Bad habits prevent a person from successfully realizing himself as a person. Most of these habits negatively affect either the person with the habit or the people around them. In any case, you need to try to deal with this problem as quickly and efficiently as possible, so that it will never again interfere with you or those around you. In this rating, we will talk about the most bad habits and addictions.

To some, profanity may not seem like such a bad habit, but just an element of the language, which has recently been used more and more often by an increasing number of people. Even on the air of many programs, you can hear the “beeping” of the mat. The use of obscene language not only shows disrespect for those present, but can also become a habit when obscene words slip through every 5-6 words. Such behavior is unacceptable in a cultural society, and even more so in the presence of children who repeat everything after adults.

11

Coffee is a very popular and beloved drink by many, but its frequent use can also be called a bad habit. Coffee can exacerbate hypertension, some gastrointestinal diseases, it is absolutely unacceptable for most cardiovascular diseases and with damage to the retina. But all this is true only when coffee is clearly overdone. Coffee definitely can not be drunk with alcohol and mixed with tobacco smoke. This is a big blow to the cardiovascular system. In general, as with any other food, coffee should not be overdone. Everything is good in moderation.

Sleep is a vital necessity. Its absence leads to serious health problems. Symptoms of lack of sleep can be: dark circles under the eyes, a slight swelling of the face and loss of skin tone throughout the body, the occurrence of unreasonable irritability, low concentration and absent-mindedness. Also possible are jumps in blood pressure, a rapid heartbeat, loss of appetite, and stomach problems. A person completely loses an adequate reaction to what is happening around. The protective function of the body is weakened, a delayed reaction to external factors occurs, which provokes low productivity. Gastritis, stomach ulcers, hypertension, and sometimes even obesity - these are the companions of those who are forced to stay awake for a long time.

The harm of diets lies in the fact that after sitting on them for a while, the body will rebuild its work and slow down metabolism, and when a person starts eating again, fat is deposited not only where it was before, but also in new places, in organs, which harms them . It happens that a person goes on a diet without taking into account his health, which harms his body. Due to the constant rearrangements of the body to our diet, the work of the heart, joints and immune system can suffer. Often, due to diets, spending money on food and time for preparing them increases. In terms of psychological stress, diets are also very harmful. Possible suffering from failure, feelings of guilt and shame associated with it, pain caused by the ridicule of colleagues and family, a feeling of weakness, inability to pull oneself together. All this is hard to experience and sometimes leads to depression to a greater extent than the very presence of excess weight and the associated inconvenience.

More than 30,000 people die each year from various resistant diseases. Unreasonable use of antibiotics leads to an increase in mortality, as the number of severe forms and complications of infectious diseases increases due to the resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial drugs. In fact, antibiotics simply lose their effectiveness. For example, at the beginning of the era of antibiotics, steptococcal infections were treated with penicillin. And now streptococci have an enzyme that breaks down penicillin. If earlier it was possible to get rid of some diseases with a single injection, now a long course of treatment is required. Resistance of diseases to antibiotics is caused by the fact that these drugs are available and cheap, sold without a prescription. Therefore, many people buy antibiotics and take them for any infection.

Many interrupt the course of treatment prescribed by the doctor immediately after the symptoms are relieved, and those microorganisms that have become resistant to these antibiotics remain in the body. These microbes will multiply rapidly and pass on their antibiotic resistance genes. Another negative side of the uncontrolled use of antibiotics is the rampant growth of fungal infections. Since the drugs suppress the natural microflora of the body, those infections that our immunity has not allowed to multiply before begin to rage.

Computer addiction is a broad term that refers to a wide range of behavioral and impulse control problems. The main types that were identified in the course of the study are characterized as follows: an irresistible attraction to visiting porn sites and engaging in cybersex, an addiction to virtual dating and an abundance of acquaintances and friends on the Web, online gambling and constant purchases or participation in auctions, endless travel on the Web in search of information, obsessive game of computer games.

