THINGS I STOPPED DOING TO GAIN PEACE IN MY LIFE:

• Arguing with people.
• Wasting energy on one-sided relationships.
• Overcommitting my time when I didn’t have the energy.
• Accepting & excusing toxic behavior because that was more comfortable than change.
• Allowing dysfunctional family members to steal my joy.
• Trying to fix people as an “act of “love.”
• Discarding my boundaries to fit (uncomfortably) in other people’s lives.
• Holding on to limiting beliefs about my life, self-worth, and potential.
• Pretending to be happy when I was hurting.
• Silencing my voice & not naming my needs.
• Overthinking about my past & things I cannot change.
• Holding onto people I’ve outgrown because of the “time invested.”
• Going along to get along.
• Overlooking my blessings & comparing my life to someone else’s.
• Abandoning myself, my truth, and my integrity to “fit in.
• Waiting for external validation to boost my confidence.
• Trying to change people who were committed to staying the same.

To gain peace, stop arguing, overcommitting, and holding onto toxic relationships. Set boundaries, avoid overthinking, and stop seeking external validation. Focus on self-love, growth, and gratitude instead of trying to fix others or comparing yourself to anyone.
