Ditch these seven subtle habits if you’re sick of not fulfilling your potential

Thinking you’re not doing enough.

I know it seems like there’s never a moment when we are doing enough.

It could be at work, how much socialising we’re doing, or how little exercise we’re doing. There’s always that sense of needing more.

And with this comes the appeal of thinking about these things — as though the more we think about them, the better things get.

But thinking just gets in the way of doing the next small thing before you.

That’s all that ever counts.

Doing things that make you feel shame.

Here’s a tough one that will strike concern into the hearts of many.

Many of us have guilty habits, vices, immature behaviours, and make unhealthy choices. You can probably call these out quickly.

We do these because they feel good or easy in the moment. But when we zoom out, they chip away at our confidence and energy. No bueno.

Prioritise minimising these shame and regret-inducing acts. It’s not worth sabotaging yourself like this.

Trying to grind.
