30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:16am On Mar 15, 2015
#1. Stop spending time with the
wrong people
Life is too short to spend time with
people who suck the happiness out
of you. If someone wants you in
their life, they’ll make room for you.
You shouldn’t have to fight for a
spot. Never, ever insist yourself to
someone who continuously overlooks
your worth. And remember, it’s not
the people that stand by your side
when you’re at your best, but the
ones who stand beside you when
you’re at your worst that are your
true friends.

#2. Stop running from your
problems
Face them head on. No, it won’t be
easy. There is no person in the
world capable of flawlessly handling
every punch thrown at them. We
aren’t supposed to be able to
instantly solve problems. That’s not
how we’re made. In fact, we’re made
to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and
fall. Because that’s the whole
purpose of living – to face problems,
learn, adapt, and solve them over
the course of time. This is what
ultimately molds us into the person
we become.

#3. Stop lying to yourself
You can lie to anyone else in the
world, but you can’t lie to yourself.
Our lives improve only when we take
chances, and the first and most
difficult chance we can take is to be
honest with ourselves.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:18am On Mar 15, 2015
#4. Stop putting your own needs
on the back burner
The most painful thing is losing
yourself in the process of loving
someone too much, and forgetting
that you are special too. Yes, help
others; but help yourself too. If
there was ever a moment to follow
your passion and do something that
matters to you, that moment is now.

#5. Stop trying to be someone
you’re not
One of the greatest challenges in life
is being yourself in a world that’s
trying to make you like everyone
else. Someone will always be
prettier, someone will always be
smarter, someone will always be
younger, but they will never be you.
Don’t change so people will like you.
Be yourself and the right people will
love the real you.

#6. Stop trying to hold onto the
past
You can’t start the next chapter of
your life if you keep re-reading your
last one.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:21am On Mar 15, 2015
#7. Stop being scared to make a
mistake
Doing something and getting it
wrong is at least ten times more
productive than doing nothing. Every
success has a trail of failures behind
it, and every failure is leading
towards success. You end up
regretting the things you did NOT
do far more than the things you did.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:22am On Mar 15, 2015
#8. Stop berating yourself for old
mistakes
We may love the wrong person and
cry about the wrong things, but no
matter how things go wrong, one
thing is for sure, mistakes help us
find the person and things that are
right for us. We all make mistakes,
have struggles, and even regret
things in our past. But you are not
your mistakes, you are not your
struggles, and you are here NOW
with the power to shape your day
and your future. Every single thing
that has ever happened in your life
is preparing you for a moment that
is yet to come.

#9. Stop trying to buy happiness
Many of the things we desire are
expensive. But the truth is, the
things that really satisfy us are
totally free – love, laughter and
working on our passions.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:23am On Mar 15, 2015
#10. Stop exclusively looking to
others for happiness
If you’re not happy with who you are
on the inside, you won’t be happy in
a long-term relationship with anyone
else either. You have to create
stability in your own life first before
you can share it with someone else.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:24am On Mar 15, 2015
#11. Stop being idle
Don’t think too much or you’ll create
a problem that wasn’t even there in
the first place. Evaluate situations
and take decisive action. You cannot
change what you refuse to confront.
Making progress involves risk.
Period! You can’t make it to second
base with your foot on first.

#12. Stop thinking you’re not ready
Nobody ever feels 100% ready when
an opportunity arises. Because most
great opportunities in life force us to
grow beyond our comfort zones,
which means we won’t feel totally
comfortable at first.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:26am On Mar 15, 2015
#13. Stop getting involved in
relationships for the wrong reasons
Relationships must be chosen
wisely. It’s better to be alone than
to be in bad company. There’s no
need to rush. If something is meant
to be, it will happen – in the right
time, with the right person, and for
the best reason. Fall in love when
you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:28am On Mar 15, 2015
#14. Stop rejecting new
relationships just because old ones
didn’t work
.
In life you’ll realize that there is a
purpose for everyone you meet.
Some will test you, some will use
you and some will teach you. But
most importantly, some will bring
out the best in you.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:29am On Mar 15, 2015
#15. Stop trying to compete against
everyone else
Don’t worry about what others are
doing better than you. Concentrate
on beating your own records every
day. Success is a battle between
YOU and YOURSELF only.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:29am On Mar 15, 2015
#16. Stop being jealous of others
Jealousy is the art of counting
someone else’s blessings instead of
your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s
somethin

