15 things you should give up to be happy

"Happiness can only be found if you free yourself from all other distractions"  -- Saul Bellow

We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go:

1. Give up your need to always be right.

2. Give up your need for control. 

3. Give up on blame. 

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk.  

5. Give up your limiting beliefs 

6. Give up complaining. 

 7. Give up the luxury of criticism.  

8. Give up your need to impress others. 

 9. Give up your resistance to change. 

 10. Give up labels.

11. Give up on your fears. 

12. Give up your excuses. 

 13. Give up the past. 

14. Give up attachment. 

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations. 

You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it.
