I'm trashing making assumptions. I often create stories in my head about what others think about me, without having conversations with them. This just gives me anxiety, and doesn't help anyone.

This sounds sooooooooo familiar! Touche.

I'm trashing things that no longer serve me and violate my boundaries.
Protecting my energy and mental bandwidth has become extremely important to me. I recognize some "work" battles aren't worth my energy (even if I don't agree with it), I'm letting more things go because it's just not worth it. Things always play out the way they're meant to, so I'm better off letting go.

I'm leaving behind the belief that I must post on multiple SM sites every day, or risk watching my business crumble to the ground. I'm choosing, instead, to focus on the activities that generate the most ROI for my business.

Trashing self-doubt.

This mindset is perfection! Way to go!!

I am learning to be kind to myself, leave the perfectionist tendencies behind, learn to appreciate each moment of life and not worry too much about what needs to get done rather what has been done.

I'm trashing the negative voices that are keeping me from the things I want to do. This means both cutting off the negative people who are keeping me from my career goals as well as confronting the negative voices that pop up in my head that hurt my confidence.

I'm trashing talking down upon myself. I do it all the time. I can be critical of myself without taking myself down.

I’m trashing reactivity and hyper competition. It’s interfering with my vision of health and longevity….. it interferes with teams and authenticity.

Great idea. My first reaction was to wonder whether it’s possible to trash imposter syndrome. That’s shows what a grip it has on me! I’m going to trash it too.

I'm saying goodbye to this level and saying hello to the next. It's mindset switching and creating more energy for what's coming!

I started cognitive behavioral therapy to leave my childhood trauma in the past.

I'm trashing contract work and temping! Forever!!
