8 Things You Should Let Go of to Live a Healthy Happy Life
We’re well on our way into the New Year and I’m sure many of you are pressing forward towards your resolutions for a healthier, happier life. With that being said, I’m here to add some additional things you should definitely let go of in 2019… and forever! I guarantee that when you release these 8 things, you’ll instantly begin to feel more happy and fulfilled!
Fear of Failure
Fear of failure is the biggest emotion that keeps people from pursuing the things they want to do. It’s time to accept your fears but have the courage to move forward anyway. When you begin to take those steps despite your fear(s), you’ll see that what you avoided all this time was nothing to be afraid of at all!
Accounts that Bring You Down
We all love living vicariously through others on social media who appear to be “living their best life.” However, it’s very easy to follow those accounts and begin second guessing yourself. The moment you start to question where you are currently in life, or feelings of jealously, it’s time to let go of following that account! Only follow people that make you feel wonderful, inspired and motivated. Good vibes only!
Planning Non-Stop
Oftentimes when things scare us, we tend to over-plan as a way to avoid failure and sometimes avoid taking action entirely. Life is about trying new things, taking risks and learning lessons. Therefore, you should always follow the saying “done is better than perfect” for outcomes you simply can’t control. Yes, you should have an action plan and spend some time creating it. However, staying in “planning mode” for months – years, means you’re over planning and avoiding taking action.
Holding Onto Grudges
Holding onto grudges is something that we’ve all done at one point in our lives. The thing most people fail to realize is, it requires way more energy to hold onto that grudge than forgiving and letting it go. I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s imperative that you take control of your life. Let it go and forgive for you, not anyone else!

Negative Mindset
Having a negative mindset will always hinder your personal development and growth as a whole! If you find yourself thinking for the worse (before anything has even occurred), then chances are you have a negative mindset. Changing from a negative mindset to a positive one requires consistent work. To begin, start replacing every negative thought with a positive one. Practice this everyday and soon you’ll begin to automatically think positively. Give it some time, stay consistent and watch your thoughts begin to transform.

Living in the Past
Living in the past will do nothing but hinder you at your current state. The past happened, it’s time to let go and move on. Living in the past keeps you from enjoying all the things that you’re experiencing now. Learn from old situations and apply them to becoming better/more experienced than you were!
Negative People
Letting go of negative people within your life is a huge MUST! That saying, “misery loves company” is absolutely true! See the signs and quickly distance yourself from those type of people. You need a circle of family/friends/associates that are happy, encouraging and supportive!
Situations You Can’t Control
I know it’s tough but it’s time to stop worrying and stressing about situations you simply can’t control. Not living your life to the fullest because of a “what if” thought is absolutely insane. As I mentioned prior, life is about taking risks and trying new things! We can’t control everything that happens to us but we can control how we respond and react to it.
I hope this post has opened your eyes to the small (but impacting) things that you should let go of! Some of these changes are easier said than done but I guarantee once you take action on them, your life will begin to drastically change! What are some things that you let go of in 2019?
