Tips to Help Break an Unhealthy Habit

A Positive, Optimistic Perspective: Greater overall optimism and positivity contribute to an individual’s health. Learning to be the positive voice inside of your head, instead of the negative one, can help you move beyond negative thinking.

Mindfulness: Rather than focusing on bad experiences from the past or stressors and concerns about the future, being mindful allows a person to put such thoughts aside and focus on the current moment. This increased mindfulness directly relates to an individual’s greater well-being.

Healthy Stress Management: Well-adjusted individuals use positive, rather than destructive, forms of stress management. Healthy ways to manage stress include physical exercise, relaxation, breathing techniques, and talking through issues with a friend or partner.
