You Really Shouldn’t Be Doing These Things If Your Health Is A Priority

Do you think your health is a priority? Most people will say yes, but when it really comes down to it, you take one look at their daily actions and realize that it isn’t that much of a priority at all. Below are a few things you really shouldn’t be doing at all if your health is a priority to you. Take a look and see what you should be cutting out of your life to be the healthiest version of yourself.

Sitting All Day – Even At Work

Sitting all day, they say, is the new cancer. If you’re sitting for most of the day at work, even if you go to the gym for an hour, it can be very bad for you. If you don’t get any exercise, that makes sitting down at work and when you get home even worse for you.

Do your best to get up and walk around every hour. Try to alternate between sitting and standing if you can get a standing desk for your work. As they are so good for your health, your employer might just cover the costs.

Thinking Negatively

Negative thinking can be an addiction, and many people do it to some degree without even realizing it. It isn’t always our fault; many of us are brought up to look on the not so bright side of life, and in turn this can stop us from spotting opportunities that could come our way, and even weaken our immune systems. Plus, it can’t be fun to think negative thoughts all day can it?

It can take a little effort to reprogram your thoughts, but you can completely rewire your brain if you’re consistent.

Driving Distracted

Distracted driving can come from using your phone while driving, talking to passengers, and even singing along to the radio. Hurting yourself in a car accident can range from mild to pretty severe. It could change your life. The personal injury attorneys of Hupy and Abraham could help you to get compensation if it wasn’t your fault, but you should avoid getting into a car accident at all costs.

Trying To Escape From Yourself

Escape from the self is something that many of us do from time to time, some more often than others. Smoking, drinking, scrolling on your phone, spending money you haven’t got, and watching too much TV can all be considered escape from the self. A way for us to numb our brains so we don’t have to face up to anything going on in our lives or things that we should be doing.

All Work No Play

If you never have a day off or spend time doing something you actually like, a hobby for example, you could end up suffering from physical and mental burn out. It’s very real and dangerous and you’ll need time off work to get over it!

If your health is a priority, you should be making smarter choices. Take your mental health seriously, spend time facing and dealing with your emotions, and make sure you look after your body by moving and eating right!