Gambling may seem like a bad habit for teenagers, but it's not. Adults are equally affected. Network reality allows you to simulate a creative state through limitless possibilities for searching and making discoveries. And most importantly - surfing the net gives a feeling of being in the "stream" - complete immersion in action with a shutdown from external reality with a feeling of being in another world, another time, another dimension. Since there is no official diagnosis of computer addiction yet, the criteria for its treatment have not yet been sufficiently developed.

This disease is associated with addiction to all kinds of gambling, such as casinos, slot machines, cards and interactive games. Gambling can manifest itself as a disease and, much more often, as one of the symptoms of another mental illness: depression, manic states, even schizophrenia. The main symptom of gambling addiction is an obsessive desire to constantly play. It is impossible to distract a person from the game, most often he forgets to eat elementary food, becomes withdrawn. The circle of communication is sharply reduced, and changes almost completely, the behavior of a person also changes, and not for the better. Often there are all kinds of mental disorders. Usually, initially a person experiences a feeling of strength, but later they are replaced by a terrible depression and decadent moods. The disease of gambling, as well as other diseases, is curable. Although getting rid of it is incredibly difficult. This may even take years. After all, gambling has a similar psychological nature with smoking.

Some men and women are not at all ashamed of being sexually active, so they try their best to get sensual pleasure by having sexual intercourse with different partners. One researcher, studying adolescent sexuality, noted that in personal conversations with many adolescents who are sexually promiscuous, it turned out that, in their opinion, they live without a goal and are not very satisfied with themselves. In addition, he found that promiscuous young people suffer from "self-doubt and lack of self-esteem" the next morning. Often, those who have engaged in illicit sex have a change in attitude towards each other. The young man may find that his feelings for him have cooled somewhat and that she is not even as attractive as he thought. In turn, the girl may have the feeling that she was treated like a thing.

Promiscuous sex life is often the cause of sexually transmitted diseases. The vast majority of patients become infected as a result of their own sexual promiscuity, casual sex, promiscuity, that is, in violation of established norms of socialist morality. As a rule, a person who is prone to premarital and extramarital sexual relations is not demanding of himself in other respects: he abuses alcohol, is selfish, indifferent to the fate of his loved ones and to the work performed.

For many people, overeating is a real problem. In case of severe food addiction, consulting a nutritionist is sometimes not enough; support from a psychologist, supervision of a therapist, endocrinologist and other specialists is required. The causes of overeating are often difficult to identify and diagnose. Overeating leads to the fact that all organs and systems are overstrained. This leads to wear and tear and provokes the development of various diseases. Overeating and gluttony always turns into problems of the gastrointestinal tract. Overeating inevitably affects the condition of the skin, on which acne and blackheads appear. Needless to say, an overeaten person is useless not only for others, but also for himself. As a result, the desire to move, to talk disappears. There can be no talk of any. I just want to go to bed and nothing else.

Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health. However, every smoker thinks that the consequences of smoking will not affect him, and he lives for today, not thinking about the diseases that will inevitably appear in him in 10-20 years. It is known that sooner or later you will have to pay with your health for every bad habit. Smoking is associated with up to 90% of deaths from lung cancer, 75% from bronchitis and 25% from coronary heart disease among men under 65 years of age. Smoking or passive inhalation of tobacco smoke can cause infertility in women. Atrophy and destruction of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord in multiple sclerosis is more pronounced in patients who smoked for at least 6 months during their lifetime compared to never smokers.

Smoking addiction can be both psychological and physical. With psychological dependence, a person reaches for a cigarette when he is in a smoking company, or in a state of stress, nervous tension, to stimulate mental activity. In physical addiction, the body's demand for a dose of nicotine is so strong that the entire attention of the smoker is focused on finding a cigarette, the idea of ​​smoking becomes so obsessive that most other needs fade into the background. It becomes impossible to concentrate on anything other than a cigarette, apathy, unwillingness to do anything, may set in.

