5 Habits You Should Leave This Year For A Happy Life



Habits you should leave this year for a happy life All of us have habits that are good and bad. Some habits can be beneficial to you while other habits can bring you ruin. This New Year instead of making grandiose resolutions you can try kicking of some bad habits that have been giving you a lot of grief. The first step in getting rid of a habit or habits is to make a list of the habits that you think are making your life difficult. Some bad habits might give you joy for a while but you will know for yourself that it is a mistake and that sooner or later you would have to get done with it. Here are some habits that you should leave this year for a happy life.

1. Procrastination

Postponing stuff for a later time can be really habit forming and can make your life stressful and keep you irritated and on your feet. When you have something to do or an assignment to finish, start work on it as soon as you can. When you procrastinate, you will be only spending a lot more time thinking on how to do it and stress about finishing it on time. If you start it sooner and finish it with time to spare you can relax and be confident about having done the work well.

2. Quitting something in the middle

It is a common thing for most people to start something as a New Year resolution and forgetting about it after a few days or a few weeks. Even if it is not a New Year’s resolution most of us have the nasty habit of starting something and leaving it mid way because we are either too lazy to continue or we get interested in something else. Instead of piling up a list of things you had abandoned halfway, this New Year you can cultivate a habit of finishing what you had started earlier.

3. Gossiping and back stabbing

Nothing can be a waste of time as gossiping and back stabbing is the worst relationship killer. There are so many interesting things that you can talk about and there is never any dearth of political or economic events that you can discuss with family or friends. Discussing such issues will make you more informed. Gossiping on the other hand serves no intellectual purpose and can only lead to ugly rumors being spread. Quit the habit and try not to speak ill of other people. Also make sure you do not speak ill of other people behind their back and plot for their fall. They will never forgive you for this behavior and relationships are hard to form.

4. Quit this year if you have a vice like smoking, drinking and gambling

Smoking has zero health benefits and it is only a myth that it is a stress buster. Many people claim that smoking lets then de-stress and think a lot better. This cannot be further from the truth. Smoking and drinking are bad for your health and only stress you further. Gambling also is a drain on your resources and can be pretty addictive. Quit these habits and you will be much happier in the long run.

5. The habit can also be as trivial as biting your nails

It does not have to be a life changing habit. It can be as small as trying to put an end to biting off your nails. Try different techniques that would help you stop biting your nails when you are tensed. Not only are stubby fingers never in fashion, biting and chewing on nails is also pretty un hygienic for you.
