L&S: 5 bad habits that steal your joy

Everyone has bad habits, but sometimes these
habits can be very harmful to your health and steal your joy. Here is
a list of five different bad habits and
the best way to break them.

1. Holding on to negative thoughts that are based on
fear. This habit is very harmful to your psychological
health. Negative thoughts can affect your body and
you could start to feel run down or depressed. Living
with fear is not a good way to live. If you surround
yourself with positive thoughts, your body will reflect
it.

2. Another bad habit is continually comparing
yourself to others around you. If you compare
yourself to others, you will never feel like you are
good enough. This could cause depression as well
because you will always feel inadequate. To break
this habit, work slowly and stop comparing yourself
to others. Instead, focus on yourself and the many
good aspects of your personality and abilities.

3. Bad habit number three is focusing too much on
the past or the future. If you remain hung on bad
things that happened in the past, and focus too
much on negative things that might happen in the
future, you will never be able to fully live in the
present time. To break this, make sure that you
ground yourself in the present and enjoy what you
have at the current time. Don't worry about the past
or the future; learn to stay in the moment.

4. Next is clinging to expectations. Everyone is
different. If you think that you need to meet
exceedingly high expectations, you could affect your
health and well-being by doing whatever you can to
meet these expectations. To break this, set smaller
goals and don't focus on exceeding high
expectations.

5. The last bad habit is holding in your feelings. Not
allowing yourself to express your feelings or not
allowing yourself to feel them will cause them to
build up. Inevitably, one day everything will blow up
and could lead to psychological problems. To break
this habit, allow yourself to feel things. If you are sad,
be sad. Don't pretend to be happy when you are not.
