In our busy lives it is very easy and also very common for
people to add more and more to their lives.
At our finger tips we have access to more information, more tools, and
more processes than ever before. The
wise person looks not only for new things to add to their life but also for
things to remove as well. This creates
space, time and energy. I recently
received a valuable list of 15 things you could give up to be happy. I have printed this off and it is something I
review regularly, I encourage you to do the same.

15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy
Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go:
1. Give up your need to always be right
There
are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always
be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great
deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it.
Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and
who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or
would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference
will that make? Is your ego really that big?
2. Give up your need for control
Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to
you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved
ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to
be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how
much better will that make you feel.
“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu
3. Give up on blame
Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk
Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle
5. Give up your limiting beliefs
about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!
“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle
