Stop Finding Reasons to Quit

August 13, 2024 Dr Livingood

It’s easy to get distracted and discouraged by what you see on social media, the news, and even in life with friends and family.

Other people love to add their two cents on what they think you should be doing with your life.

While the input of others can sometimes help, it’s important to not let these outside factors slow you down.

To help keep you motivated and moving forward, here are some things you can do on your journey to experiencing real health.

Don’t Let Others Control Your Decisions

Maybe your family, friends, or coworkers have strong opinions about what you need to be doing in life.

At the end of the day, however, you need to take control of your own life.

This life is the only one you get, so why not make it a great one?

If people are constantly trying to sway or control how you live your life, it may be time to rethink your relationships with those people.

As you grow and change, your needs also change. It’s okay to let go of people that you have outgrown.

Use Problems To Create Solutions

Problems aren’t the real problem that’s holding you back.

By letting the idea of problems slow you down, you miss out on what you could be doing in life.

Everyone needs problems because they’re what stimulate growth and change in your life. By solving problems, you find solutions.

Without problems, life would stagnate, become boring, and nothing would change.

So, embrace your problems and view them as opportunities for new things to come into your life and make it better.

Don’t Get Wrapped Up In Political Drama

It’s easy to doomscroll through your news feed or be glued to the TV, waiting for the next piece of political drama or bad news to come your way.

Politics don’t make a difference in your day-to-day life, and shouldn’t hold you back from progressing.

If you find yourself addicted to this kind of content, then put a limit on how much time you allow yourself to spend reading or watching this content.

Maybe check it once a day and focus on what you can accomplish in your life for the rest of the day.

Doing this will help limit the amount of stress and anxiety this content triggers in your body, and you’ll be able to lower your cortisol levels and sleep better as well.

Get Yourself Moving Today!

When it comes to real health, it’s important to focus on what you need to do and tune out the distractions and noise that try to stop you from making progress.

Instead of letting yourself be held back by things that don’t actually affect your life, pick one thing every day to focus on that will bring positive change into your life.

By implementing a plan of action, it’ll be easier for you to keep moving forward toward your goals, making you unstoppable in your pursuit of what you want to achieve.
