8 bad habits to break
We all have bad habits, some more so than others.
However, when these habits prevent you from progressing in life or living up to
your full potential, then it’s time to ditch them. It’s not about attaining
perfection but more about living an authentic life and being someone that others
enjoy being around.
The following as some things we should fight against
doing if we are serious about being happy in the long as well as short term.
1. Jealousy:
That green-eyed monster means you no good. Many a relationship, career and
friendship have ended because of this negative emotion.
2. Unnecessary
Distractions: We all get distracted but the trick is to not stay in that
mode. Focus on a goal and have increment
checks to ensure that things are moving at a steady pace.
3. Procrastination:
This trait has been the cause of many missed opportunities. It’s okay to put off doing the laundry; it is
not okay to postpone looking for a job or paying your bills.
4. Drama:
Some people have drama buzzing around them like flies on a cow patty! Avoid
mix-up.
5. Self-doubt:
This makes you fearful of taking chances and risks and without risks there can
be no real rewards. No one is saying be reckless but at least be reasonable.
6. Lack of confidence:
This and self-doubt work as a formidable pair to try and conqueor you but you
need to see yourself in a favourable light, even if you have to fake it until you get it.
7. Indecisiveness:
You should at least have a basic idea of what you are good at and work from
there. No one has all their ducks in a row but write down the pros and cons of
what you like doing and use it as a launching pad to narrow down your options.
8. Lack of
Discipline: Without discipline you won’t get very far in life. Sometimes it’s
just a matter of getting up early for work or handing in an assignment on time,
just stop with the excuses.