Hemmmm true talk
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:32am On Mar 15, 2015
#17. Stop complaining and feeling
sorry for yourself
.
Life’s curveballs are thrown for a
reason – to shift your path in a
direction that is meant for you. You
may not see or understand
everything the moment it happens,
and it may be tough. But reflect
back on those negative curveballs
thrown at you in the past. You’ll
often see that eventually they led
you to a better place, person, state
of mind, or situation. So smile! Let
everyone know that today you are a
lot stronger than you were yesterday,
and you will be.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:33am On Mar 15, 2015
#18. Stop holding grudges
Don’t live your life with hate in your
heart. You will end up hurting
yourself more than the people you
hate. Forgiveness is not saying,
“What you did to me is okay.” It is
saying, “I’m not going to let what
you did to me ruin my happiness
forever.” Forgiveness is the answer…
let go, find peace, liberate yourself!
And remember, forgiveness is not
just for other people, it’s for you
too. If you must, forgive yourself,
move on and try to do better next
time.

#19. Stop letting others bring you
down to their level
.
Refuse to lower your standards to
accommodate those who refuse to
raise theirs.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:39am On Mar 15, 2015
#20. Stop wasting time explaining
yourself to others
.
Your friends don’t need it and your
enemies won’t believe it anyway.
Just do what you know in your heart
is right.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:39am On Mar 15, 2015
#21. Stop doing the same things
over and over without taking a
break
.
The time to take a deep breath is
when you don’t have time for it. If
you keep doing what you’re doing,
you’ll keep getting what you’re
getting. Sometimes you need to
distance yourself to see things
clearly.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:41am On Mar 15, 2015
#22. Stop overlooking the beauty
of small moments
.
Enjoy the little things, because one
day you may look back and discover
they were the big things. The best
portion of your life will be the small,
nameless moments you spend
smiling with someone who matters to
you. Get off that couch, there is a life outside tv
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:42am On Mar 15, 2015
#23. Stop trying to make things
perfect
The real world doesn’t reward
perfectionists, it rewards people who
get things done.

Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:43am On Mar 15, 2015
#24. Stop following the path of
least resistance
.
Life is not easy, especially when you
plan on achieving something
worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way
out. Do something extraordinary.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:43am On Mar 15, 2015
#25. Stop acting like everything is
fine if it isn’t
It’s okay to fall apart for a little
while. You don’t always have to
pretend to be strong, and there is
no need to constantly prove that
everything is going well. You
shouldn’t be concerned with what
other people are thinking either –
cry if you need to – it’s healthy to
shed your tears. The sooner you do,
the sooner you will be able to smile
again
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:44am On Mar 15, 2015
#26. Stop blaming others for your
troubles
.
The extent to which you can achieve
your dreams depends on the extent
to which you take responsibility for
your life. When you blame others for
what you’re going through, you deny
responsibility – you give others
power over that part of your life.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:45am On Mar 15, 2015
#27. Stop trying to be everything to
everyone
.
Doing so is impossible, and trying
will only burn you out. But making
one person smile CAN change the
world. Maybe not the whole world,
but their world. So narrow your
focus.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:47am On Mar 15, 2015
#28. Stop worrying so much
.
Worry will not strip tomorrow of its
burdens, it will strip today of its joy.
One way to check if something is
worth mulling over is to ask yourself
this question: “Will this matter in
one month's time? One year’s time? Three years? Five
years?” If not, then it’s not worth
worrying about.
Re: 30 Things You Need To Stop Doing To Yourself by dajoaneke(m): 10:47am On Mar 15, 2015
#29. Stop focusing on what you
don’t want to happen
.
Focus on what you do want to
happen. Positive thinking is at the
forefront of every great success story.
If you awake every morning with the
thought that something wonderful
will happen in your life today, and
you pay close attention, you’ll often
find that you’re right.
