What To Expect?

In today’s article, 5 things you must not do in life that stops success.

I will explain the preventive measures we need to apply to move our life forward. We should look at all the things we must stop that holds us back. Looking at it as anchors that weigh us down so much that it stops us from succeeding. Only then can you find solutions to move forward.

I hope this article opens your mind to self-awareness and a change you have been searching for.

What Prevents Success?

For me, this is a simple question to answer. The answer is YOU! There’s always obstacles and different challenges we all have to face in different ways. What gets in the way the most is ourselves. Whether it’s doubt, fear or a lack of self-confidence. It’s our own mind that needs to change to be a success.

I think we all deal with this. But the people who do succeed are the one’s who don’t let it control them and find ways to prevent it from surfacing or find ways to push through it.

The human brain will always let you know when it perceives something as being dangerous but you always have the choice to listen to it or ignore it and do it anyway. In some cases this is good but when it comes to overcoming our fears we silence that voice. For example, the brain can only see you jumping out of the plane as danger whereas your human part knows that you are skydiving.

Working together with your brain to understand your life by knowing the difference between danger and progress can help you achieve a lot more success.

To make sure our mind doesn’t hold us back. There are 5 things you must not do in life that stops success that I will discuss below. Once we get out of our own way. Then we can enjoy all the successes we have envisioned.

5 Things You Must Not Do In Life That Stops Success

1. Don’t Live With Regret

One of the most painful things the older generation say is they regret the things they didn’t do or regret not being happier. No one wants to get old and have major regrets. That’s why you have to look at it every day as if this was the last day on earth.

This thinking will unlock a feeling of urgency and purpose. Because when you don’t think like this you can use good old procrastination and say to yourself I will do it tomorrow. This mentality does not understand we only have a short time on Earth.

That’s why you should make it your life purpose to take more risks, to do the things you love to do, spend it with the people you love and travel to the places you have always wanted to visit.

Get out of your own way and make this happen. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

2. Don’t Live With Fear

Fear can affect us all in different ways. It can be great when sensing real danger like spider-sense but it’s not too good at switching off when we need to overcome our fears to progress.

That’s why we can’t always listen to fear, we must rationalise for the world we live in today not the one we lived in thousands of years ago. Living with fear holds people back so much from pursuing their goals and wants in life.

That’s why we need to chase our discomforts because on the other side of fear you experience a whole range of different emotions, like happiness and proudness.

So get out of your own head and do the things you want to do and when fear pops up again let it flow through you and do it anyway.

3. Don’t Live With Too Much Comfort

We live life these days like never before in human history. The kings and queens of the past might even be jealous. But one thing successes hates is comfort because nothing of progress comes from a mindset of comfort. Why? Because you will never push your self into a position where you might fail or make mistakes.

That’s why you should seek and chase discomfort as your life depends on it. Basic comfort needs are great but you need to find ways to condition yourself to not let this become everything you are. Just watch Rocky 4.

Comfort breeds complacency you just have to look at sports stars who let their comforts change them into different people. Whereas what got them to the top was the discomfort. Don’t let comfort suck you in or else you will be trapped and lead an unfulfilled life.

4. Don’t Live With A Mindset Of What Always Was

Living in the past can seriously hold you back if you let it. Just like the anchor analogy. Being anchored to the past stops any progress in the present and future. You have to learn to go to the past for good feelings.

The world changes, people change and the ability to adapt to the changing times is crucial to keeping ahead of the game of life. If you just keep doing what you did in the past then watch your business crumble.

We see it all the time with retail giants having to sell up because they didn’t go online. Instead of having a mindset, this has always been the way you should have what could be a new way.

5. Don’t People Please

Deep down we all know what we want to do with our life. But sometimes our attachment to our family’s wants can hold us back. If we people please too much we will surely affect our mental health and become unhappy with the person we are becoming that’s not who we are. So don’t people please. Look out for you and what you want from your life.

In today’s article, 5 surprising habits that drain your mental well-being over time. I will discuss what habits you need to get rid of in your life. If draining habits are left to grow it will slowly drain your mental well-being. Over time you will notice a lack of focus, alienation and poor execution of tasks. This mentality will hold you back. So if you are doing any of the habits below I have left a quick solution to your problems. I hope it helps!

5 Surprising Habits That drain Your Mental Well-Being Over Time

1. Habit Of Being Messy

If not ourselves we all know someone who’s messy. There are even successful people who are messy as well.

But for ultimate productivity, and overall mental well-being. Research has shown that a cluttered workspace drags the mind away from focussing on what it needs to do.

A MIR scan showed that within the prefrontal cortex. It showed that too many distractions can affect the mind’s focus. It showed that the brain is not good at blocking out clutter, leading to the mind overworking and becoming drained because of too much clutter.

Solution – Take a tip from all the minimalist out there and apply their strategy to your life. It will allow for clean workspaces, home and you will see your focus and mental wellbeing skyrocket.

2. Habit Of Making Excuses

No one wants to admit when their wrong or didn’t achieve their intended goal. But getting into the habit of making excuses can lead to bad implications for your future wellbeing. The lack of vulnerability to give growth to the inflated ego will eventually lead you down a path where you will become stuck in life and won’t able to move forward.

Solution – Open your mind to a growth mindset where you can openly admit to your mistakes and failures. It might be immediately painful but in the long term important for future growth. Making excuses doesn’t help you in any way. Just remember it’s just your ego your protecting.

3. Habit Of Perfectionism

We all want to be the best but at what cost when attaining perfection. Perfection can lead us down a path where we have to get everything perfect before we start anything. Which becomes a form of procrastination without any action. Perfectionism can also be damaging for your mental wellbeing by setting your goal too high to attain because you want it to be perfect. This can lead to worthlessness, stress and a sense of failure.

Solution – Understand that nothing is perfect and being unperfect is ok. Changing your habit of perfectionism to giving your best effort and focussing on moving forward with intention will lead to happiness and mental wellbeing. Of course, there is a positive to striving for perfectionism but at what cost if you go too far with it. Definitely, a balancing act and self-awareness are key for it not ruling your life.

4. Habit Of Multi-Tasking

Some people take pride in their ability to multi-task. In some cases, it can have its benefits. For productive work, it doesn’t. Your brain is limited just like any power unit. If your multitasking on 5 things at once then you’re outputting at 20% efficiency for each task. You are therefore not giving your main priority it’s full attention.

You can see this in relationships when someone is talking and the other person on the phone whilst listening or a baby wants your attention but you’re focussed on watching TV. The attachment with that person gets slightly damaged as they don’t feel your full attention. This matters and is a reason for marriage breakups and attachment problems from children which lead them to find it with someone else.

Solution – There’s only so much we can focus on. Making it our priority to focus solely on one task or person at a time. Can help us overcome multitasking fatigue and relationship difficulties.

5. Habit Of Doing It Alone

Humans are built to work together for future growth. We are social animals and live to make connections with others. When we try and do everything ourselves. We just make our life 10 times harder. It can be hard to reach out for help. But it’s all ego and negative thinking going on in your mind. Outsourcing and automating our life helps to move forward quicker. The most successful people understand that having a team around you helps elevate your success.

Solution – Ask for help and build a team or support network around you that can make your life easier and enjoyable. This will help your mental well-being not feel overwhelmed and alone.
