ENTITY discusses letting go and taking it easy.

We’ve all lied awake at night cringing at past embarrassments and pondering how to avoid future mishaps. The pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect is the worst criticism we face. Let go and be happy. Don’t allow your self-criticisms to kill your vibe.

We don’t have to take ourselves so seriously. Life could be so much easier without our self-criticism breathing down our necks.

Here are some ways you can avoid putting pressure on yourself:

Let Go of the Past.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to let go of things from the past. It’s already happened, and we can’t change it no matter how much we want to.

We may harbor the memories of these mishaps to protect ourselves from future pain; however, that is also hindering us from loving ourselves and reaching self-acceptance, according to Mindbodygreen.

Instead of harboring the pain of those memories, use them as a learning platform. Use that experience to avoid making the same mistake, but don’t shame yourself forever.

We all make mistakes. It’s just a normal part of life.

Make Mistakes. It’s Okay.

ENTITY discusses letting go.

Although we all hate to make mistakes, it is often unavoidable. I mean, it’s how we learn, right?

Stop holding yourself to an unrealistic standard. We all make mistakes, and it is those mistakes that help us grow into the people we are today.

Don’t be afraid of embarrassing yourself or ruining something. If we didn’t make mistakes, we wouldn’t learn what works for us and what doesn’t. Oddly, mistakes are a good thing in the end.

So as Ms. Frizzle said: “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.” Later on down the line when you get past the cringing, you’ll be happy for that experience and the lesson you learned.

Stop Caring About What Others Think.

It’s often hard to believe, but what others think about you is not important. If you spend your time trying to please everyone, you will make yourself miserable in the end.

Don’t let the opinions and criticisms of others dictate how you live your life.

We are the happiest when we live in a way that is authentic to our true selves and care more about how we feel, not others, according to Huffington Post.

Once we learn how to block out the feedback of others, we are able to set the standard for our own happiness. At the end of the day, all that matters is your happiness and being confident in your decisions.

Block out what others say, and set your own standard.

Don’t Stress over Outcomes.

Having certain expectations can lead to disappointment in the long run or leave us unprepared for the actual outcome. The last thing you want is to look unprepared. Make sure you’re aware that there can be numerous outcomes for any situation.

Life doesn’t always happen the way it plays out in our heads.

Expectations can lead us to be fearful of certain outcomes, according to Psychology Today.

Keep your mind open. Don’t allow yourself to get lost in tunnel vision and fall victim to disappointment. It is that fear of disappointment that makes us want to create stricter expectations as a way to protect ourselves.

Remember, anything can happen. As long as you can accept that and adapt to fit the situation, you’re golden.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others.

There’s only one you. Be happy about that!

Stop comparing yourself to others, especially in terms of unrealistic ideals. No one is the same as you, or the person you’re comparing yourself to.

Accept yourself for who you are and flaunt it. Don’t allow yourself to feel inferior because you don’t look like someone else. Constantly comparing yourself to others forces you to only focus on the negative, according to Mindbodygreen.

Be grateful for your unique features. You’re the only one who has them. Be grateful for the hand you’ve been dealt.

Focus on what is great about you. Once you learn to love yourself, you will be able to focus on the positive and let go of the negative thoughts that try to creep into your mind.

Letting go is probably one of the hardest things that any of us can do. However, if you let go of all of the things that hinder your mood, you’ll learn how to focus on the positive in life. Implementing these steps can help in taking the pressure off and leave you free to be happy.
