Unlearn These Habits for a Better You

Unlearning is the new learning in the journey of having a blissful quality of life. People say, learning a new good habit can be cumbersome but have you ever tried to unlearn a bad habit?

It is much harder to unlearn a bad habit. We, as humans, catch up on bad habits very quickly and let them settle just as our second nature.

There are some habits that one should totally unlearn to grow and stimulate better life decisions.

Fear Of Change

You don't have to be happy about everything that happens in your life. However, you should not let your fear stop you either.

We are all aware that things could be much worse at any time in our lives. Also the fact that you are reading this article right now proves that you are some of the world's wealthier and more privileged individuals.

Life is changing way quicker than ever before, and we may be confronted with new problems every day.

As a result, the most capable of adapting individuals will always win in the long run.  It's much harder than it sounds, but it's probably one of the most underappreciated words of advice.  Even if changes are uncertain, they almost always have a positive aspect.  Be brave, focus on the positive aspects, and try new things.

Procrastination

No matter what your age is, you will always end up procrastinating! We procrastinate because we subconsciously believe that the task ahead of us is too difficult.

So, next time you're in this scenario, make a habit of breaking down your activity into smaller, more manageable chunks.

Delaying something inevitable in your schedule is never beneficial, it only ends up making the timetable more congested and leaves you with greater stress than what you already had. Therefore, always aim to complete your tasks on time and stop procrastinating to let go of the habit of procrastination.

Comparison

Comparing yourself to others is not only disrespectful of your own capabilities but also a total disregard of others’ status.

Being jealous of others’ achievements without knowing what they have been through in their actual life is never justified nor advised.  Never compare yourself with others. Always compete with yourself and beat YOUR previous best.

Being Afraid to Make Mistakes

Isn’t making mistakes just an aspect of our human nature? Everyone makes mistakes but there are very few people who accept them and rectify them.

Following the notion of hard work will always lead to success is one of the biggest mistakes that people make.  Try to embrace your mistakes and it’s okay to make them. Never go too hard on yourself for making mistakes and instead, try to learn from them.

Obsessions with Other Peoples’ Opinions 

How often do you feel discouraged because of the opinions of others? The chances are that your answer is too often.

The scary part is that you will never be able to appease everyone. The good news is that it makes no difference.  You only have one life, so don't bother wasting it by trying to live up to the expectations of others.

You can't be everyone's favorite, but you can be your own hero and save yourself.  Stop suppressing your inner voice to please others and start shining your light on the world.  Start unlearning bad habits and learning the ways to improve the quality of life.

No matter what your definition of quality of life is, just make sure to enjoy every moment and reap the utmost benefits from every day that you are living.
