Less doing might lead to more of everything that matters. If your brain and body and soul are begging for a break, check out this list of things to stop doing. It'll inspire you to clear away what's not working for you. So you can pay more attention to what *is* working, and feel so. much. better.

“Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.” — Brian Tracy 

This “stop doing” list is inspired by Danielle Laporte’s Free and Clear 6-week guided experience (it's free). Try it out for yourself. It'll bring clarity to the habits, distractions, behaviors, and beliefs that are running the show behind the scenes. Once you see it all, you can free yourself from it all.

FREE feels so good.

26 Things to Stop Doing (From My List, to Yours)

1. Saying “yes” before you’ve truly considered how a “yes” might end up feeling later on.
2. Checking your email every time you get a new notification.
3. Getting so many notifications.
4. Feeling guilty about doing what’s right for you.
5. Going through the whole day without stretching.
6. Transitioning from one activity to another without taking a break to reset.
7. Expecting so much without first knowing why you expect so much.
8. Clinging to things that naturally want to keep moving.
9. Spending so much time fretting about time.
10. Doubting your strengths.
11. Doubting your possibilities.
12. Thinking that others never struggle and you're the only one who has ever felt this way.
13. Pretending that nobody understands.
14. Countering compliments with reasons why you wouldn’t have given yourself that compliment.
15. Working as soon as you wake up.
16. Checking your phone as soon as you wake up.
