1. give up sticking to the person you used to be
– step outside of the person you have been
– remember who you want to be and what you are capable of
– if you have to come out of your comfort zone, happily do so for the person you want to be
2. give up criticizing yourself for everything you are not
– love yourself in thoughts, words and actions
– be kind to yourself. it is more important than being kind to others
– work through your fears, insecurities and anger. help yourself to grow beyond them
3. give up regretting and holding on to your past
– when you hold on to your past, you miss the beauty of present and what you have today
– thank the things that didn't workout, because they just made room for the things that will
4. give up all the constant negativity that surrounds you
– it is very important to be positive even in the negative times
– looking for the worst destroys our capacity to do our best
– act, even in some small way, don't sit and wait for perfect future
5. give up thinking that other's life is much easier
– everyone around you is facing their own struggles and it is as hard as it is for you
– always remember that "grass looks greener on the other side"
6. give up wanting to be where other's are in life
– stop comparing where you are at with where everybody else is. it doesn't take you forward, it pulls you down
– you are unique, so are your goals, dreams and journey
– trust that you are in the right place at the right time
7. give up letting the judgement of other's control you
– other's don't know your story, and what you have been through
– what you think about yourself matters. think about yourself
– do what is right for you, not what other's think you should be doing
8. give up believing you aren't strong enough to move forward
– it's always possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems
– remember, everything is going to be ok
– have courage to take one more step. you will be glad you did it
9. don't overthink it
– just send the message
– just call the person you have been thinking about
– just post it
– just be honest
