Four Things Happy People Don’t Do
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
1) Compare Themselves to Others
It’s only you against you. You should always strive to be better than the person you were the day before. This is also important in the gym. Don’t compare yourself to anyone in there, you have no idea how long they’ve been training, how many hard days they’ve had to get there or what’s led them there. You should always work to break YOUR OWN records, not others’. Be your own cheerleader.
2) Feel Sorry for Themselves
Everyone has downfalls. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. It’s okay to be sad for a short period of time, but you mustn’t live there. “Why me?” won’t get you very far. You need to allot a few minutes to cry as hard as you need to, if you feel you need it, then promise yourself to never cry over that situation again.
3) Wait for Life to Improve on Its Own and Avoid Risks
How will you ever grow if you stay in the same place? If you want a big reward, you must take a big risk. Step outside of your comfort zone. Nothing will change if you don’t allow change. Yes, change can be scary, but often necessary.
4) Live by Others’ Expectations
You live YOUR life for YOU. People are entitled to their opinions, but don’t let ANYONE tell you how to live your life. You are the only one in charge of your life.
