For many people, the biggest obstacle in their way can be themselves.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way. By giving up a few bad habits, you can clear the way to improving your mood, energy levels, and outlook on life.

Take a look at the three bad habits you ought to get rid of:

Worrying Too Much

While some worrying is normal, worrying so much that you’re anxious and stressed all the time is not. Stress can have a negative effect on your health, leading to chronic conditions such as heart disease, a suppressed immune system or insomnia.

Try to let go of worrying about everything all of the time. Take a moment to breathe, be present, and ask yourself if there’s any logical basis to your worry.

Non-Stop Complaining

The next time you catch yourself complaining, try to redirect your attention to something positive about the situation, or think about a way that you can fix the problem.

Always Being a Perfectionist

While there are times that perfection matters, most of the time it doesn’t. Try not to let yourself become obsessed with perfection. Instead, pick a few things that you need to be perfect, and learn to be okay with everything else being not quite as perfect as you would like.
