5 Habits High-Achievers Should Break

1. Refusing to say “no.”

You cannot always expect yourself to save the day by shouldering more responsibilities.

2. Not asking for help.

Everyone relies on others to a degree. Just make reasonable asks, express gratitude, and reciprocate favors.

3. Too much comparison with other people.

Make personal comparisons that focus on your own progress-where you’ve been and where you’re heading.

4. Not being present in the moment.

Try to slow down and appreciate your journey. Mindfulness meditation and other tools can help.

5. Relying on achievement to feel worthy.

The satisfaction from success is often short-lived. We have value as human beings regardless of what we achieve.
