  1. Stop needing to always be right. Sometimes it just doesn’t matter who is right and who is wrong, especially not at the expense of losing friendships, relationships and family ties.
  2. Give up your need for control. We often want to manage everything, particularly to our specifications. Let it be! Let people be them, you be you, and things will be less complicated. If you can’t deal, stay to yourself.
  3. Stop blaming….Don’t blame everyone else for the things that are happening to you. Sure, some things are unavoidable, or take us by surprise, but stand up and take responsibility for yourself and your demons.
  4. Give up on self-degradation. If you don’t think positively of yourself, no one else will. Work through your insecurities, and your need to “fit-in.” Be proud of the skin you are in; mind, body and soul.
  5. Give up on the limitations of your beliefs. EVERYTHING is possible. No one and nothing can hold you back, except you. Believing in yourself, is almost as powerful as loving yourself.
  6. Stop complaining! Complaining just fuels negative energy. Don’t complain, find the source and fix it. If you can’t fix the issue, release it and move on. Complaining never solved anything!
  7. Stop criticizing. Everyone is not like you. Everyone does not think like you. We are all individuals. Do not criticize because someone else is different or has different ways of doing things. That is what makes us individuals. 
  8. Give up your need to impress other people. At the end of the day, it’s not that serious. People will be more impressed with you effortlessly being you that you will shine in your individuality. 
  9. Stop resisting change. Change is good. Change is necessary. Change means that you are growing and evolving.
  10. Don’t label. Stop labeling people just because they are different, or you don’t understand them. That falls into judgement, and since none of us are perfect, you have no right!
  11. Release your fears. Fear is the one thing that holds us back from accomplishing and receiving the most important and valuable things in life. You don’t know unless you try. Don’t let fear keep you from love, success, happiness and growth.
  12. Stop making excuses! Excuses don’t do anything but hold life up. They make you seem irresponsible, and certainly don’t fix anything. Accept whatever it is, and act accordingly.
  13. Stop holding onto the past. You can’t do anything about it. It’s done, it’s over. Don’t hold onto people, death, failed love, or failures of any kind. Take a moment to grasp what you learned from the experience, and let it go. 
  14. Give up attachment. Anything that you cling to too hard, when it is gone, it can destroy you. Take things in stride, in increments. Enjoy the moment, in the moment. Especially don’t hold on too tight to people, you can suffocate them and your relationship with them.
  15. Stop living life according to what you think others expect from you. YOU and only you are responsible for your happiness. You will never be happy trying to live up to how someone else wants you to. If you do you, the people who are truly meant to be in your life will support you and will remain.
