Part 1 of 2
Here is a list of 15 things which, if
you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier.
We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and
suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves
to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today
we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will
embrace change. Ready? Here we go:
1.
Give up your need to always be right
There are so many of us who can’t stand
the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of
ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us
and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to
jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this
question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer.
What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?
2.
Give up your need for control
Be willing to give up your need to
always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations,
events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers
you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone
to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you
feel.
“By letting it go it all gets done. The
world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is
beyond winning.” Lao Tzu
3.
Give up on blame
Give up on your need to blame others for what
you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your
powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.
4.
Give up your self-defeating self-talk
Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves
because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset?
Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s
negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.
“The mind is a superb instrument if used
rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle
5.
Give up your limiting beliefs
about what you can or cannot do, about
what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow
your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings
and fly!
“A belief is not an idea held by the
mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle
6.
Give up complaining
Give up your constant need to complain
about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make
you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy; no situation can
make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that
triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate
the power of positive thinking.
7.
Give up the luxury of criticism
Give up your need to criticize things,
events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are
all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we
all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us
all.
