propel us, but for some, fear can lead to paralysis. Fear of the future, fear of rejection, and even fear of failure can prevent us from taking risks and trying new things.
Let’s face it, we all deal with fear on some level and will never totally get rid of it, but we don’t have to. Successful people are those who act and go after their dreams despite being afraid. So, can you.
4. Negative Self-Talk
Sometimes our biggest critics are our own selves. We’re all too familiar with that inner voice which tells us we’re not good enough or that we don’t have what it takes to succeed.
However, what we say to ourselves is very important. It can determine if we achieve the goals we’ve set or if we remain stuck. So, in 2020, let’s silence the inner critic and be kinder to ourselves.

We rob ourselves of enjoying the present moment or having a better future when we fixate on situations that have already happened. We can’t go back in time and change what occurred, we can only move forward.
Being consumed with thoughts of who hurt you or what went wrong and rehearsing your pain will only prevent you from moving on. Leave the past in the past, your future can be better if you give it a chance.
Make this coming year your best one yet by letting go of the negative behaviors and people who held you back in 2019. No need to wait, you can start now!