Alcohol is present in the life of almost every person. Someone drinks only on holidays, someone likes to relax with a portion of alcohol on the weekends, and someone abuses alcohol all the time. Under the influence of ethanol, which is found in alcoholic beverages, everything collapses, primarily the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Weak muscles, blood clots, diabetes, a shrunken brain, a swollen liver, weakened kidneys, impotence, depression, stomach ulcers - these are just a partial list of what you can get from regularly drinking beer or something stronger. Any portion of alcohol is a blow to the intellect, to health, to the future.

A bottle of vodka drunk in an hour can literally kill you on the spot. Next time, before you drink 100 grams, imagine your body slowly dying under the influence of ethanol while you are having fun. Imagine that your cells are slowly suffocating, that the brain, in order to escape, blocks many brain centers, which causes incoherent speech, impaired spatial sensation, impaired coordination of movements and memory lapses. Imagine how your blood thickens, forming deadly blood clots, how blood sugar levels go off scale, how brain structures responsible for intelligence and ingenuity die, how alcohol burns through the walls of the stomach, forming non-healing ulcers.

The use of drugs leads to severe disorders, primarily of the mental and physical functions of the body. In modern society, few people do not know about the dangers of drugs, but despite this, they still attract people, becoming destructive for many. People who use drugs develop insomnia, dry mucous membranes, nasal congestion, trembling in the hands, and the pupils become unusually wide, unresponsive to changes in the illumination of the eye.

A drug is a poison, it slowly destroys a person's brain, his psyche. They either die from a ruptured heart or because their nasal septum thins out, resulting in fatal bleeding. When using, for example, LSD, a person loses the ability to navigate in space, he gets the feeling that he can fly and, believing in his abilities, jumps from the last floor. All drug addicts do not live long, regardless of the type of drug used. They lose the instinct of self-preservation, which leads to the fact that about 60% of drug addicts, during the first two years after initiation to drugs, attempt suicide. Many of them succeed.

A person acquires bad habits faster than good ones, and it is very difficult to get rid of them, for this you have to make a lot of effort. Scientists have proven that it takes several months or years for a person to get used to good habits, but even a week will be enough for bad habits. For this, a special study was carried out. I had to drink a glass of fresh juice every morning and run. Some did only part of the task, others did it not constantly, but after a few days. Everyone got used to it only after 4 months.

Bad habits - smoking, alcohol, delicious food produce the hormone of happiness, it is almost impossible to get rid of them.

What is a habit?

You can talk about a habit when a person constantly, without thinking about it, performs the same actions, without making any special efforts.

The habit can easily develop. For example, when a person is just learning to drive a car, it is difficult for him to get used to everything, in the future, he does everything automatically.

It is very difficult to wean from habits, especially bad ones, for this you need to constantly control yourself.

Make sure that in your life there are more good habits than bad ones!

Bad habits will definitely ruin our lives. That is why they are called harmful. But in order to get rid of this ailment and begin to study them in depth, you need to understand what bad habits are and their impact on health. So, bad habits are called those actions that a person repeats constantly so much that their implementation reaches automaticity. In addition, these actions harm the people around them, the health or the general physical or emotional state of the person. In other words, the person is in the grip of this habit, and it becomes an unbearably difficult task to give it up.

If we talk about the characteristics of such habits, then this is a systematic action, harm to others and the person himself, the inappropriateness of repeating actions. All this happens only due to the lack of a strong inner will. Of course, human health and emotional state due to the presence of such habits is constantly under threat. But we are talking about bad habits, because a person may well enlist good habits.

These are brushing your teeth in the morning, exercising in your free time, reading books before going to bed. In a word, everything that benefits a person makes his life better.

Pay attention to the fact that bad habits eventually lead to sad consequences, occupy all thoughts and all free time.

You get used to such actions, and getting rid of them is incredibly difficult. The most common habits are smoking, drinking alcohol and drugs. In fact, the list here is quite large.

