We talk a lot about what you need to do to be financially successful. But sometimes succeeding isn't about what you do so much as what you don't.
I recently watched Last Chance U, a Netflix docuseries about collegiate football players who are struggling for success despite being incredibly talented athletes. Each of the young men got kicked out of Division I schools for different reasons. Now, they’re forced to prove themselves by playing ball at the junior college level. They hope to graduate and catch the attention of a recruiter so they can return to Division I football.
Last Chance U is a great series, and not just because the boys are full of personality. As a viewer, it’s easy to see what’s holding the players back, and you’re rooting for each one to turn it around while there’s still time.
The show inspired me to consider that making positive changes in your life and finances isn’t necessarily about doing more but instead may come down to what you should get rid of. Let's talk about eight things you must give up to have more success, no matter how you define it.
1. Give up unhealthy habits
Getting sick can not only drain your energy, but it can drain your finances. It’s challenging to enjoy success when you’re not physically and mentally healthy. Taking care of yourself by dropping unhealthy habits is where it all starts.
There’s no end to the benefits that come from eating high-quality, unprocessed foods, and giving up too much fast food, alcohol, and sugar in your diet. Living longer, maintaining a healthy weight, and feeling good are just a few of the upsides. We often forget that nutrition affects us on a cellular level, and a poor diet is the cause of many chronic illnesses.
Getting plenty of exercise and sleeping at least eight hours a night can work like a miracle. You’ll have more energy, feel happier, look better, and crank out better work. Adding extra movement into your routine—such as a quick 10-minute walk, taking a yoga class, or playing on a sports team—will clear your mind and help you stay focused on what’s most important to you.
