      Pictures will help it along with fixing the errors. When I first started writing articles I had many and never knew until a specialist told me. So I know what you are experiencing here. Well written article. Its just the errors you must fix

   Your article is certainly a lot better than the first one that some people create for HubPages. It does contain some English errors, though. Perhaps you could check the article again yourself or maybe you know someone who could go through the article and point out the errors to you.

      Can you point out a few. I have re-read the article but I am unable to find them. My article again failed the QAP.

         Hi there,
         
         Your title is grammatically 'awkward'. Try '8 Small Steps to Improve the Quality of Your Life'.
         
         Your first paragraph could be improved:
         
         "Ever think of getting better at handling your life. Sometimes at the end of the day, we hope we had better relationships, a little better health and little more of everything. This article is not a know-it-all, but you can try these small steps to see if you ever have a chance."
         
         "Do you ever think your life could be improved? Often at the end of the day, we wish we'd got along with other people better. Perhaps looked after ourselves and generally made more of an effort. Try these 8 small steps to make life more fulfilling."
         
         My suggestion is to read your article out loud and see if you can spot any clunky sentences. Reading aloud uses a different part of the brain and can highlight issues you wouldn't notice otherwise. Better still ask someone else to read it.
         
         Put your subheadings into title case and lose those exclamation points after Exercise.
         
         Try those things first and see how it goes

   I took a quick look to see what could be done to improve your article. One thing I noticed is there are no sources or references. You wrote: "Researchers say we are the average of the five people we live with. So, better be with people who are positive and lively." Who are the researchers? You need to cite your source. It gives you and your article credibility.
   
   For example, Dr. Grove, who authored the bestseller Relentless, and taught Michael Jordan to jump even higher, states in his book about being successful, "The people you spend time with..."
   
   The guidelines explain this aspect a bit further https://hubpageshelp.com/standards/HubP … tyle-Guide

    Review the guidelines, again. Though, you added one source that is not enough, and the guidelines explain this. Also, you don't have a bio, the guidelines explain how to do this as well. All the advice you are offering needs to have a source unless you are an expert in these areas, which reflects in your bio and gives credence to the article.

    There are a few English errors left in the article. For example, the third sentence in the "Communicate" section should say "will" improve your relationships beyond imagination.
    
    As Kenna has said, I think adding more references would be useful, especially when you start to recommend fitness activities. I find the suggestion that people learn to do a headstand a bit worrying. The pose can be harmful if it's not done correctly. It's probably not a good idea to suggest that people new to exercise learn how to perform the activity.
