Habits to Give up for Success

People love to depict success as a single colossal goal; a mountain they have to surmount. But the truth is, that mountaintop doesn’t even exist if you can’t succeed at the small tasks that are right in front of you. Success isn’t the result of one home run. Rather, it’s showing up to batting practice every single day, year after year.

Start setting a routine and building the habits that will lead to success.

Here are the bad habits you need to chuck right now if you want to reach your desired goals.

1. TOXIC THINKING

This is where it all starts. Negative behaviours and thoughts will only hold you back. Allowing a contradictory or negative mindset to take hold is like allowing a poison to invade your brain. Don’t do it.

Once you recognize the triggers, you can stop negative internal dialogue before it has time to bring you down. As soon as you feel yourself slipping into adverse thinking, pivot into the positive.

2. TIME MANAGEMENT

Texts. Emails. Social media. Television, reading non-performance books, anything which is not connected with your goals. All great things—and all extremely distracting.

How many successful people do you know who waste hours every day being a couch potato? Stop mindlessly flipping through channels. Stop wasting time obsessively scrolling through social media & all non-productive activities. Be selfish for your goals. Start doing, stop wasting time.

3. PEOPLE PLEASING

Not everyone is going to love and adore you. In fact, that should inspire you to work harder for those who actually “get” you. It’s time to stand up for yourself. Stop trying to justify yourself to everyone and focus on those people who are for & with your goal success.

Stay true to yourself. Success need sacrifice, everyone cannot see you as successful, choose wisely people around. Wrong people can destroy your ambition. Try talking less and listen more. One thing is very important that is your image in front of others, don’t please others, those who respect you & your dreams, they will always with you in all situations, those who are against you & your dreams will never with you instead of all flirtatious communication & pleasing activity. Raise your bar.

4. NOT LEARNING

It doesn’t matter how busy you are; reading is essential. There is so much to be learned from the great minds that have gone before. If you shut books out simply because they’re “boring” or you “don’t have enough time,” you’re doing yourself a disservice. Use the day by reading a good book for just 30 minutes every day, and you’ll be shocked by the new worlds of information that open up to you.

Reading is the cornerstone to learning. Stop learning and you’ll start failing. If you want to achieve your goals, you should invest in the skill of reading.

5. KEEP YOUR COMMITMENTS

A promise is a declaration that you will do something or will keep from doing something. It is your word, and it is an integral part of building respect and integrity. Again, keeping or breaking your promises can become a habit. If you get into the habit of constantly breaking your word, that speaks volumes about the type of person that you are.

Start with yourself. If you make a promise to yourself, keep it. If you don’t respect your own boundaries and your own internal pact, then why should anyone else? The only thing worse than pushing aside a promise or a pledge to yourself is doing it to someone else.

Follow through on your obligations. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. Any inconsistency in your word will end up biting you in the long run. Image only matters!!

6. HANGING AROUND TOXIC PEOPLE

Take a look at the people with whom you spend time. Are your friends goal-oriented? Do they have their own passions? Are you pushing each other to be your best, or are they bringing you down with their own issues and insecurities?

Whom you hang out with has a huge impact on whom you become—and ultimately on what you choose to do with your time. Don’t fall into the trap of staying steadfast to people who are flakes or can’t find happiness in anything.

Everyone has a bad day, and we all lean on friends when we are going through rough times. But avoid those who are stuck in a persistent state of negativity. They will only bring you down with their sour mindset.

7. EXCUSES / PROCRASTINATION

Nothing breeds failure faster than excuses. Excuses is a bad habit that all too often is picked up by others and becomes destructive, is a virus. It is essentially transferring your sense of non-responsible or searching comfort zone. This habit can ruin your life/goals /career from the inside because it allows the initial problem to fester. If you don’t accept your missteps, you will never learn the important lessons that can prevent future mistakes and lead to growth.

But by taking on an attitude of “the excuse stops here,” you will earn people’s respect and appreciation.

8. DETOXIFICATION OF MIND

Try meditating for 15 or 30 minutes a day, visualizing will see amazing results in your focus and productivity. Stepping away can often give you a better perspective on whatever obstacle or problem you are facing. Do more & more activity so that you can increase your behavioural skill.

9. MANAGING SOCIAL LIFE

Humans are social animals; it’s in our DNA but having too much of a social life isn’t good either, as you’ll likely be distracted, unfocused and unable to see your goals clearly.

You need to find a balance that works for you. The intention should be to find people with whom you enjoy your goals success. We all need friends who will listen to us and console us. We need our tribe, who will have our back no matter what. But be careful whom you let into your life and how much energy you devote to them. Remember that there is a difference between building lasting friendships and tumbling into social overload. The number does not matter in relationship/friends/family, but the matter is quality. You should keep less number of people surround with you, those who are with you in all situations, keep you inspired, keep you ignite to achieve our goals, enjoy your success & ready to sacrifice their success for yours one.
