5 Life Changing Habits to Incorporate into Your Week
1. Let go of grudges
Holding onto a grudge can harbor lots of ill and negative feelings. Forgiving those that have wronged or harmed you is not only good for them, but it’s even better for you and your well-being. When you’re deciding to forgive someone and let go of the grudge—it’s solely for you and your well-being. Letting go of that grudge doesn’t mean you’re excusing their actions or even letting them back into your space, it means you’ve decided to let go of the pain and move forward with a brighter and healthier future, so learn to let go of those grudges and move forward with a clean slate and peace of mind.
2. Let go of comparisons
We've heard it several times and it absolutely rings true, but comparison is the thief of joy. When you allow yourself to be compared to others—you are ultimately setting yourself up for failure. Learn how to bask in your purpose and appreciate everything that is you. When you compare what you have to others, you will always be dissatisfied, so remember “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but rather where you water it.”
3. Let go of toxic people, places and things
Toxicity can be an awful trait to possess. People that are intentionally malicious in their actions need to be removed from your life ASAP! If you are surrounded by people that are secretly rooting for you to fail and are full of envy and insecurities—let them go. Don’t let toxic people drain your energy and cause you to become negative—misery loves company and you don’t want to be the company they keep! The moment you learn to let go of those toxic people, places and things — the better of you'll be.
Pride can be a good thing however when it becomes extreme and is used negatively—that’s when it’s time to let it go! If you allow your pride to get the best of you, you may breed about other negative traits that won’t allow you to grow and learn. Pride is very powerful and can destroy relationships, so before you allow it to get to that point—let it go in order to promote a healthier and happier you.
5. Let go of fear
Fear is a scary thing for all of us. It brings about change and uncertainty of the unknown and it often tests our character. Being afraid—whether it’s afraid of failing, afraid of change or even afraid of success, you must let that feeling go. You never know what you may be capable of achieving and conquering if you remove that feeling of fear from your life and simply take a chance. Don't let fear keep you from propelling forward.
