4 Things Women Need to Stop Doing

Good evening readers! I hope you all are having a great week and that you have some fun plans for the Fourth of July. This weekend I think I am most excited about turning my phone off for 4 days! We are going to visit my husband's family, so it will be just a great opportunity to clear my mind and relax. 

Back to my blog! Today I want to talk about 4 things that we women need to stop doing. Before I list out these behaviors, I want to remind you all that I am included in this and have been guilty of doing these things in the present and in the past. We are all in this together! 

God created us SO different than man it's completely obvious right?! We do so many things different than men. We talk more, are more detailed, are more intuitive, show more empathy, and the list goes on and on. We have SO many strengths as women! However, sometimes those strengths become our weaknesses. Let's work on these together by stopping these behaviors. Here is the list I have comprised of the 4 Things Women Need to Stop Doing. 

 

1. Gossip: "idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others." (dictionary.reference.com)

 

This one is a biggie. If you have never gossiped about someone, you are probably lying to yourself. We have all done it. It happens in the school cafeteria, our work break room, through social media, the grocery store, our living rooms, and pretty much everywhere where two people are in the mood to dish. Men gossip too, but I DO notice that we women gossip more.

WHY WE NEED TO STOP: Because it's none of our business. Because we could be negatively affecting that person's life. Because we are not better than anyone else.  Because it's not fair for us to do this to someone when we can't stand the thought of someone doing this to us.

 

2. Being Materialistic

 

Women, just because she has it doesn't mean we have to have it.  Women, just because she can afford it doesn't mean we can afford it.  Women, we can fit in without following the crowd.

 

3. Being Critical of Ourselves.

There are too many women believing the lies in their heads that they are not skinny or pretty enough. There are too many women that lack self worth and let others treat them poorly. There are too many women that live an unhappy life because of how hard they are on themselves. Please love yourself! You are God's creation. 

 

4. Comparing Our Relationship to Others

This is a toxic thing to do. You see your friends or family member's husband doing something your husband isn't doing. Then, before you know it, your marriage is affected because you aren't a very happy partner. Women, we need to stop doing this! Our marriages/relationships are unique from anyone else's. Our men have different strengths from each other. Let's be thankful for them and tell them what we LOVE about them! 

Let's help ourselves fight the temptation to do these 4 things. Let's talk highly of others, be ourselves, talk positive to ourselves, and focus on the good happening in our relationships. This will help us for sure!

Have a great week everyone! :)
