7 common dependencies hindering your improvement: List

Comparing yourself to others

This leads to achieving goals that do not bring happiness, dissatisfaction with life, impostor syndrome, feelings of insecurity, and inferiority.

Advice. Add a simple gratitude practice to your routine. Remember all (even small) victories of the day and praise yourself.

The habit of giving up

The best way to guarantee failure is to give up. Sometimes, just patience is enough to achieve better results than others. Luck loves perseverance and discipline.

Advice. Promise a friend: if you give up, you'll give them $100 or something valuable to you. This motivates you to keep your promise.

Procrastination

The longer you put off your goals for later, the further you get from them.

Advice. The 5-minute rule. If you want to postpone a task, work on it for 5 minutes. The most difficult part of the task is to overcome your laziness at the beginning.

Phone addiction

Phone addiction is dangerous, it is very harmful to health, the eyes, and the nervous system because monitoring increases anxiety.

Waiting for the perfect conditions to start something

There is a person in the world who is more qualified than you and lives in a way you don't dare. Simply because they do.
