6 of 30 Things to Stop Doing To Yourself and Start Doing For Yourself

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.


Everyone has a past, good or bad, but its just that; its the past.  We can use the past to define our future or we can CHANGE it.  How many people do you know play the victim role?  Their life is surrounded by this happened to me, that happened to me, and its still happening to me.  Step outside the victim role and rethink the things you are attracting, only then can you start to change what your future may hold, instead of the past holding you.  WM OF PBC


Start noticing and living in the present. – Right now is a miracle.  Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you.  Right now is life.  So stop thinking about how great things will be in the future.  Stop dwelling on what did or didn’t happen in the past.  Learn to be in the ‘here and now’ and experience life as it’s happening.  Appreciate the world for the beauty that it holds, right now.


Get that bucket list out and start doing some of the things on it.  Don't wait for retirement to do things you would love to do.  We don't know what the future holds and if you wait on the future to enjoy what you can do right now, you may find regret when you get older.  If there are things you want to do physically when you get enough money, when you get enough time, when you figure it out, DO THEM.  What happens if you lose your physical capabilities and didn't even try when you could?  Don't regret living life when there is no reason not to live it TODAY.  WM OF PBC

We are the only one who can 'make' ourselves do anything. So we have to get it right and follow through on our own plans.

absolutely Connie, WE make excuses for living everyone else's lives and therefore we regret when we get older and didn't explore and experience things we wanted to
