‘Only visiting a healthcare professional if the issue is extreme/long-term persistent. Reduces the likelihood of catching serious illnesses in the early stages dramatically if you resist speaking to a doctor until it’s crippling.’
-Big-Incident-2435

‘Constantly saying “yes” to everything sounds polite and helpful, but over time it drains your energy, builds resentment, and burns you out before you even notice.’

‘bottling up emotions for a long period of time’

‘People who continuously choose to sweep things under the rug to “keep the peace.”

‘No peace is kept that way, it just builds a mountain of resentment until one day it causes irreparable harm to the relationship, whether it’s toxicity or indifference. And it makes the person who’s willing to work through the issues look like they’re the one who can’t let things go. People, please learn how to have difficult conversations constructively.’

‘Subjecting themselves to toxic people solely because they share DNA.’

‘Financial illiteracy. Not having a budget. Living on credit.

\Sure people “know” it’s bad. Those same people still get completely blindsided when they have to face it in adulthood.’

‘Eating those last few bites when you’re full. It’s just a few bites of food, right? It can lead to overeating and teaching your body to expect more food over time. This can lead to an increase in weight and all of the other mental health effects that go with weight gain.’

‘Not stretching.

‘Every day. Not necessarily each muscle group in one go, but stretch each muscle group every day, at least 30 seconds, wherever whenever you can — get it in where you fit it in. Waiting for toast? Stretch your chest/shoulders. Legs.

‘Assume a horse stance. Something.

‘Stretching is a little bit of a different kind of pain, that prevents a whole lot of pain.’
-The_Mr_Wilson

‘Going on your phone first thing when you wake up. It basically ruins your dopamine for the day.’