It is advisable to indicate what bad habits are:

• Narcotics
• Alcohol consumption
• Smoking
• Use of toxic substances
• Passivity and laziness
• The desire to pull everything to the mouth (biting improvised objects, nails)
• Eating while watching TV
• Always and everywhere late
• There are many sweets
• Postpone everything to the last minute
• Keep everything in disarray
• Eating unhealthy foods (particularly fast foods)
• Sleep less
• Lead a passive and immobile lifestyle
• Spend a lot of time on gadgets
• Play computer games
• spend a lot of money on shopping
• Don't leave money in your wallet
• Slouch
• Speak obscene expression
• "Hang on a phone
• Throw things around the house
• To gossip.

And this is only a small part of those bad habits that make life worse. The list can be continued endlessly. Someone will say that many of the above are not bad habits, but ordinary components of life. For example, biting your nails seems to be something harmless and not harmful to others. But imagine how unpleasant it is for people to watch. In addition, the hands are not always clean, which means that this process is likely to lead to stomach disease.

It is important that if you constantly get little sleep, this can lead to poor physical condition, malaise and constant drowsiness.

Even having the opportunity to go to bed earlier, people with this problem do not do it. Until late at night, reading, watching TV. Not only does this affect those around you and your health, but productivity at work can also suffer. Therefore, those who underestimate such seemingly insignificant bad habits do it absolutely in vain.

Expert opinion

Egorova Natalya Sergeevna
Nutritionist, Nizhny Novgorod

Today, many adults lead the wrong way of life, neglecting all sorts of rules. And many have bad habits that are no less dangerous to health than eating junk food. Some of the most common bad habits are smoking and alcohol abuse. It is noteworthy that in a large percentage of cases, these habits are formed during adolescence. And then, already in adulthood, it becomes extremely difficult for a person to get rid of them.

Fighting smoking, alcoholism and even more so drug addiction is extremely difficult. Few people manage to get rid of deeply rooted habits on their own, only those who have motivation and great willpower. All the rest “rush about”, sometimes temporarily getting rid of the habit, then returning to it again. Such people need to first realize and accept the fact that they need the help of a specialist. By contacting a doctor, they will receive valuable recommendations that will help them get rid of addiction faster, more efficiently and with less effort.

If someone close to you suffers from smoking or alcoholism, you should persuade him to see a specialist.

How bad habits can affect health

It just seems that biting your nails, having a special love for sweets, putting things off indefinitely does not affect health in any way. Little things like that are dangerous. The opinion is wrong. Microbes will enter the body with nails, sweets lead to obesity, not doing things at the time is fraught with a nervous breakdown. Of course, habits such as smoking, alcohol, and drug use have the most serious consequences. This is an addiction that is difficult to get rid of without the help of specialists.

What does smoking lead to

It's not just the ingestion of nicotine. And many other harmful effects. Smoking destroys calcium in the body, and its deficiency is fraught with deterioration;

• teeth,
• nails,
• hair,
• skin.

Teeth turn yellow, skin becomes inelastic and ages rapidly, and hair falls out. Changes also occur within the body. The vessels cease to be elastic, fragility and weakness appear, which means that oxygen enters the body much worse, and the brain stops working normally, besides, the cells do not receive enough oxygen. And this is a direct path to hypertension. The digestive system also becomes unusable, the disease can provoke the appearance of a stomach ulcer.

It is impossible not to say about the likelihood of the occurrence of diseases such as:

• Cardiovascular
• Broncho-pulmonary
• Oncological

And this is just a small list of what can fall on a person after another cigarette.

Alcohol is the worst enemy

Sad consequences await the one who loves alcohol, who is not averse to "falling on a glass" and depends on drinking an alcoholic drink every day.

Please note: Because of alcohol, the body stops fighting diseases, immunity weakens, which means that it will now be much easier to “catch” another sore.

