It’s about time to take charge of your life and leave what doesn’t serve you.

Allow yourself to let go of connections that are no longer helping you. Your relationships are important. In fact, solid relationships are vital for happiness because they may boost your immune system, extend your life, and make you more adaptable to stress. Unhealthy relationships, on the other hand, can have a negative impact on your mental health and possibly raise your risk of heart disease. This is why it’s critical to surround yourself with people who are good for you and to let go of connections that no longer serve you (or may even hurt you).

Consider how you normally feel before, during, and after spending time with someone when determining whether or not a relationship is healthy. Do you feel exhausted? Fufilled? Recharged? Sad? Feeling better about yourself? While no relationship will ever be flawless, you should spend the majority of your time in a relationship feeling supported, loved, and cared for, rather than ignored, resentful, or fatigued. While some of these sentiments can be alleviated by setting stricter boundaries or increasing communication, some relationships must be terminated.

Allow yourself to be free of shame. This year, shame has no place. Shame may be crippling and incredibly destructive to your self-esteem. Shame has been related to increased rates of anxiety, sadness, and low self-esteem. It is vital to distinguish between shame and guilt. Guilt states, “I did something bad.” Shame declares, “I am bad.” When you are ashamed, you are going inside and attributing those unpleasant sentiments to yourself and your personality.

If you experience shame on a frequent basis, it is critical to conquer these feelings in order to enhance your self-perception, since when you feel better about yourself, your life will feel better as well. There are several approaches of dealing with shame. One good place to start is Dr. Brené Brown’s shame resiliency theory. Dr. Brown defines shame resilience as recognising and comprehending shame’s triggers, practising critical awareness, and sharing your shame narrative in safe locations. In her book I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn’t), Dr. Brown discusses her work and how you might apply it to your own life.

Declutter – A growing body of research indicates that too much clutter can have a detrimental influence on mental well-being, including increasing stress and contributing to poorer levels of life satisfaction. If you’re always tripping over crap around your house, it might be time to sort through your possessions and get rid of the excess. If you’re unsure where to begin, simply commit to decluttering one thing every day.

Journal on a daily basis – Journaling is an excellent practise for a variety of reasons. Journaling, for example, can assist enhance mental health by reducing anxiety and despair. Journaling can also help you become more self-aware, control your emotions, and foster vulnerability.

Discover new ways to be distressed – Stress is detrimental to both your mental and physical wellbeing. Stress may also have a bad influence on your relationships, both with others and with yourself. This is why it is critical to de-stress whenever possible. Journaling, exercising, getting enough sleep, and talking about your thoughts are all excellent strategies to relieve stress.

Be deliberate about the stuff you absorb – Whether you think you’re browsing idly or not, you’re still taking in the visuals and words in your social media feeds. And if you’re regularly exposed to unpleasant stuff that makes you feel horrible about yourself or the world around you, you should think twice about following those accounts. Make sure your social media feeds reflect the people and ideas that are important to you and improve your life (rather than the other way around).

Concentrate on how your life feels rather than how it seems. Finally, create a life that is centred on what feels greatest to you (rather than what you believe would appear more remarkable to others). Work in a career that you enjoy and finds fulfilling. Wear your favourite clothing. Date someone who makes you feel valued and cared for. Exercise in the method that is most beneficial to your body and lifestyle. Because you will feel more centred, real, and aligned when you start living for yourself. And someone who moves through life like that has a light that no one can dim. The glow (from within) is genuine.
