Things to Lose

Blog post #275 of 365

Every time you remove something from your life you make room for something new. The following is a list of things we should lose!

Negativity. This one is a no brainer. I mean really what good comes in a negative package. This includes thoughts, actions, criticism, and self talk.

Gossip. I realize some gossip is not hurtful but you never know who might be hurt when you talk about others. It is better just to refrain. If you aren't gossiping you have time for something more productive.

Fear. It never got you anywhere. Especially fear of failure or success. Fear can paralyze so why even go there. Be bold. Think things through then take proper steps!

Procrastination and laziness.  Finding other things to do is time consuming. Worry about consequences is time consuming. Just get things done so you can move forward.

Destructive behavior. This includes relationships. Focus on build things up not tearing them down.

Excesses. Too much of anything is really bad.

Anger. Who does it help to hold on to anger? Chances are whoever you are angry at isn't even aware of your feelings.  

Ignoring your needs and pleasing people. If you take care of you first you'll have the time and energy to help others but going overboard is not good either. Learn when to say no and you will live a much more productive life. No isn't a dirty word.

Doubt. A big time eater. Go with your gut, do your homework so you are well informed and you will be fine.

I'm a work in progress so sometimes I slip into these behaviors but mostly I keep positive and clear space for more of life's adventures.
