I’m back!
What? Another blog?! But she said it was finished last week!
Well think again fellow bloggers!
As much I desperately wish these blogs were over, I must properly conclude and sum up all that was learned! Once I successfully do that, then I can end this thing for good! (THANK GOODNESS!)
I couldn’t just leave you all in the dark, could I! Together, we learned about many different bad habits. So, I figured I would explain all the processes I used while choosing and writing about them.
I decided that I would start out by introducing 4 minor bad habits. Ones that we can almost all relate to and basically get the ball rolling. Can anyone remember which ones they were? I’ll help you out!
WE HAD:
1.Nail biting
2.Knuckle cracking
3.Using fillers such as um or like
4.Foot Tapping
Throughout these four blogs I wanted to capture everyones attention to minor habits that we do without even thinking about them. From these simple little habits, we learned that they are caused by unsatisfied emotions that we don’t exactly know how to deal with. Ironically, these are the SAME causes for the 4 MAJOR bad habits that I explored (see what I did there *wink wink*). I decided to prove to everyone that the things that trigger little quirks in us can also trigger life threatening addictions and habits. Is that not crazy?
What I believe separated the large from the small are the individuals abilities to cope with certain emotions. Habits will always start out small and develop (trust me on this), and once they develop into worse habits, that is when it starts to become dangerous. Which is what led me to my next four habits which were:
1.Smoking
2.Bad Sleep habits
3.Emotional Eating (overeating)
4.Underage Drinking
These four habits are ones that can potentially affect our health and lead to other more serious problems in the future. Which is why I wanted to bring attention to them and make them known. After all, no one TRULY knows exactly which habits affect them until someone else talks about them, right? Heck! I didn't even realize how much some of these habits affected me until I wrote this blog.
I must say, I now find it rather annoying, ESPECIALLY when I use the "killer fillers" I wrote about. That one is HANDS DOWN my worst habit and by far the most annoying...
Anyways, let's carry on.
There was a reason behind every single habit I chose throughout this blog. The first factor I took into account was how easily people would be able to relate to them (and when I say people, I do include myself) . Once that was established, I tried to make sure all of these habits were emotion based. Why? Because we don’t know how to deal with certain emotions, so we train our minds to try and find other means of coping with stressful situations. We are basically training our subconscious to dismiss what it’s trying to tell us and to replace it with things that could potentially lead to negative results on our health.
I hope this was clear throughout my blogs, and I hope everyone enjoyed reading about the different habits I chose to talk about! Let's start ending our bad habits once and for all! It might take some time, but we'll get there, I'm sure of it.
It’s been one heck of a journey from blog #1 to #10 and I’d say it’s a relief to be done! (As much fun as it was....)
Thanks everyone for sticking around and reading about what I had to say. I must confess, at times I even bored myself!
Who knows, maybe I’ll choose to write my own blog in the future. One that isn’t forced on me against my will by an English class! (haha)
Bye everyone!
Which direction will YOU choose?
