15 Things You Should Absolutely Stop Doing To Yourself

1. Stop Being Scared to Make a Mistake

There is a trail of failures behind every success story.

2. Stop Beating Yourself Up Over Old Mistakes

It’s better to say “Oh no!” than “What if?”

3. Stop Trying to Buy Yourself Happiness

There are more important things than money and material objects. Like cake.

4. Stop Acting Like Everything is Fine When It Isn’t

You would be amazed at what might happen if you knock on a door or make a phone call to speak out about a problem you have.

5. Stop Trying to do Everything for Everyone

Try doing things for yourself. Then, if you have time left over, help everyone else out.

Nothing magnificent ever came from the inside of a comfort zone.

There’s no such thing.

8. Stop Doing the Same Things Over and Over Again Without Giving Yourself a Break

Life would become monotonous, spice it up a little every now and then! What’s the worst that could happen?

9. Stop Putting Your Own Needs on the Back-burner

It’s like when you’re on a plane and the air-hostess is telling you what to do in an emergency; put your own mask on before attending to children or others.  How can you be expected to be of use to anybody if you’re not safe and well to begin with?

Lying to yourself breeds self-loathing and an inability to be comfortable when alone.

11. Stop Spending Time with the Wrong People

They’ll change you for the worse.

It will kill you slowly.

Self-respect and enjoying your own company is the key to happiness.

You know there are adventures to be had, people to be met, things to be done, classes to go to etc., so go do it! You have the rest of your life to be idle if you so choose.
