15 things to say goodbye to in the new year




In the New Year we all expect a miracle, but sometimes we forget that we can to make a dream come true.

1. Get rid of thoughts that make you doubt your own strength. It all depends on us - now is the time to realize it.

2. Stop waiting for approval. On the one hand, this is a damn important thing for each of us, but on the other hand, it would be foolish to consult with others about and without. As long as we feel our potential and see what we have already achieved, we should not seek approval, we will do it ourselves, for sure.

3. Leave things in the past that we are not very proud of. What’s the point of worrying about something that can’t be changed? It’s great if we realize our mistake and try to correct it, but we must not forget: we never stop learning from life.

4. Don’t blame yourself if you don’t keep your promises. Besides, it takes time to realize really good things. Sometimes a little more than expected.

5. Say goodbye to all the negativity that was in the past year. This step may not lead to a happy ending, but it may well be a happy start to what we did not expect.



6. Say goodbye to people who don’t care about us. It is better to focus on those who truly deserve our love, care and willingness to respond to the same.

7. Stop living with memories. And it doesn’t matter if they are bad or good - we scroll through them again and again, going through the same situations, only in our own heads. Perhaps it’s time to get new experiences and stop living in the past.

8. Say goodbye to modern addictions. It’s hard to argue: modern gadgets and the Internet are taking up the lion’s share of our time. Why not try to spend more time in nature in the new year, for example, or dedicate time to family and friends?

9. Get rid of other people’s opinions about us - especially those that made us love ourselves less. Are we sure that these people really know and understand us well? By the way, some get real pleasure when they humiliate others - another reason to think about whether to continue to communicate with such individuals.

10. Leave in the past memories of actions when you crossed the line or just behaved a little silly. They remind us that we are not perfect and continue to learn - including from our own mistakes.

11. Say goodbye to moments when you missed someone, but not each other. After all, you shouldn’t be bored and worried about this person, but we may notice that someone else misses us much more than we could have imagined.

12. Forgive yourself for those plans that did not have time to materialize. Maybe it’s not a trip, or a missed wedding, or missed opportunities - not everything always goes according to plan, and you do not need to feel guilty about it. Let this be a reminder that no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to keep everything under control.

13. Stop seeing only your own shortcomings in reflection. Let’s look at ourselves from the other side and learn to love our own body and appearance - because there is not a drop of self-admiration in this.

14. Finally, say goodbye to the thought that nothing will change next year, and learn to notice and use the opportunities to realize yourself to the fullest.

15. Leave all the sadness in the outgoing year. Take only happiness, joy and smile more!
