30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

I came across these tips, and I couldn't help but be taken aback. Because I know that I'm guilty of 25/30 on any given day, and more on some days. But these are especially applicable to my life at the current state, so I'll share them with you now.

1. Stop spending time with the wrong people.
2. Stop running from your problems.
3. Stop lying to yourself.
4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner
5. Stop trying to be someone you're not.
6. Stop trying to hold on to the past.
7. Stop being scared to make a mistake.
8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes.
9. Stop trying to buy happiness.
10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.
11. Stop being idle.
12. Stop thinking you're not ready.
13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons.
14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn't work.
15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else.
16. Stop being jealous of others.
17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.
18. Stop holding grudges.
19. Stop letting others bring you down to their level.
20. Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others.
21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break.
22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments.
23. Stop trying to make things perfect.
24. Stop following the path of least resistance.
25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn't.
26. Stop blaming others for your troubles.
27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone.
28. Stop worrying so much.
29. Stop focusing on what you don't want to happen.
30. Stop being ungrateful.

Besides those, just go out and live your life. There's nothing stopping you from living the life that makes you happy. If you live your life to please others, you lose your own happiness along the way. Stay true to who you are, and what you believe in. Keep those that support you close, and don't bother spending time doing things that don't make you happy. Remember: you are loved. Believe in yourself. Don't wear a mask in front of others, and don't be a people-pleaser: it's basically the same offense. Everything's an act when you're pleasing everyone.

Love life. Live life to love it.
