Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 266
Title: 10 Habits
You Must Quit to Be Happy
When you quit doing the
wrong things, you make more room for the things that make you happy. So
starting today…
1. Quit procrastinating on your goals.
Some people dream of
success while others wake up and work hard at it. Action and change are
often resisted when they’re needed most. Get a hold of yourself and have
discipline. Putting something off instantly makes it harder and
scarier. What we don’t start today won’t be finished by tomorrow.
And there’s nothing more stressful than the perpetual lingering of an
unfinished task.
The secret to getting
ahead is simply getting started. Starting, all by itself, is usually
sufficient to build enough momentum to keep the ball rolling.
So forget about the finish
line and just concentrate on taking your first step.
Say to yourself, “I choose
to start this task with a small, imperfect step.”
All those small steps will
add up and you’ll actually get to see changes fairly quickly.
2. Quit blaming others and making excuses.
Stop blaming others for
what you have or don’t have, or for what you feel or don’t feel.
When you blame others for
what you’re going through, you deny responsibility and perpetuate the
problem.
Stop giving your power away and start taking
responsibility for your life.
Blaming is just another
sorry excuse, and making excuses is the first step towards failure; you and
only you are responsible for your life choices and decisions.
3. Quit trying to avoid change.
If nothing ever changed
there would be no sunrise the next morning. Most of us are comfortable
where we are even though the whole universe is constantly changing around
us. Learning to accept this is vital to our happiness and general
success.
Because only when we change, do we grow, and begin to
see a world we never knew was possible.
And don’t forget, however
good or bad a situation is now, it will change. That’s the one thing you
can count on. So embrace it, and realize that change happens for a
reason. It won’t always be easy or obvious at first, but in the end it
will be worth it.
4. Quit trying to control the uncontrollable.
If you try to control
everything, and then worry about the things you can’t control, you are setting
yourself up for a lifetime of frustration and misery.
Some forces are out of
your control, but you can control how you react to things. Everyone’s
life has positive and negative aspects – whether you’re happy or not depends
greatly on which aspects you focus on.
The best thing you can do
is to let go of what you can’t control, and invest your energy in the things
you can – like your attitude.
5. Quit talking down to yourself.
Nothing will bring you
down quicker than berating yourself. The mind is a superb instrument if
used right, but when used incorrectly, it becomes very destructive. Be
aware of your mental self-talk.
We all talk silently to
ourselves in our heads, but we aren’t always conscious of what we’re saying or
how it’s affecting us.
As Henry Ford once stated,
“Whether you think you can, or you think
you can’t, you’re right.”
One of the major causes of
why we fail is due to self-doubt and negative self-talk.
The way to overcome
negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive
emotions that are stronger and more powerful.
Listen to your self-talk
and replace negative thoughts with positive ones, over time you will change the
trajectory of your life. .
6. Quit criticizing others.
The negativity you bleed
out toward others will gradually cripple your own happiness.
When you truly feel comfortable with your own
imperfections, you won’t feel threatened or offended by the imperfections you
see in other people.
So stop worrying about the
flaws you see in everyone else, and focus on yourself.
Let the constant growth
and improvement in your own life keep you so busy that you have no time left to
criticize others.
7. Quit running from your problems and fears.
Trust me, if everyone
threw their problems in a pile for you to see, you would grab yours back.
Tackle your problems and fears swiftly, don’t run away
from them.
The best solution is to
face them head on no matter how powerful they may seem.
Fears, in particularly,
stop you from taking chances and making decisions.
They keep you confined to
just the small space where you feel completely comfortable.
But your life’s story is
simply the culmination of many small, unique experiences, many of which require
you to stretch your comfort zone.
Letting your fears and worries control you is not
‘living,’ it’s merely existing.
Bottom line: Either
you own your problems and fears, or they will ultimately own you.
8. Quit living in another time and place.
Some people spend their
entire lives trying to live in another time and place. They lament about
what has been, what they could have done, or what might become.
However, the past is gone, and the future doesn’t
exist.
No matter how much time we
spend thinking and lamenting about either, it doesn’t change anything.
One of life’s sharpest paradoxes is that our brightest
future hinges on our ability to pay attention to what we're doing right
now, today.
We need to live more in
the moment.
Living in the moment
requires active, open, intentional awareness on the present.
Don’t fantasize about
being on vacation while at work, and don’t worry about the work piling up on
your desk when you’re on vacation.
Live for now.
Notice the beauty
unfolding around you.
9. Quit 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 you, and you’ll love yourself more too. .
10. Quit being ungrateful.
Not all the puzzle pieces
of life will seem to fit together at first, but in time you’ll realize they do,
perfectly.
So thank the things that
didn’t work out, because they just made room for the things that will.
And thank the ones who
walked away from you, because they just made room for the ones who won’t.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each
day thankful for your life.
Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for
theirs.
Instead of thinking about
what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is
missing.
