5 habits that drag you down

This article can not only read, but also listen. If you prefer - turn on a podcast.

1. Do not keep promises

Many of us hold back the word given to others, but for some reason forget about yourself. We promise ourselves to start running, eat right, monitor health, change jobs, and a lot more then. At this point, we emotionally already achieved the target, and therefore throws it at the beginning. We are gradually getting used to it and lose control over their own mind.

To get rid of this habit, reward yourself for each goal that you have achieved, for every promise made.

2. translate Service

Disabling the alarm and allowing yourself to sleep for another 10 of minutes, you lose the first battle of the day. Thus, you are setting yourself up a series of possible failures.

Surely you've noticed that sleep until dinner is not energizing, but on the contrary, denies it. Morning - this is a very productive time of the day. Try to spend with benefit.

3. Use your smartphone before bedtime

This habit adversely affects the health. Blue glow emanating from the screen of the smartphone, prevents the production of melatonin - the sleep hormone. This can lead to insomnia, vision problems, obesity.

Remove smartphone for 1-2 hours before bedtime. It is better to read the book: this pastime will be useful both for health and for your development.

Think - the toughest job; that's probably why so few are engaged.

4. Blame themselves for past

All we sometimes regret the past. But the way we think and analyze their own actions, affects our future.

Saying "I should do this ...", you blame yourself for the fact that something went wrong. Saying "I could do that ..." You blame yourself for missed opportunities. Saying "I had to do it ..." You blame yourself for lack of knowledge and experience that could improve the situation.

Such thoughts picture emerges of light, but unreal the future. Instead, concentrate on what good you have in your present life. Think about what you are grateful for her right now. Instead of "But if ..." tell me: "Next time I will ..."

5. Agree with everything

We are always afraid of missing something, somewhere not have time. Therefore, we often say "yes" to any to have this opportunity, even if not quite sure of the correctness of its decision.

Of course, to be able to break up and go towards adventure - a good trait. You just need to prioritize and not lose sight of what's important to you, not for someone else.

Life is long, if it skillfully exploited.

Seneca, the Stoic philosopher
