3. Sucking It In
I think we are all guilty of this, whether it’s to put on a sexy red skintight dress, to fit in that new pair of skinny jeans, or even a girdle. As much as we love to do this, we are robbing ourselves of much-needed oxygen, which makes your metabolism slower. “Belly breathing” is the best type of breathing, as it allows your lungs to fill and contract properly. Sucking in your stomach all day may give you that sleek look you are trying to achieve, but it doesn’t allow your diaphragm to drop and give your lungs the ability to completely fill with air. This can cause tension in your neck and shoulders, give you anxiety, as well as a slew of other issues.
Solution: Instead of trying to hide your problem area all of the time, attempt to address it. Look into exercise and diets that can assist in the elimination of the excess in that particular area.
4. YOLO
We live in that era where we feel like we can do it all even when we shouldn’t. Many of us are beginning to adopt the “you only live once” (YOLO) mentality. Not that there is anything wrong with being carefree, but sometimes this mentality can carry over into areas of life that it shouldn’t, such as impulsive shopping. Financial issues tend to remain at the height of what keeps people emotionally burdened with stress. Splurging on that designer bag that was way beyond your budget was probably a poor decision.
Solution: Next time you see that cute new trend that you can’t afford, try waiting for a sale, find a coupon or look out for it in a discount/outlet store.
