From my eBook: Upgrading Your Life by Joycelyn Marshall
1. Obsessing about the negative outcomes in the world when we can’t do anything about it. Instead, focus on the positive. Focus only on the negative, if we are working on a solution to remove it.
2. Not taking control of how we feel. If we feel accomplished, we are accomplished; if we feel we can achieve it, we can achieve it; if we feel we are happy, we are happy – for only we know our true feelings, our true desires, our highest aspirations and what will truly fulfill us. We are therefore the most powerful to always make us feel the best about ourselves. Don’t give this power away by caring what others think about you more than you do about yourself.
3. Not stopping to refuel regularly.
4. Trying to do it alone without help from others. It’s ok to ask for help, delegate and oversee when possible or accept help from others when the load is too much for us. We don’t have to do it all on our own. If you are spiritual, then ask also for divine guidance. Then trust and accept that what arises is the best outcome for you, at any particular time.
5. Always wanting to be seen as perfect by others’ standards. We are here to be authentic and true to ourselves. It’s ok to put our imperfections out there. We all have imperfections of some sort and none is worse than the other.
6. Not making “being happy” a priority, in any situation we find ourselves.
7. Trying to be something we’re not. If it sparkles doesn’t mean it’s better. Being true to ourselves reduces stress as it makes us happier.
