Things I should stop putting myself through

28.2.14

Read one of the article and i think that's it's pretty interesting.
It's called 30 things you should stop putting yourself through(credits to this web).
I must say that i fit most of the categories.No. 2,4,6,7,8,11,15,16,17,22,24,25,28,29,30

So here's what the links said:

2.Stop running from your problems. 

Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

I do like to run away from problems,sometimes. Most of us do, right? It happens during work when problems/challenges popup,and i do not know what to do.*Mind blank* So i choose to ignore the problems and let it be.

4.Stop putting your own needs on the back burner.
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.


6.Stop trying to hold onto the past. 
You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

Sometimes, i still look back at the past,and start to wonder "if only..." or "why am i doing this?*felt kinda stupid* and so i need to stop this and start to look forward.

7.Stop being scared to make a mistake.
Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

YES!IM AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKE,it can be my weakness,really. During class or work, i'm always very quiet and do not like to ask question because i'm afraid if i ask something stupid,people will laugh at me. Or they may think " Wa lao why she ask this kind of question?" Or sometimes when i was being picked to answer a particular question, and just nice i do not know the ans. And i will have thoughts like "people are laughing at my mistake. nooo..so embarrassed!"..Pfft. I hate presentation too, where people are staring at you and when they question you about your presentation and then again do not know what to reply and i always tend to crap it out*don't even know if i ans to the ques*

8.Stop berating yourself for old mistakes.
We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.


11.Stop being idle.
Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.


15.Stop trying to compete against everyone else. 
Don’t worry about what others are doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.


16.Stop being jealous of others.
Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?”

My percentage of Jealousy is 150%.LOLL.I'm easily jealous as to "Why that person can be so smart,pretty,rich?" or "Why is she so lucky to have such great family" or "Why do i need to live such a hard life while people are enjoying their life?" Why do that lady have slim bodies and legs and great complexion?" Why?Why??But to think of what something i have that everyone wants...maybe i have great boyfriend? Otherwise nothing that makes pple jealous of me..hmm.

17.Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself.
Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.

22.Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments.
Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.


24.Stop following the path of least resistance.
Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.


25.Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t.
It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.


28.Stop worrying so much.
Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.


29.Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. 
Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right

30.Stop being ungrateful.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.
