Everyone wants to be happy and to live their lives to the fullest. Are there things that seem to be holding you back? Here’s a list of 5 things to quite – like right now.
Trying to please everyone
Yes, you should stop trying to please one. I’m not saying don’t try to please your boss or someone else. Nevertheless, it’s important that you remember to make sure that you’re happy. I know there are things that we all have to do that we don’t want to do. That’s just how life goes. The most significant factor of your life is you. It’s hard to please everyone when you’re not making sure that you’re taken care of first.
Fearing Change
The fear of the unknown – or trying new things is common amongst us all. Everyone has some type of routine that they follow. Sometimes it’d good to step out of your routine and try new things. Even if you end up not really liking it, you can still said that you tried. You may find that you enjoy things that you never imagined that you’d like at all. You may also meet new people who may play important factors in your life. Or even score an amazing opportunity all by setting aside your fear of the unknown. Confidence may not be the easiest thing to find but it is possible. You just have to take it one step at a time. So the next time you have the opportunity to change things up a lil take it. For opportunity is always there for those who truly seek it.
Living in the past
In my experience this sees to be one of the biggest things that people tend to hold on too. Some tend to feel guilty over mistakes they made or even angry of themselves. The longer you hold on to a mistake from the past the more it’s going to hurt you. Letting go of a past mistake is no easy task. However, it’s important to give it a try. You can’t find closure if you don’t initiate the search. The past is the past. No much how much you will it to it will not change and there is nothing you can do about it. You can’t move on and do better things if you’re forever stuck in the past If you live in the past when will your life actually start?
Putting yourself down
I know it may be easier to just see the negative side to things, but you have to believe in yourself. Don’t listen to the societal guidelines. Just be true to yourself. It may be hard at sometimes but it’s only because of the oppressive views of the society we live in today. You should do, wear, and be who YOU want to be. You shouldn’t be put down for using your freedom of expression. You may not realize it yet but you were meant for greatness. Whenever you start to feel down about yourself remember that you are Someone – You can be and do anything if you put your mind to it. The first step is believing in yourself.
Overthinking
Let’s face it, we’re all guilty of this. Whether it’s done right before a test, a date, or meeting we’ve all done it. Overthinking sometimes is our way to see all possible outcomes so that we’re not disappointed if things head south. However, overthinking is also a burden.
Quit these 5 things and you'll be on your way to a more free life. I'm not saying that it will be easy but it's worth a try.
