5 habits that are weakening your mental health

Meemansa Shekhawat

Discourse on mental health is certainly the need of the hour, given lifestyle changes among numerous of other factors. Let us tell you about five habits you should avoid to have a better mental health. 

1. Overthinking: Overthinking ruins your mental health. Not does it only shift away your focus from productive things, it makes you anxious and over sensitive to trivial matters. 

2. Procrastinating: Procrastination only adds to unnecessary pressure and stress. Try breaking down tasks into small steps or delegate responsibilities, if possible. 

3. Negative self-talk: Negative self-talk lowers your confidence. Instead of fixating on your flaws, try being nice to yourselves and embrace challenges. 

4. Toxic relationship: Surround yourself with people who support your growth and admire you. Toxic relationships only make you highly doubtful of your own capabilities and strength. 

5. Ignoring physical health: Do not make the mistake of ignoring physical health as a healthy mind needs a healthy body. Try to get balanced diet, proper sleep, and relaxation.
