POLOKWANE – After a year full of negativity around the world, we all want something positive, good and exiting for the next year. In order to do that, we need to leave things behind in 2021.
Review spoke to life coach Marie-Lee du Plooy who shared why it is important to leave a few things behind. “According to Robin Sharma, author of The Monk who sold his Ferrari, we all need to do a ‘clean sweep’. This is a superb way to streamline, simplify and refocus your life.”
She said we can start to leave behind all the regrets of wrong decisions and memories that make us sad. “Some people are toxic, manipulative and negative. They do not support and appreciate you. Make that clean sweep and start the new year by removing them from your life.”
Bad habits like living an unhealthy lifestyle and procrastination are the two common things that carry over to the next year, because people are in a comfort zone and it is much easier to go with the flow. Make that choice to try and live healthier. Create a to-do list with a date next to each item and start with each item and complete it.
“Leave behind all the anxiety and fears of the past year. It causes a lot of uncertainty and chaos that prevent you from living a full life. Life is about choices. Make that choice to leave behind those things that need to be eliminated from your life. You will definitely feel lighter, happier and you will experience a lot more peace.”
