3 Daily Habits that Keep Holding 90 Percent of Us Back (Week After Week)
If it keeps you busy but will hold you back someday, itās a distraction.
Thereās a big difference between empty fatigue and gratifying exhaustion. Life is too short not to focus more on what matters most. And life is definitely too short for habits and routines that keep you stuck in a cycle of feeling like youāre a day late and a dollar short. So today, letās discuss three incredibly common patterns of behavior that keep the majority of us (myself included for several years) stuck in that cycle, week after week.
1. We keep trying to overcome the odds in an unsupportive environment.
No matter how strong you are, and no matter how much determination and willpower you have, if you keep yourself positioned in an environment that works against your best intentions, you will eventually succumb to that environment.
This is where so many of us make life-altering (moreā¦)

40 Quotes for Letting Go and Coping With the Things You Canāt Control
The goal each and every day is to gradually grow stronger on the inside, so that less and less on the outside can affect your inner wellness without your conscious permission.
Truth be told, how you cope with unexpected problems and frustrations can easily be the difference between living a good life and living an unhealthy one. If you choose unhealthy coping mechanisms like avoidance or denial, for example, you can quickly turn a tough situation into a tragic one. And sadly, this is a common mistake many people make.

10 Life Choices We Will All Regret in 10 Years if We Arenāt Careful
āIf onlyā¦ā Those two words paired together create one of the saddest phrases in the English language.
In the end, more than anything else, we regret the small chances we didnāt take, the priceless opportunities we were too busy to nurture, and the good decisions we waited too long to make. Angel and I have learned this over the past 15 years from the countless hours weāve spent coaching hundreds of clients, students, and live event attendees from around the world. The exact same regrets pop up in the personal stories people share with us, time after time.

6 Good Reasons to Stop Proving Yourself to Everyone Else
You wonāt find your worth entirely in someone else ā youāll find it in yourself, and then you will attract those who are worthy of your energy.
Sometimes we try to show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we canāt please everyone and we shouldnāt try. The beauty of us lies in our vulnerability, our complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections. When we embrace who we are and decide to be authentic, instead of who we think others want us to be, we open ourselves up to real relationships, lasting happiness, and inner peace.
Thereās no need to put on an act every day. Thereās no need to pretend to be someone youāre not. You have nothing to continuously prove. And if you catch yourself doing so, remind yourselfā¦
1. Itās important to honor your own feelings and boundaries.
When you run into someone who discredits you, disrespects you, or treats you poorly for no apparent reason at all, donāt (moreā¦)

3 Fundamental Lessons Most People Learn Too Late in Life
āIn elementary school my parents told me it didnāt matter what I did when I grew up, so long as it made me happy. āHappiness is the whole point of life,ā my father said. āBut it doesnāt always come easy. Your mother loves to help people in need, so she became a psychiatric nurse. I love reading, writing and poetry, so I became an English teacher. We both find happiness in the hard work we do each day.ā
A few years later when I was in junior high, my sixth-grade homeroom teacher put me in detention for ābeing difficult.ā She went around the classroom and asked each student what they wanted to be when they grew up. When she got to me, I told her I wanted to be happy. She told me I was missing the whole point of the question. I told her she was missing the whole point of life.ā
Thatās an old parable my grandmother recited to me countless times when (moreā¦)
