Stop these 5 things to improve your life!
5 things we need to Stop doing! Talking bad about yourself. This is the first thing you need to stop doing. This time of year, most people are busy making New Year’s resolutions, but now is an even better time to evaluate why some things didn’t go as planned. We all have a tendency to put ourselves down, or make a light joke at our expense. Do this too often and others will start to treat you that way. Unconsciously, they will think if you don’t value yourself, why should they?
How many times have you said “I’ll never lose weight” or it’s too hard. Stop saying that and instead say, I know it’s hard, but if I don’t try, I never will. You will slowly begin to think you can! It Is all in your head!
Stop Being Negative
Stop being and thinking so negative! It takes no more effort to be positive than it does to be negative and you may learn you could do that thing you didn’t think possible after all. When you catch yourself starting to say or think something negative, stop and immediately think how you could change your attitude. We all know the person who gets to work and the first thing they say is “this day is going to suck!” or “This or that sucks”. That is exactly how their day will go! No one likes to be around or work with that person.
Not Good Enough
Stop saying it’s not my job. When you are asked at work to do something or help someone you don’t normally, instead of saying it’s not my job and refusing, why not help out or if you don’t know how, tell them you will find out. You will be a more valuable employee and may even learn something new and break the routine of your day.
“I’m not good enough”! You’re right, with that attitude, you are not! Try for one whole day, not to think or say this. When the feeling comes up that you think you don’t deserve it, say to yourself, “I AM good enough, and I do deserve this”! Bonus, your self image or self-esteem will start to go up!
Control
Trying to be in control all the time! You don’t need to have the last word in every conversation. Most of us like a spirited debate now and then, but not when it turns into an argument. You will find people like to talk to you more, and you will have more meaningful relationships if people are more comfortable around you.
Procrastination
Stop procrastinating. We all put some things off that we don’t really want to do, but that means, worry. We think about it instead of doing it and getting over it. We may even put off something we really do want to do!
Some people procrastinate because they are perfectionists and would rather not do something if they feel they can’t do it right.
F.E.A.R
Finally, Stop FEAR. You know what fear is, right? It’s False Evidence Appearing Real. *Failure: when we allow a failure to stop us saying things like, “I tried but it didn’t work” What if Henry Ford would have allowed failure to stop him? Or Thomas Edison? We wouldn’t have the horseless carriage or electricity! What others think: Who cares what other people think?! You’re not in high school anymore, and it’s you who have to live your life, not others. Truth is, people are much too busy living and worrying about their own lives to bother much about yours! Okay, so these are 6 things you should stop doing right now! Can you think of more things you need to stop doing in order to have a better life or to put it more positive, what can you do to change?
