The intertubes have been full of lists lately. Mostly lists about what you SHOULD be doing if you have any hope of:
- being wildly successful
- being insanely rich
- being Maslow-level self-actualizing
- being happy, happy, happy. And also happy.
Over the next month, I’m going to dribble out this fantastic list of things to STOP doing. Created by lifehackers Marc and Angel, you can of course go read the whole thing now. But I’m hoping to help you consider each one for an entire day. Think about how you are tempted to do that thing throughout your day. How does it play in to your relationships with your co-workers? Your family? Is this a big one for you – or you figured this one out in your 20s?
(ATTENTION: SHAMELESS PLUG FOR ENGAGEMENT TO FOLLOW. Ahem.)
Let’s get a conversation started about how you have overcome these buggaboos or how you seem to be fiercely hanging on to them.
Thanks to {Life}Buzz for bringing this list, and Marc and Angel, to our attention!
#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.
