1. Stop compromising your health. You only get one body for the rest of your life. Take care of it now because it doesn't get easier later.
2. Stop worrying. Worrying is praying to the devil. No amount of worrying makes any situation better. Avoid at all costs.

3. Stop hanging around shitty people. Hanging around people who always get you down is a good way to always feel like shit. Avoid.
4. Stop watching the news. If you don't watch the news, you are uninformed, but if you watch the news, you are misinformed.

5. Stop neglecting your oral care. Want to keep your teeth when you get older? Take care of them.
6. Stop taking your hearing for granted. Listening to loud music & going to concerts without earplugs is going to bite you in the ass later on.

7. Stop chasing unnecessary status items. Buying things to look good to others is a good way to waste money losing yourself.
8. Stop trying to be liked by everyone. If you are going to be yourself, guess what? It means some people won't like you. Accept it and move on.

9. Stop wishing for other people to change. Either accept them for who they are or leave.
10. Stop self-destructive behaviors. There are vices and ways of being that are sabotaging your ability to reach your full potential. Have the courage to let them go so you can achieve your next level.

11. Stop investing in people who don't invest in you. Full stop. You'll never get hydrated pouring water into leaky cups.
12. Stop eating like a child. Be disciplined about what you eat & how much. This is not a free-for-all.

13. Stop trying to have opinions on shit you have no clue about. This is an underrated tool for peace of mind & an antidote to ego & ignorance.
14. Stop ignoring your mental health. Don't be too proud to get help, either from friends or professionals.

15. Stop it with the shitty sleeping habits. That extra reel or video will not compare to getting more sleep at night.
16. Stop negative self-talk. Do you talk to yourself better than you would to your best friend? If so, time to re-evaluate.

17. Stop living your life on a screen. The stuff you see on your phone is not real life. Real life is going outside, touching grass & talking to people.
11
18. Stop staying indoors 24 hours a day. The quickest way to improve your mental health is to be in nature for 30 minutes.
19. Stop whining or complaining. The time spent sulking in self-pity can be spent finding a solution.

20. Stop following the wrong mf'ers on social media. They are either making your life better or entertaining you, or they gotta go.
21. Stop outsourcing your thinking to other people. This goes for me, AI, social, friends and family. Develop your own opinions and reasons why.

22. Stop wasting your damn time. Time is a non-renewable resource, and once you lose it it's gone. Make use of it or look back with regret.
23. Stop wasting money. You don't need half the shit you buy and this doubly true for things you buy for status.

24. Stop keeping a balance on your credit card. This is a fast path to getting yourself in a financial hole, which is sure to create stress.
25. Stop being an amateur with your finances. Learn how to save, invest, and budget correctly. Most money issues are SKILL issues.

26. Stop trying to control shit you got no control over. If it is outside of your control, let go and let God.
27. That said, stop trying to control others too.
28. Stop saying yes to everything. Every yes is a no to the things that actually matter.

29. Stop controlling your perception. We don't get to choose much but the one thing we do is choosing what things mean to us.
30. Stop being afraid. I know it's cliche but fear is the ultimate mind killer. Stop being afraid and stop hanging around people who try to make you afraid. Life is electric. Believe this.
