10 Ways You're Sabotaging Yourself & How to Stop // Self Improvement, self help - eyeliner wings & pretty things

As always, a new year brings in a ton of self-reflection and resolutions, which inspired me to write this post. I was thinking about a lot of things I hope to change in the new year (which is a load of crap because you can just change whenever a new year is not necessary) and I thought, why not make it into a post?

It’s become something of a joke at this point, but ultimately it’s fairly true. I love being busy, in fact I’ve written about the beauty of being busy, but it definitely does take a toll. All in all, it is possible to conquer busy days without losing your energy and your mind, it just takes a little bit of work, nourishment and motivation.

13 Things to Stop Doing This Year - How to Be a Better Person // eyeliner wings & pretty things

Ah yes, New Year’s Resolutions, just another way to disappoint yourself and pretend to actually be productive. Instead of resolving to do things, why not attempt to stop doing negative things instead? These things to stop doing this year are sure to brighten your life and make it better, plus, they sound a lot better than making a New Year’s Resolution.

I very clearly recall making new resolutions each year, keeping them diligently throughout January, but then forgetting or giving up by February. I don’t know what it is about the new year that causes everyone to thirst for a fresh start, but sometimes it might be easier to cut down on the bad rather than attempt to add on the good. These things to stop doing this year are sure to brighten your life and make it better, plus, they sound a lot better than making a New Year’s Resolution.
