To be the best version of yourself isn’t about being flawless. It’s about choosing things that make you better day by day. Sometimes, your habits or beliefs can hold you back from reaching your full potential. When you stop these habits, you will have the ability to pay attention to what’s most important and begin living the life you deserve. Here are 10 things you need to stop doing to be the best version of yourself.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Comparing yourself to others is one of the easiest and fastest ways to become miserable. We all walk our own road and what works for one person might not work for you. If you fixate on someone else’s achievement, you aren’t in a position to notice your own. Instead, celebrate your victories, even if they are little ones. Try to be better than yesterday, not better than the next person.
Stop Doubting Your Abilities
Doubt will keep you from becoming the best version of yourself. It’s easy to overthink everything and feel like you’re not good enough. But this stops you from doing anything. Keep in mind that no one is perfect and no one is always right. Being confident comes in small steps and learning as you go. Be confident in yourself – and you’ll become a better version of yourself.
Stop Holding onto Past Mistakes
Dwelling on the past won’t change it. We all make mistakes, but what matters is we learn from those mistakes and do better next time. Guilt and regret only weigh you down. Let the past go. This doesn’t mean you have to forget everything that happened – just learn from it so that you can do better next time.
Stop Wasting Time on Things That Don’t Matter
Time is the most precious commodity you possess, and if you spend it on useless things then you can never take advantage of it. Hours on social media and days of putting things off don’t help you grow. You should spend your time instead doing what matters to you, such as taking classes, exercising, or spending time with loved ones.
Stop Surrounding Yourself with Negative People
Who you spend time with determines a great deal about how you think. If you’re constantly around negative or noxious people, their energy gets you down. Rather, surround yourself with people who will inspire and lift you up. Healthy relationships help you grow and keep motivated and happy.
Stop Avoiding Challenges
Staying out of trouble sounds safe, but it hinders your development. Problems teach you new things, make you stronger, and tell yourself that you can handle the hard things. Do not run away from tough things, confront them. You’ll be amazed by what you can do if you push yourself.
Stop Making Excuses
Emotions prevent you from putting yourself in charge of your own life. Blaming it on the situation, other people or time only keep you stuck. So if you want to get better, start taking responsibility for what you decide and do. By no longer making excuses, you are in charge of your life – you can begin working on solutions.
Stop Ignoring Your Health
Your physical and mental health are the foundation of everything you do. If you don’t pay attention to them, it will be difficult for you to meet your goals. Eating wrong, not exercising or taking rest will drain you of energy and focus. Health doesn’t have to be complicated – eating well balanced meals, getting enough sleep and moving every day make a big difference.
Stop Saying Yes to Everything
If you say yes to everything, you’ll feel helpful, but then you’re overwhelmed. By taking up things that you don’t want, you waste time and effort that could be invested in your goals. If you can say no to certain things when you have to, then you’ll learn to set limits and stick to what matters in your life.
Stop Being So Hard on Yourself
No one is ideal and you cannot be perfect if you try. If you’re over-critical of yourself, you won’t be as motivated or happy. If you think of all that you did wrong, think about all that you have accomplished. Treat yourself well, celebrate where you are going, and keep getting better.
