Let’s be honest, we all have those not-so-great habits that linger.
For me, it was the endless scrolling before bed, leaving me exhausted and anxious. But after a particularly rough night, I knew something had to change.
So, I embarked on a mission to identify and ditch unhealthy habits that were holding me back.
Here are 10 culprits I kicked to the curb (and the amazing results!):
1.Mindless Scrolling: Swapping late-night phone binges for a relaxing bedtime routine transformed my sleep and energy levels.
2. Negative Self-Talk: Replacing harsh inner critic with affirmations boosted my confidence and self-compassion.
3. Procrastination: Prioritising tasks and tackling them head-on brought a sense of accomplishment and reduced stress.
4. People-Pleasing: Learning to set boundaries and prioritize my needs led to healthier relationships and less resentment.
5. Sugar Crashes: Opting for balanced meals with complex carbs stabilized my mood and energy throughout the day.
6. Multitasking Mania: Focusing on one task at a time improved overall productivity and reduced overwhelm.
7. Bottling Up Emotions: Expressing my feelings openly (through journaling or talking to a friend) led to emotional clarity and healthier coping mechanisms.
8. Skipping Workouts: Regular exercise, even short walks, boosted my mood, energy, and overall well-being.
9. Unrealistic Expectations: Embracing a growth mindset and accepting setbacks as learning opportunities reduced frustration and self-doubt.
10. Neglecting Self-Care: Scheduling time for activities I enjoy — reading, taking a bath, spending time in nature — recharged my batteries and reduced stress.
