Becoming an adult makes so many things really crystal clear. You realize things that you want and don’t want in life and learn how to own that. We also learn how to relieve ourselves of toxic behaviors that are bringing nothing but unhealthy routines into our daily lives. At this time of year, I try to take moments to reflect on so many different pieces of my life. I weigh the good and the bad and really try to figure out what is working and what’s not working for me.

5 Toxic Behaviors I’m Finally Putting And End to In 2020

Along with setting goals, I’m doing my best to relieve these 5 toxic behaviors and putting an end to them this year.

1. Comparing Myself to Others.

This is something that I probably should have left behind in my twenties, but that did not happen unfortunately. I think it’s extra hard as women, and gets even harder whenever you become a mom. And then add blogger to that list of titles and the compare game is on every single day. It’s awful and I’m done with it. If this past year has taught me anything, it’s to be sure of myself, my choices, and that I’m always doing what works best for me and my family.

2. Negative Self Talk.

I guess this goes hand in hand with number one. I’m so sick of having those moments of feeling so great about myself and then looking in the mirror feeling like “What the heck was I thinking?” Negative self talk does absolutely nothing good for any of us. It makes us feel horrible in the moment, yet still has the ability to trickle down and impact how we navigate the rest of our day. This is ending now.

3. Seeking Validation From Others.

The only person that I need validation from myself is me. And that goes for us all. This can be a tough one to get past, especially since the opinions of the people we love and care about most weigh so heavy on us, but the ones who actually do will support you no matter what.

4. Insecurity.

I’ve spent way too much of my life feeling insecure and not confident in myself. At this point in life, I’ve accomplished quite a few amazing things and have no reason to feel insecure about myself. From now on, nothing but believing in myself will be happening in my mind.

5. Holding Grudges.

This is a big one. I don’t think we realize how much holding grudges really weights heavy on us. I came to the realization that I just don’t have the space in my life anymore for any of this nonsense. And honestly, I don’t hold meany grudges at all. There’s just a couple of them, and it does take up space. Space that could be used for other, much more positive things. So here I am, releasing any of that nonsense and making space for only amazing things.
