  1. Debbie I think I’ve been guilty of every one of these things at various times in my life. Midlife is teaching me how they impact so negatively on my mindset and I’m working my way through to discard them all – work in progress but definitely getting there – and I’m a lot happier for letting them go.

  2. I love these and agree! I am a happy person and I’ve watched as friends constantly get down on themselves for their perceived failures – all due to their comparing themselves to other’s success. It’s a waste of time! #AnythingGoes

  3. I love this post. These are pretty much the rules I abide by. I’m pretty happy most of the time too so I guess it works. I can’t stand people who moan about life but never do anything to change it.

    This is such a great post!! My mom and I were just discussing the positive vs negative traits that people exhibit…..and just call me Pollyanna!!

    Couple of these creep in from time to time and it feels good for a moment but never works in the long run.Thanks for the tips on turning it around 🙂

  6. I love posts about positivity and channelling good vibes. I believe in gratitude and making things happen by thinking about them and visualising them. I believe it’s always better to focus your energy on being happy than dragging yourself down – and others – by doing the things you’ve mentioned above. Lovely post x #AnythingGoes

  7. I am guilty of most of these behaviours today. So I will return again for another read tomorrow and learn from the lessons here because I really need to #AnythingGoes

  8. You’re probably right. I do some of these on occasions, I think we all do. But I’m usually quick to check myself and realise what I’m doing. #BloggerClubUK

  9. These are exactly the things that my youngest brother does all the time (in addition to a few other things he does that makes him a toxic person) and he is most definitely miserable. These are all things that happy people don’t do because they are symptoms and causes of more misery. I agree 100% with you Debbie! #anythinggoes

  10. There are a lot of people where I work who do most of these things all the time and it gets very frustrating that they can’t see they’re actually making things worse. Perhaps I should print off your list and stick it on the wall in the office!! #BloggerClubUK
