Some behaviors and habits look normal and you won’t even realise but they are affecting your mental health and will lead to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. These are the six habits to watch out for:
Addiction Of Anything
If you rely on anything like social media, food, shopping, alcohol and even work for the gratification and feel good then it is not healthy for you.
Constantly Checking Your Phone
Constantly scrolling and feeling the urge to just open anything may look harmless but it’s overstimulating your mind. One should try setting screen limits in your phone.
Staying Busy To Avoid Feeling
Suppressing your feelings and staying busy so you don’t have time to think about emotions will lead to deeper emotional struggles and burnout.
Sacrificing Sleep To Become More Productive
Sacrificing on your sleep to get more work done and be productive looks amazing but it will harm your concentration, mental health and decision making.
Ignoring Your Emotions
Bottling up your emotions and not sharing them will not let them go but will eat you up from inside. Acknowledging your emotions is very important.
Comparing Yourself To Others
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel like you are not enough but it’s important to know that everyone’s journey is very different and one should focus on their growth.
