What Do You Need To Stop Doing This Year?

This year you need to stop comparing yourself to others! It’s easy to fall into the trap that we must somehow look a certain way or being doing certain things in everyday life. In reality, no two lives are exactly the same. By comparing yourself to others and attempt to measure up to a certain ideal, you’re robbing yourself of happiness. Comparison is truly the thief of joy, remember that and be happy with who you are!

This year, you need to stop checking your social media accounts every 5 minutes. We get it, you want to be up to date on what’s happening in your social circle or in the online world, but you’re robbing yourself of a lot of great experiences. Put down your phone and enjoy life! Connect with others, get outside, and learn something new. You’ll feel way more fulfilled and happy than you ever had before!

This year, you need to stop saying yes to anything and everything! Sure it’s great to try new things and step outside of your comfort zone, but you’re not obligated to attend every party, baby shower, or event you’re invited to. If you don’t want to do something, don’t do it. If you do, then say yes. Keep yourself and your own needs in mind. You’ll never please everyone, so you might as well please yourself instead!

This year, you need to stop ignoring your body! It’s easy to get caught up in everyday life, but you have to remember to practice some self care and take care of you! Remember to get enough sleep, a few hours of exercise, and plenty of downtime. Life is all about balance, don’t forget to take care of yourself in the process of making your dreams come true!

This year, you need to stop finding excuses for why things are the way they are! Bad things happen to good people. It’s just a fact of life. It’s easy to make excuses for why things aren’t going your way, but in reality, taking responsibility for your own choices can make a world of difference in your quality of life. Rather than focusing on what went wrong and why, focus on what’s going right and what you can do to make a better future.
