THINGS TO SAY
GOODBYE TO
G'day folks,
Here are a few ideas courtesy of Thought Catalog. Maybe they should have been read on January 1st.
1.
Say
goodbye to the voices in your head that tell you that you are incapable of
doing something or being someone. They lie a lot, and you should know that by
now.
2.
Say
goodbye to the need for validation. We all need validation from time to time,
but you also don’t have to constantly pursue it. As long as you see your utmost
potential or how far you’ve come, you don’t need to seek after anyone to affirm
that for you.
3.
Say
goodbye to all the moments you were not so proud of; forget them and remember
that you are a human being who is still learning how to live.
4.
Say
goodbye to the promises you didn’t keep, know that timing is everything, and
good things take time.
5.
Say
goodbye to the self-doubt and the negativity last year brought. It might
not be the happy ending you wanted, but it could possibly be the happy
beginning you didn’t see coming.
6.
Say
goodbye to the times you cried and the times you were in so much pain, and give
yourself a pat on the back for getting through yet another obstacle. Sooner or
later, you will get to the finish line.
7.
Say
goodbye to the people who don’t want anything to do with you; they are not
meant to be in your life for one reason or another. Focus on the ones who do
and the ones who care.
8.
Say
goodbye to the memory you keep replaying in your head, whether good or bad, the
one that is keeping you up at night wondering where it went and whether or not
it will happen again. You rewinded them and paused them way too many times; now
it is time to find something else to watch.
9.
Say
goodbye to the addiction you had for your phone, or your laptop, or social
media, or anything you were voraciously obsessed with. Spend more time with
nature, and teach yourself that too much of anything will eventually suffocate
you.
10.
Say
goodbye to the expectations you had for yourself that by now you should have
done this or done that. Life can be messy, and the last thing you need is
getting attached to its chaos.
11.
Say
goodbye to all the words people told you about yourself, the ones that made you
love yourself a little less. Think of how little these people know about you
and your story or why you are the way you are. Think of how some people like to
belittle others to feel good about themselves, and while you are it, say
goodbye to these people.
12.
Say goodbye
to the times you were immature, or out of line, or had no common sense.
Remember that these are the moments that remind you that you are not perfect
and that you are a work in progress. Take it as a humbling experience and move
on.
13.
Say
goodbye to the times you missed someone who didn’t miss you back. Eventually
you will not miss them anymore, and you will learn that other people miss you
more than you know.
14.
Say
goodbye to the trip you didn’t take, or the city you never went to, or the
wedding you missed, or the opportunities that passed you by. Not everything
will go as planned and you don’t have to carry the guilt with you everywhere
you go. Let that be a reminder that no matter how hard we try, we will not
always be in control.
15.
Say
goodbye to the all the flaws you keep pointing out in the mirror and the times
you really didn’t like who you were looking at. Buy a new mirror if you have
to, but more importantly, start liking who you see and change the way you look
at yourself.
16.
Finally,
say goodbye to the thought that next year will be the same and that nothing
will ever change, and start saying hello to all the wonderful possibilities,
dreams, and opportunities that are waiting to manifest themselves to you.
