Stop procrastinating and take action instead.

Stop doubting yourself; know that you’re amazing.

Stop the negative self-talk. Keep the dialogue positive.

Stop telling yourself what you can’t do and affirm that you can.

Stop limiting yourself. Remove the ceiling.

Stop making excuses why you can’t do it, and just do it.

Stop letting others’ lack of belief in you hold you back.

Stop defining yourself by other people’s opinions of you. Yours is the only one that matters.

Stop thinking you’re undeserving. You have always been worthy.

Stop waiting for others’ approval of you. You’re already self-approved.

Stop waiting for ‘someday’ to come. Start right now.

Stop allowing fear to make your decisions for you. Your greatness is on the other side of that fear, waiting for you.

Stop hoping you can … Know that you can.

Stop beating yourself up for making mistakes. They are a part of your growth and wisdom, so embrace them and learn from them.

Stop worrying so much about your life and start living it.

Stop being your own worst critic and become your greatest and loudest cheerleader.

Stop dimming your own light. Allow yourself to shine brightly.

Stop playing like you’re ‘small’ in the world because, you are larger than LIFE. |THIS.
