9 Bad Habits That Block Your Dreams From Becoming Reality: by QuinModah(f): 3:35pm On Nov 10, 2022
9 bad habits that block your dreams from becoming reality:

1) Phone Addiction

You’re unhappy because your dopamine receptors are fried.

Checking your phone 100+ times per day is NOT only destroying your happiness

But your ability to get shit done.

The best productivity app on your phone is called airplane mode (use it).

2) Perfectionism

Perfectionism is more curse, less blessing.

The #1 factor that influences creative success? Volume produced.

Use the 70-20-10 Rule:

-70% of your work will be average
-20% will be suck
-10% will be amazing

If you’re avoiding failure, you’re avoiding success.

3) Sitting All Day

Our ancestors used to hunt mammoths.

Now we sit at desks for 8 hours every day.

Then we watch TV for another 4 hours (on average).

Humans aren’t built for this.

Get a standing desk, go for walks, and move your body daily.

4) Never Being Alone

Society has programmed us to think it’s weird to do things alone.

The problem is if you’re not comfortable being alone,

you’ll never be comfortable leaving toxic relationships.

A person who’s happy alone is a powerful person.

5) Netflix

You could be living your dreams, but instead, you decide to live someone else’s.

TV is passive; reading is active.

TV shuts off your brain; reading turns on your imagination.

Your mind deserves better than Netflix.

Cancel your subscription, and thank me later.

6) Eating Processed Foods

Uncomfortable fact:

More people die in the U.S. of overfeeding than underfeeding.

Today food companies optimize for "Bliss-Point."

They engineer the exact combination of salt, sugar, and fat for tastiness.

Soda, chips, candy bars, etc. are all "bliss-point" optimized.

It's killing millions.

Choose unprocessed, whole foods.

You will feel ON (finally).

7) Treating Symptoms Instead of Root Causes

Xanax, Adderall, weight loss pills...

I’m not talking about people who are prescribed these.

I’m talking about the people abusing them instead of treating root causes.

Get addicted to exercising, eating clean, and sleeping 7.5+ hrs.

cool Swiping Endlessly on Dating Apps

The comfort culture avoids face-to-face interaction.

Even voice texts are seen as a personal assault these days…

Being courageous in real life is more attractive than anything you could ever say in a dating app.

9) False Kindness

Today our society walks on eggshells.

It takes the form of participation trophies and avoiding tough conversations.

People aren’t getting the critical feedback they need to grow.

Create an inner circle that will give you honest feedback.

TL;DR for bad habits blocking your dreams

1. Phone Addiction
2. Perfectionism
3. Sitting All Day
4. Never Being Alone
5. Netflix
6. Processed Foods
7. Treating Symptoms
8. Swiping Endlessly on Dating Apps
9. False Kindness
