Within a short time, you will be a deflated mess. You need to get up each day and pump up your bubble. This creates a buffer between you and the outside world.

Make A List

This helps keep you on track. You can grab any number of printable Lists like the one above here.

via through darkness in daylight
Mostly we spend our lives on auto-pilot. As a result, our decisions are reactions more than considered choices.
When you take everything at face value and only half listen, you sign your life away without reading the terms. You are not only asking for trouble, but you should also expect it! If this sounds like you, chances are you are caught in a pattern of behavior that has you trapped.

2. Give up your need for control
You can’t do it all! Learn to delegate and trust others to help you. Your chances of burnout are high, even inevitable when you micro-manage.
You should also mind your own business and take on less of others. This will free you up enormously. It’s fine to assist others when asked, but don’t try to control them.

3. Give up on Blame
When you trip over the vacuum cleaner don’t blame the person for leaving it out, blame yourself for not looking.”When people are lame, they love to blame”
4. Give Up Your Self-Defeating Self-Talk
You are YOUnique! Stop wishing you were someone else, somewhere else. No one gets up by talking themselves down. Don’t allow others to do it to you either.
Write down all the things you’re good at and make yourself useful. Don’t wallow in pity, there’s always someone doing it tougher than you!
5. Give Up Your Limiting Beliefs
Whether you can or can’t, either way, you’re right! Opportunities are created not born. If the door is closed, open the window because where there’s a will there’s a way!

9. Give Up Your Resistance To Change
We live in a progressive world and whilst change is uncomfortable, it’s also inevitable. If you do not embrace change, you will be left on the shelf.
Try different things and take yourself outside your comfort zone regularly. You are capable of far more than you realize.
10. Give Up Labels
It’s easy to be fooled by labels. To label yourself or others is to typecast. It is the fastest way to get stuck in a mental and physical rut.
Keep an open mind and remember that you are infinite and can achieve anything you set your mind to. Labels restrict you and clip your wings.

11. Give Up Your Fears
We are all scared of something. Maybe you have been hurt, loved and lost, been betrayed. What has happened in the past will only define your future if you allow it.
Don’t worry about future health issues or how much is in your superannuation. Live in the now, it always works out, if you let it.
12. Give Up Your Excuses
You can be the person that wondered what happened or the person that made it happen. Leave the excuses to others.
Follow your leads in life until they fulfill or fizzle and live a life with no regrets.
via simple daily change
13. Give Up The Past
Are you hanging onto past relationships or situations? It’s debilitating and will guarantee to stunt your growth. The past is the past, when it calls, don’t answer. It has no place in your future.
14. Give Up Attachment
Buddhists say ‘never own anything you couldn’t give up in a heartbeat’. it’s a great mantra to live by.
Worldly possessions are only that. They are here today but they can fade away in a moment. Declutter regularly and learn to live with less.

15. Stop Living To Others Expectations
It’s your life and you need to remember that. Stop being a people pleaser. Only when you are true to you will you attract those that can bring joy and value to your life.
