Habits To Quit In 2022

Quit these 20 habits for a better life in 2022

1) Using Your Phone While Eating
Make your eating time a ‘no screentime’. Similarly, make your dining table a ‘no-screen zone’. Instead of looking at your phone, feel the sensation of your food i.e. the taste and smell of your food.

Put the phones away and enjoy conversing with your family members.

2) Not Spending Time in Nature
Challenge yourself to go on a walk every day. Do this without music. Observe, feel, smell, and simply be in Nature for this time.

Go to a park, lie in the sun and take a nap. Watch a sunrise or sunset. Sit outside and watch the clouds go by.

3) Watching Too Much Television
Time to kill your television. Television makes you dumb, and books make you smart.

Move your television out of your bedroom. Cancel your Netflix subscription.

4) Oversleeping and Undersleeping
Make a sleeping schedule and stick to it. Hang that schedule in your bedroom. If you use your mobile late at night, switch it off when it’s time to sleep.

5) Not Waking Up Early
Nobody is asking you to wake up at 4 am. But wake up early enough to hear the birds chirping and the sun rising.

Pray. Meditate. Plan your day. Take a walk. Fill your lungs with the fresh air of the morning.

6) Not Exercising
Get your heart rate up. Lift weights. Exercise at least 4 times a week, even if it’s just ten minutes. Start small and then gradually increase the intensity.

If you can’t afford a gym membership, do home workouts. You can find many tutorials on this topic on YouTube.

7) Overspending
Make a budget and stick to it. Cancel any unused gym memberships. Also, cancel online subscriptions to the services you longer use.

Pay yourself first. Save 10% of what you earn. Start a side hustle on the weekend.

8) Not Learning Something New
Learning doesn't end when you graduate. It is a lifelong process.

Read books. Watch videos. Enroll in online courses. Pick up a new hobby.

9) Spending Too Much Time In Front Of A Screen
Set screentime limits on your computer and mobile. Install apps that track the amount of time you spend on your devices. At the end of the day look at your total time. See where you could trim back and fill in the time with other activities.

I installed a screentime app on my phone and it helped me reduce my screentime from 7–8 hours to 3–4 hours.

Reserve 2 hours of ‘no-screen time’ every day. In those 2 hours, go to a peaceful place — in your home, or somewhere outside, and sit silently.

10) Not Making Your Bed
Start your day making your bed. By making your bed, you will be completing the first task of the day.
