the modern world. If you and your partner have achieved it, then this is your key to success. If one of you has to sacrifice something, then reproaches and quarrels may lie ahead.

Bad advice #5 — “Always think positively”

Of course, it is better than thinking negatively, but it is even better to do it rationally and realistically. When a bad event has happened in life, you just need to pull yourself together and solve the problem, so you will turn the page faster, because it is not always possible to find the positive.

Bad advice #6 — “Get out of the comfort zone”

This advice can be very destructive, because a person can be most inspired and motivated only if he feels good and comfortable. Otherwise, she will try to prove something, cope with tasks, but internally painfully experience all this and suffer.
