One of the best things I’ve done for my mental health in the last year is unsubscribe from the business building newsletter mailing lists I was on.

I’d read these emails and think I’m not good enough, I’m not doing enough. I don’t want to do that. I can’t do that. It just made me feel really shitty.

I knew I wasn’t going to build a successful business from that place of lack and I’m not good enough so I unsubscribed. And it made me feel a million times better.

If you’ve subscribed to something meant to be helpful and motivational but instead makes you feel small and shut down, it’s not doing it’s job and could possibly even be slowing you down from your goals.

If the dating sites are reminding you of how single you are and make you think “I’m never going to find the love of my life” take a break, don’t login for a while.

If listening to podcasts and reading articles about money make you feel hopeless and sad about your financial state, take a step back and don’t listen to those things for a bit.

If fitness pages on social media make you feel fat and inadequate, change your settings so those things don’t pop up in your news feed.

If reading blogs about positive psychology and your mindset overwhelm you, set up your reader so they’re not the first thing you see.

Step away. Unsubscribe. Funnel it into a folder where you don’t have to see it unless you choose to.

You do not deserve to feel shitty about yourself. I personally believe that you’ve got to love yourself into change. Approach it with hope, optimism, and love for the possibilities ahead.

If there are things that are coming across your screen that don’t allow you to feel good, inspired, and expanded, please, please, please, take the action necessary so they don’t come across your screen.

You’ll be amazed at what mental creative energy will be opened up to you when you do.

What do you need to remove from your screen?
