Your Health's Journal

When you are looking at good habits to add to your routine to improve your life, it is also a good idea to take a look at the bad ones. Toxic habits exist for every human, and are not usually “bad”, but simply unhealthy or taking away from your productivity.

Here are some toxic habits it might be a good idea to remove from your routine, or at least minimize when you can.

1-Constantly Using Your Phone

In today’s digital age, excessive screen time has become a prevalent bad habit. Spending long hours glued to screens, whether it’s on our smartphones, tablets, or computers, can negatively impact our physical and mental health. It can lead to poor posture, eye strain, sleep disruption, and decreased social interactions.

Not to mention it leads to other bad habits, like doom scrolling social media and taking in far too much information at one time. It is a good idea to set limits for yourself when it comes to screen time.

2-Letting Procrastination Take Over Your Life

Procrastination is something everyone does, and occasionally it’s not an issue. But when you get into the habit of constantly putting things off, that is when it becomes a problem.

Putting off tasks or delaying important responsibilities can result in missed deadlines, increased workload, and unnecessary stress. To overcome procrastination, practice time management techniques, break tasks into smaller, manageable chunks, set deadlines for yourself, and eliminate distractions.

3-Watching Screens Before Bed

Not only is it good to reduce screen time throughout the day, but before bed as well. It is very tempting to leave Netflix or YouTube on at night before sleep or to scroll your phone until you fall asleep, but this is often the reason you get poor sleep or have a lot of distractions in the middle of the night.

Try to shut off your screens before you head to bed.

4-Relying on Takeout

Takeout is a convenient way to feed yourself, and can often include healthier options that save you time and money. But like any other habit, when you rely on it too much, it becomes an issue. Even if you only eat the healthier options when you order food or bring it home, you get into the habit of never wanting to cook at home.

Try to set days of the week when you allow yourself to indulge, and days when you eat at home with food you prepared yourself.
