Lowering your standards and giving in to mediocrity will only bring dissatisfaction and grief to you in the long run. Settling in for less might sound less bothersome now, but when a person practices this for long, they become an accomplice in their own dissatisfaction. That’s why with 2021 almost here, you need to stop settling for things that are not good or healthy for you in the long run.
On the other hand, as you begin to make decisions that reflect what you desire from your life and your relationships, you will start to feel better about yourself. The better you feel, the easier it becomes for you to reject mistreatment. And when you resist the need to settle, you will be rewarded with opportunities.
Here Is What Each Zodiac Sign Needs To Stop Settling For In 2021
1. Aries
Go for your dream career instead of settling for one that does not make you happy.
The first thing you need to do is take a step back to understand who you are and why you feel stuck. Many times we end up in careers that can seem like compromises. But be assured that it is never too late to change. Tiny but consistent steps forward can lead to monumental changes.
Try to recollect what you are good at and what made people compliment you. Consider some options that you had dismissed years back because they seemed unrealistic or impractical then.
Open your mind. Make your choices based on what you want to do instead of what you should do. Explore the possibilities, develop a plan, and get there.

2. Taurus
Build friendships that will lift you up and not belittle you.
Negative friends will continually have a negative impact on your life. They end up causing more misery than they are worth. Recognizing such friends who are constantly putting you down or holding you back is your first task, and stop settling for them in 2021.
Fewer positive friends will add more happiness to your life. Stay away from those who are always pointing out your faults and mistakes. Finally, avoid the compulsive liars or the spiteful type who will wish your every plan to fail.

3. Gemini
Choose a relationship that gives you happiness, not anxiety.
As we begin to make decisions that reflect our desire from life and relationships, we notice that many times we continually settle for less than what we want. Resist the desire to compromise with mistreatment or other sources of stress in a relationship. Stop justifying the negative behavior of others.
Recognize that getting what you want is not a sin. At times being alone is better than being in a toxic relationship. Never agree with what you don’t want.

4. Cancer
Be in a relationship where your feelings matter and not just your presence.
Many a time you get to hear that you are mediocre and not good enough. Somebody who claims to be close would never say such things. They let you down in small ways and if that becomes a constant, it is a sign to take stock of your relationship. A healthy relationship is built on respect. So if your partner always lets you down, it is a sign that they aren’t getting you all that you deserve.
Such partners don’t mention your relationship on social media and exclude you from their friend groups. You don’t get the attention you deserve and they aren’t around to support you. To top it all, they are critical of you and embarrass you in public.
These little letdowns can start to make you feel unloved and unsupported and erode your relationship. And you definitely deserve more.

Do not get stuck doing something that you don’t like doing anymore.
Maybe it is time to ditch your career if it has run aground. Making the decision to change jobs or careers can be scary. But it becomes necessary when circumstances change and you find that you no longer get the same support or appreciation for your work.
If you are in this situation, first try to do everything you can to remedy the situation. But if nothing works, maybe it is time to move on.

6. Virgo
Make friends who will boost you, not put you down every step of the way.
We all have friends who remind us when we go off the path. But there is a difference between that, and friends who always pick on us at every step of the way. They badly affect your confidence, your mental health, and self-worth. Your whole experience of the world gets clouded.
It is time you devote less time to such friends. They drain your energy and dissuade you from any positive things that you might contemplate.

Be in a relationship where you will be respected, not manipulated all the time.
If you feel that your partner doesn’t appreciate you or your efforts as much as you deserve, there is a big chance that you are right. You don’t get the basic level of respect and they keep you away from their life. They aren’t faithful and don’t make the effort to make things right.
You realize that you are not the priority anymore and are being emotionally manipulated. Remember, you have a choice. Go for an open and honest discussion and if things don’t work out, look for a better option.

While in a relationship we cannot always look for external influences to make us happy. But we are the ones responsible for ourselves. Not anyone else. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, we need to identify the problem and find a solution to it. Be assertive in your decisions. In the end, it is your decision alone that matters. So, stop settling and let 2021 herald a happier version of you!
