Are you finding life more of a struggle?
With more distractions, more bills, and more choices, it can feel as though weâre not making any progress.
As technology disrupts multiple industries, many people are trying to build their own business or start the much talked about side hustle.
The struggle is real, and after a few years, we can start to wonder why our goals havenât come to fruition. The networking, up skilling, and hustle might not have paid off.
We can question and throw blame, but in truth, our failure to progress is often because we need to be someone new, in order to achieve something we havenât achieved before.
If you are in this situation, feeling exhausted of the grind, and wondering why youâre not getting your break, then it might be time to change who you are being. What are you willing to sacrifice?
Here are the 3 things you need to stop doing immediately if you want to be successful:
1. The Clothes Maketh The Person: Stop owning so many clothes.
We understand the power of what we wear, and how it can impact the first impression that we make, but do we have too many choices?
Over the years, our wardrobes have grown to the point that the idea of moving house fills us with dread.
We have lost count of just how many items we have, as each year they are added by the various holidays and celebrations that suggest clothing as a quick and easy present choice. Buying clothes can be fun too, and we all like to wear new items.
The problem is that in our fast paced, multiple choice, lives, itâs all too easy to suffer from decision fatigue.
It takes energy to make decisions, and we can be assaulted by choices every moment of the day. We need to limit this by building habits such as the route to work we take, what we have for breakfast, and what clothing we wear.
You probably have a style that suits you, and an outfit or two that makes you feel confident and attractive. So why not replicate that every day?
You will not be alone. In fact, you will be in the company of Presidents and CEOâs. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Barack Obama, all had a small interchangeable wardrobes.
Your aim is to limit the choice, know you will look good and be comfortable, and as an added bonus, you will be adding to your personal brand.
âIâm trying to pare down decisions. I donât want to make decisions about what Iâm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.â â Barack Obama
2. Body Eating Spirit or Water Of Life? Stop drinking alcohol.
Alcohol can be seen as a great way to relax, network, or deal with imposter syndrome. It can calm the nerves, feels like it boosts creativity, and help us de-stress. Sadly, it can also get out of hand, cause regret, waste time and money.
Alcohol does have an impact. If youâre not happy, or are struggling to achieve your goals, it may be time to quit drinking and see what happens.
Recently, Justin Kan, the 35 year old that sold Twitch to Amazon for $1 Billion, has stated that he has given up alcohol as it was preventing him from being fully in touch with his emotions and his experience of life.
Other big names such as Warren Buffet, Tyra Banks, and Jennifer Lopez are also teetotal. It might be a struggle at first, but there will be many benefits that begin to appear over time.
Even in the short term, you will have better quality sleep, more energy and focus, as well as a fighting fund of additional cash. Giving up alcohol may just give you that slight edge you need to win.
3. Your Life Is Not A Soap Opera, Stop with the drama.
As human beings, we are natural storytellers. We can be happily productive and going about our day until we hear a colleague telling a story. It might be meaningless, and have nothing to do with our lives or our work, yet we need to know what happens!
As the characters fall into place and the drama unfolds, we begin to get involved in a narrative that has nothing to do with our own journey.
We want to be part of the fairy tale, with the villain, the hero, the overcoming of obstacles. Sadly, what we often end up with is merely gossip. Gossip that often has nothing to do with reality.
âAnyone who will gossip to you, will gossip about you.â
We know our goal and what we want to achieve.
The drama is a distraction pulling us off target. It is another form of procrastination. We may even be attracting it by mind reading and creating fictional motivations for those around us to cause us stress.
We need to remove the drama from our lives and focus on creating a calm and conflict free environment that prioritizes effective communication and the reality of the situation.
