With the new year approaching fast and most people getting ready to be on their new year new me kicks, I thought it fitting to help you out before the new year is here. I wanted to let you know that this will not be your year if you don’t leave these 7 things behind in 2022.
Most people want to change but not at the cost of giving up who they are now to become who they need to be. Truth is we don’t change over night, we can make a decision over night to change but we don’t actually get through the entire process of change in one night. So, whether it’s Dec 31, 2022 or Jan 1, 2023 we will be exactly who we always have been until we get through our process by changing some habits, mindsets, and the people around us.
Let’s talk about then how we are going to change our mindset in this new year by leaving behind these 7 things that limit our potential.
1. The Opinions of Others
There are a lot of people not creating how they need to because they are to concerned about what others think and say about them. We have to realize that people that are in the business of judging others are the ones not doing enough anyways. These are the people that are not taking any action anyways. The people that are taking constant action have no time to even look up to see what other people next to them are doing. Stop allowing these people opinions of you to ruin your day or knock you off your game. Stay focused on your lane and keep it moving.
2. Waiting for The Right Time
I talked about this on the second episode of She’s the Plug here. There is no better time than right now to go after the things you want in life. Stop all this waiting and stop allowing outside events to control when it’s time to start working on your goals and dreams. The time is now make a promise to yourself that you will take action right away.
3.Doubting your Skills and Abilities
You will have so much confidence in yourself when you learn to really own the things you can do well. By becoming a professional and really building your skillset you will no longer doubt what your capable of. When you know what you have to offer the world you no longer have to doubt your worth because you know that you are worthy. This doesn’t mean that the doubt and fear goes away you just have to learn to move with it. Just move until you realize you don’t have them anymore and once that happens increase your prices.
4.Comparing Yourself to Others
Comparing where you are in your journey to someone else who may have been doing it longer is a sure way to decrease your confidence in yourself. Never let the world pressure you into being in a place that it’s taken someone else years to be at. You are where you are in your journey and your right on time. Stop looking at what others are doing focus on what your purposed to do and you wont have time to look at what other people are doing.
5. Getting Something for Nothing
This way of thinking we defiantly need to leave behind in 2022. People that think they don’t have to invest first before they get the things they want have fooled themselves. It’s immature thinking to believe that you can receive a reward without investing anything. You can’t cheat the grind because it knows exactly how much you invested. You will not get more than you invested.
6. Being around negative people.
You can not be around people not moving towards things that you want to see in your life. People really are like elevators they will bring you up or bring you down. You want to make sure you are around people that are not just moving but are producing. Be sure you stay around people that dream bigger than you and are always taking action towards their future.
7.Trying to do it alone
If you got a big dream of going somewhere in life you’ll need a big team. Thats not just a cliche that’s the truth. You need peole that have different strengths than you and that can help you achieve things faster Because collboration brings out a team of champions Collaborating with others will bring a refreshing new look at your goals and dreams. It also allows the creative juices to bring about new ideas that could change everything for you. If you want change the world on a global level remember you’ll need a big team to go with that big dream.
Bonus: Breaking your Promises.
The reason your not more confident in your abilities is beccause you keep breakng your promises to yourself, alot of us place more value in a promise to others out of fear of embarrassment than keeping a promise to ourselves. We are more loyal to someone else who we may not even like all that much than we are our to ourselves whom we calim to love. Do yourself a favor, hold your own thoughts and opinions higher than anyone else and never break a promise that you made to yourself.
These things we must leave behind in 2022. To many people are not living the life they should be living already because they are bound by all or few of these mindsets. We have to create and relearn a lot of habits and thoughts that we hold about ourselves. The one sure way we can start is by taking time to look at these 8 things and decide if they are keeping you back another year. Many people should already be millionaires but the problem is, is that they never broke out of their comfort zone and never decided to go for it. Do yourself a favor make yourself this promise that in this next year you will finally do everything that you should of started already and that you will make 2023 your best year yet.
