Are Bad Habits Causing Your Stress?
When a person has bad
habits, you can bet this person will have stress throughout
their lifetime. For example, if a person smokes, it increases
the vitals functioning capabilities, which gradually affects
the heart, lungs and other vital organs. An autopsy will tell
if a person was a smoker because it will show on the body's
organs and the person's lungs will be black.
Now we
know that a person's internal organs are pinkis h and so if any organ is black
then problems likely occurred in the person's life. When a
person has problems, stress is obviously overwhelming. The
same can be said if a person is a heavy drinker. This will
affect the central nervous system and reduce a person's
ability to cope with stress.
Heavy drinkers put their self
in harm's way by destroying the body and potentially going to
jail in the future.
As you can see, bad habits
can cause stress and usually will cause
stress.
When a person is born, they're usually
healthy and if this person avoids bad habits that cause harm,
then their life will likely be more rewarding. If you're free
of chemicals and substances that can cause you harm, you'll be
able to make better decisions that should make your life more
successful.
Eating too much is another bad
habit that need to be modified. If you overeat
regularly and avoid exercising, then you are a likely
candidate for obesity, heart failure, strokes, diabetes and
other debilitatiing diseases. This will obviously cause
problems and problems are one of the major elements that
causes our stress to increase.
One of the worst
bad habits that creates potential danger is stress
itself. If you lack the ability to manage your life
and becomes stressed every time an expectation presents
itself, then this bad habit will also cause harm to the body.
Coping means we have the ability to manage our lives
successfully without creating stressors that cause our stress
to increase. Minimizing stressors can help us to live a more
productive lifestyle and provide us hope when we're going
through hard times.
It's never easy to eliminate a bad
habit since it is probably a ritual, but it's possible to work
toward reducing and finally eliminating the habits that cause
us stress. If you're used to smoking a cigarette after each
meal, then tell yourself that today you're going to drink
water instead of smoking. If you drink coffee and it heightens
your craving to smoke, then start drinking orange juice, milk
or some other healthy beverage. If you're a heavy drinker,
tell yourself every day that you're worth saving. Sit
down and review with yourself the many problems you're facing
and determine if some are less severe than others
are.
If you're often late paying your bills,
then you know how much of a problem this is, so you'll need to
learn and practice paying your bills on time. When you don't
pay your bills on time, late charges occur or shut-off notices
start piling up.
As you can see, we all cause a lot of
our own problems, which initiates stress. Sitting down
and evaluating our situation and making adjustments to our bad
habits can help bring forth rewards by seeing the problems
we've created and learning how to eliminate these problems in
our lives.
Another example is someone who is
often late for work. You know you have a bad habit that could
cost you your job. You may think that losing your job isn't a
problem, since someone else will hire you, but losing your job
is not the only problem here. If you continue to adhere to
this behavior by constantly being late for work, you're going
to develop a bad repetition that may make other businesses
hesitate to hire you because business owners do talk amongst
themselves.
You might experience permanent displacement
if you can't find a decent job which can lead to poverty,
potential crime and so forth. We're adding to the list of
problems by ignoring or not accepting that our bad habits are
the leading cause of uncontrolled stress. Our
decisions are at the top of the list that determines if our
stress is going to be overwhelming or not.
