Habits You Should Ditch Today
By Genevieve Cunningham
We all have bad habits. Some of us have habits that are only mild … such as popping our knuckles or biting our lips. Others have habits that are more detrimental to their health … such as smoking or daylong video game binges. And there is still another kind of bad habit that all of us suffer from. These are the habits that we don’t even realize are bad, and yet they’re probably wreaking some havoc in our health and lives. Take a look at these bad habits that we should all ditch as soon as possible, followed by one great habit to add to the mix.
You Live Out of a Bag
Far too many of us do this, and most of the time, we don’t even realize it. Take a look at the backpack or purse you carry with you most often. Empty the contents and take inventory. Chances are good that the bag contains massive amounts of needless materials. This makes the bag heavier, which pulls on our backs, leaving us in pain. Over time, this can cause permanent damage to our backs and bodies as a whole. To quit this habit, keep your bag light. Empty it out every day, and always keep your packing to a minimum.
You Swear to Check the Pain Later
This is especially true of pain that pops up in the back. Once we notice pain, we tend to stretch it out quickly, and then ignore it. We swear we’ll see a doctor later or if the pain gets worse, but we don’t really intend on doing it. This can lead to a worsening of the condition causing pain, which then adds to your discomfort and makes the problem last much longer than it has to. Stop ignoring your health! When you notice a pain, get it checked out. And do your best to make that quick reaction time a regular habit.
