The Do’s and Dont’s to Living the Life YOU Want!

Enough With the Bullshit

How many years of your life have you spent saying “yes” and “no” to things just to appease other people? When are you going to start living your life the way YOU want to? We think that NOW is a perfect time. It’s time to give fewer fucks and give more YYAASSS to your life! Enough with the bullshit that doesn’t make you happy. It’s time to say goodbye to the people that don’t add substance and happiness to your life. Enough with the procrastinating and telling yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” It’s time to grab your life by the balls and own it! Enough with the bullshit!

The Do’s to Living the Life You Want

  • Buy that plane ticket and take that trip! Even if it means you are going alone!
  • Say “yes” to things you truly want and “no” to the things you don’t. Say “yes” to your happiness ALWAYS.
  • Stop procrastinating and go after the things you want, NOW! Tomorrow is never promised so why wait any longer? 
  • Change your hair, buy new clothes, pick up new hobbies, move to that new city..do all the things you want to with YOUR life. Embrace change even if those around you don’t.
  • Remind yourself of all your accomplishments and always be your biggest fan! No one can love you like you love you. So love the shit out of yourself!
  • Surround yourself with people who support, love, and believe in you. Be okay with cutting people off. If they don’t make you happy then should they really be taking up any of your time? Probably not!
  • Be selective. With possessions, how your money and time is spent, with people you hang around, with the things you give energy to. Be selfish as fuck with yourself! In the end, you are ultimately responsible for your happiness, decisions, and quality of life. 
  • Stop caring what other people think. People will always have an opinion but it’s up to you whether you give a shit or not. Don’t hold yourself back from doing or saying something because of what others will think. No is one is perfect and no one has the right to judge you.

The Dont’s to Living the Life You Want

  • Stop putting your dreams, goals, and ambitions off “until tomorrow” and go after them today! Every day that passes is another day that you are either standing still or sprinting to the finish line. Be a runner. Run your fucking ass off until you reach your destination!
  • Don’t put up with bullshit relationships. You know which ones we are talking about. The “friend” that never calls, the person who says they love you but continuously hurt you, the people who only come around when they need something. Flush all that bullshit out of your life! buh-byeeee!!
  • Don’t beat yourself up over your mistakes. Shit happens. Learn from it and keep it moving. Your mistakes don’t define you. How you react and pick yourself back up does!
  • Please don’t compare yourself to others. Your journey is yours! There is no blueprint on how to do life right. You are exactly where you need to be. Don’t be in competition with anyone but yourself!
  • We know this one is tough but, don’t think negative thoughts about yourself. It’s so easy to judge, doubt and put yourself down. Don’t do this. Love yourself, your flaws and imperfections. Don’t ever let yourself forget how incredibly amazing you are!
  • Don’t hold yourself back because of other people. It’s okay to do things alone. Travel, eat at the restaurants you want, pick up the hobby you have been thinking about. Go and do the things you want to do even if no one is around to do them with you. Shedding the scaredness allows for empowerment to blossom!
  • Don’t be content with things that don’t genuinely make you happy. Seek the opportunities that will enrich your life and get you out of the contentment zone. If you want it, you can get it, if you truly go after it! We are rooting for you!!
  • Don’t be a hater, shit-talker, or asshole for no reason. Don’t be jealous and don’t rain on other people’s parades. The energy you put out comes back around. Be positive, a nice human being, and spread happiness and kindness as much as you can.

  4. Can really relate to this post a lot! I’m 23 years old and used to be a people pleaser. I met the love of my life in Nepal last year and was due to return back to the UK for January exams for university. I couldn’t manage the long distance and I missed that flight home. My mum and family members were advising me not too. However for the first time in my life I took that risk and did it. I did not regret that decision whatsoever and still have not done since.

  5. This post is motivating as all get out!
    I’ve learned to be incredibly selective with my time and energy in order to have the happiest and most functional life that I can-by limiting exposure to some of my sensory triggers I am able to do more independently and that rocks!

    • aw, yes Ruth!! I love that you have taken the time to be selective! Life passes us by so quickly that a lot of people don’t take the time to evaluate the people in their life and what they are doing that might not be adding to their happiness!! Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate you! <3

  7. Sadly I’m not in a position to just “buy that plane ticket”, as much as I wish I was. I’d love to apply all of these to my life but due to various circumstances it’s just not doable. I’m definitely learning to say no and yes to things I genuinely do and don’t want to do though!

    • It was not meant to be taken as money is the answer to things- more of just as an example if you are thinking of a taking a trip- then do it ( if possible of course). But thanks for reading Jenny!

  9. I love this! Such a motivational post full of tips. Saying ‘no’ is something I’ve always struggled with so I’m going to work on that. I’m also forever putting things off that could make me happy! There are some things I’m already doing however, like forgetting about the people who don’t make an effort and to stop caring what other people think.
