The world today moves at a fast pace, and as a result, we might push the things that bother us to the side. However, it will help us in the long run to confront these things now.

In order to live your best life, here’s what you need to cut out (by way of your zodiac sign).

Aquarius (January 20th-February 18th)
You love to do things by yourself; you know that you’re self-sufficient and capable of doing anything you set your mind to. However, this mentality can sometimes cause you to appear aloof and stubborn when it comes to asking for help. Try to avoid seeing this as a sign of weakness; reaching out is a sign of strength.

Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)
As a Pisces, you tend to see the good in all people – your kind and compassionate nature spills over into every relationship you have. Because of this, you can feel deeply wounded when someone doesn’t appreciate you or what you’ve done for them. Let go of anyone who doesn’t recognize your worth.

Aries (March 21st-April 19th)
You have an extraordinarily powerful energy about you. You approach everything in your life with a head-on, determined attitude. In order to unlock your full potential, you need to rid your life of anything that drains this energy.  If you find that a project you’re working on is sucking the life out of you, rethink it. Find a new way to go about it by using your strengths to your advantage.

Taurus (April 20th-May 20th)
Taurus women have the remarkable capability to persist against all odds; they are grounded in reality. Remove anything that disrupts your sense of stability, but try and let loose a little too!

Gemini (May 21st-June 20th)
Geminis tend to become easily distracted, thanks to their dual nature. Get rid of the mentality that you need to take on a million tasks at once. Try to focus your energy on one thing at a time.

Cancer (June 21st-July 22nd)
As a Cancer, you are one of the most sentimental and emotional of the signs. You personally invest all of yourself into everything you do. Because of this, you may crave approval from other people. It will be helpful for you to try and avoid thinking so much like this and start living for yourself.

Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd)
Although Leo women are the epitome of confidence, you may take it personally when people are rude to you. You let other people’s opinions seriously hurt your self-esteem. Remove the mindset that everything is a personal attack and learn to take everything with a grain of salt. When people say hurtful things, it’s not a reflection of you, it’s a reflection of them.

Virgo (August 23rd-September 22nd)
Since Virgos are so calculating, they may plan everything down to the last detail. This can sometimes be stressful for you. Let go of the mentality that everything needs to be perfect and learn to embrace flexibility.

Libra (September 23rd-October 22nd)
Libras always strive for equilibrium. They love mediating arguments because they are capable of seeing both sides. However, this can cause you to become completely caught up in other people’s problems. It’s great that you want to help, but sometimes their stress can negatively impact you. Take a deep breath. Recognize that while your help is valuable, you need to take care of yourself too. Try to let go of the thought that you need to fix everyone’s problems.

Scorpio (October 23rd-November 21st)
As a Scorpio, you can be seen as stubborn, but you know that it’s just because you’re passionate about everything you do! If something is frustrating you, try and work through it. However, if it’s consuming all of your time and energy, get rid of it.

Sagittarius (November 22nd-December 21st)
You tend to get caught up in your own world, thus letting things that are right in front of you fall by the wayside. It will be helpful for you to sort through what’s important to you and re-prioritize. Try and break free of the little things that distract you from what really matters, like family, friends and goals. Find a balance between being an idealist and being a realist.

Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th)
Capricorn women are strong and determined. Once you have your mind set on a goal, you’ll do everything in your power to make it happen. Remove anyone who is holding you back from achieving what you were meant to.
