Things you need to stop doing now for your own good

Although most of us think that we strive for our own well-being in all our actions, from time to time we unknowingly sabotage ourselves. Distractions that waste our time unnecessarily, toxic people that cause us to fall into pessimism, fears that try to take over us, or our procrastination habits can steal both our time and energy, preventing us from achieving greater success in our lives and realizing ourselves. It is best to leave them all at once; starting right now. Here are the things you should stop doing immediately, for your own sake:

Let go of everything that distracts you

Social media, gossip, environments you don't like, negative people, endless series or empty content that you don't think will add anything to you... Stay away from all the stimuli that distract you, steal your time, waste the hours you spend with the people you love, and as if you are wasting your time and money. spend carefully.

Stay away from toxic people

Whether it's bad friends or family members who hurt you, the best thing you can do for yourself today and in the future is to stop making time for people who negatively affect you. Spend your precious time on people who make you feel good, enjoy chatting together, participate in activities, and most importantly, do not try to undermine you behind your back and do not darken you with their negative thoughts.

Do not hold on to negative thoughts

Life is like a mirror; We get the best results when we smile. Therefore, it is useful to talk about the things we are more grateful for than our problems. Having hard times, struggling with something, getting stuck in obstacles does not mean failure. There can be beauty out of a painting that looks bad; maybe today maybe tomorrow. So fill your mind with good thoughts instead of wasting time struggling in the whirlpool of negative thoughts.

Avoid unnecessary 'drama'

Being alert enough to get away from the 'dramas' around you can save you both time and energy. Let's define what we mean by dramas: The extreme and possibly ridiculous reactions of people around you to different situations. In other words, if there is someone who cannot cope with the situations you encounter at work or in your circle of friends, and instead drags both themselves and you into negativities with great reactions, it would be beneficial for you to take a few steps back...

By drama we mean excessive and unnecessary reactions that make fleas a camel.

Don't try to be busy all the time

The plague of our time may be the never-ending preoccupation. Although for most people, being busy all the time makes you feel valuable, hardworking, and busy, this is not a good situation when viewed from a broad perspective. You don't always have to be busy with something. Create time for yourself to rest, renew, breathe, recharge; not to be more busy.

Don't focus on what you don't have

Undoubtedly, many of us want and work for more than what we have; maybe new clothes, maybe a house, maybe a car or a new job… But sometimes our desire for what we don't have can suppress the feeling of being grateful for what we have, which can lead us to unhappiness. First of all, we need to know the value of what we have.

Don't compare yourself to anyone

Focusing on what other people have, keeping track of what they are going through and what works they are doing, will do nothing but put obstacles in your way. Life is your only concern with your life and what you do, what you will do; just as what others do is only their concern. You can use the time you spend comparing yourself to other people to move forward more confidently on your own path; the choice is yours.

Don't get stuck in the past

One of the best steps you can take for both your life and your relationships is to leave the past in the past. By choosing to forgive yourself and others instead of feeling guilty and angry about something in the past, you can focus on your tomorrows where you can still do something, instead of the past you can't change today. You are not the same today as you were a year, a month, or even a day ago; life flows, experiences continue, let go of the past.

Don't be afraid of your mistakes

Have you ever known a person who achieved great success without making any mistakes? Errors are the most important building blocks of development, growth and progress, that is, they are indispensable. Recognize your mistakes and learn from them, of course; but don't get stuck. Do not obscure all your thoughts because you have made a mistake, and most importantly, do not give up. Instead of regretting and regretting your mistakes, see them as an opportunity to move forward more confidently and move on.

Don't try to please everyone

One of the most liberating things we've learned in life is that we don't have to love everyone, and not everyone has to love us. Both are perfectly normal. There is room for disappointments as well as great happiness in life; they are all part of our life. Trying to impress and please everyone does nothing but steal your energy and time. Someone may be disappointed, you are not in a position to make everyone happy.

Don't be afraid to say 'no'

Think about it, how many times in your life have you been to events that you had to attend because you couldn't say no, even though you actually wanted to go? Or did you fall behind on your own work while helping a friend not to break their request? If you can think of a lot of scenarios, it's time to learn to say 'no'.

Don't be a prisoner of fear

Fear is an illusory emotion, not actually real. When you dare to change, you can get one step closer to achieving whatever seems impossible to you. Don't let your fears take over you. Instead of magnifying them in your eyes and in your mind, go over your fears, take action; show that you are bigger.

Forgive the mistakes of others

Tolerance can both help you in your bilateral relations and prevent you from worrying about unnecessary thoughts. Ignore the mistakes and mistakes of others. Sometimes everyone can make wrong choices and grapple with mistakes; This does not mean that anyone is inherently bad. Therefore, it is not anyone's job to interpret or criticize it.