Actually, hence other destructive influences, in particular:

• liver problems
• Increasing sugar levels in the body
• Deterioration of the digestive system
• Memory loss.

This habit, alcohol, causes people to die more often due to fusel oil poisoning. Frequent and cases of suicide at the time of intoxication.

drug addiction

But modern society is struggling with another pressing problem, a habit - drug addiction. The doctor of the people, the problem of the 21st century.

Important! Drug addiction destroys a person, his life and the life of all those who are nearby.

The list of problems that come with drug addiction can be endless, but it is worthwhile to name the most serious and frequent of them. Drug addiction shortens life. Unfortunately, there are no known cases when a drug addict lived a long and happy life. There are more and more cases of people dying from drug overdose. A person has complications of a somatic and neuralgic nature. This also includes the degradation of the individual and the increased risk of diseases such as AIDS and HIV.

It is easier to prevent than to cure

As you know, it is better to eliminate any bad habit in the bud than to deal with it already in a neglected form, which means that the prevention of bad habits in this matter plays a big role.

Please note: Of course, it is much more difficult to negotiate with an adult, to convince him to change his worldview. But the brain of a teenager perceives information about the dangers of drugs and other bad habits much easier.

Therefore, it is effective to show themed films to teenagers, show book materials, conduct conversations, and discuss pressing problems. It is important to hold lectures with doctors, psychologists and other specialists. And if enough is said about smoking, alcohol and drugs in modern families, then much less attention is paid to other problems. It is important to focus on willpower, cleanliness and personality formation.

How to deal with the disease?

But if a bad habit still settled in you. Do not despair and give up. The main thing is to understand that getting rid of it overnight will not work. You need to make an effort and spend your time on it.

Important! First, determine what motivates you? It can be children, family, work. In other words, why change?

You can express your thoughts on a piece of paper, keep a diary. Effectively and visually draw up a plan of action. A clear procedure will make you follow the plan clearly and gradually get rid of the bad habit. Some people find it helpful to argue. But it is important that in the event of a loss, a person loses a lot, for example, parted with something expensive - money, earrings, etc. Do not give up the problem immediately, do it gradually. Try to do something useful and distracted, take up a hobby. Read a lot about what will happen if you do not get rid of this disease. The main thing is to imagine how wonderful your life will be without this bad habit and how it will change for the better. Believe in yourself and everything will work out.

Each person at least once noticed some kind of addiction, but not all of them are safe for the person himself, his environment. A lot has been said and written about bad habits and their impact on health, their types and causes, the fight against them and prevention, but this topic has not exhausted itself. Are there any reasons for this? Yes! Despite the huge amount of social advertising, bad habits have a detrimental effect on people and their families.

What are bad habits

Addictions that harm health, relationships, self-development, financial situation, are called bad habits. Some of them are perceived adequately, for example, tobacco smoking, although nicotine contributes to cancer, while others, on the contrary, cause a lot of negative emotions in society. However, all of them do not carry anything good in themselves, they turn a person into a hostage, make him dependent on a certain factor. If the object of desire is taken away from him, then even common sense does not stop the obsession to get what he wants.

Addictions

It has long been proven that addictions and their harmful effects have a bad effect on the health and psyche of others. The simplest example is passive smoking, during which the nicotine contained in tobacco smoke harms the body of an outsider more than the smoker himself. Young people, including schoolchildren, smoke, drink alcohol, indulge in light drugs, so that in ten years they will begin to suffer from alcoholism, substance abuse, treatment for infertility, heart problems, lungs, etc. The health of teenagers deteriorates instantly.

Experts identify three addictions that have gained widespread popularity among men and women over the past few decades. They lead to chronic diseases, destroy the brain, heart, blood vessels. Pregnant women, drinking or smoking, have no idea how alcohol or nicotine affects the intrauterine development of children, what heredity they pass on to offspring. Most importantly, they destroy families. Bad habits include alcoholism, drugs, gambling. These are the three horsemen of the apocalypse of the modern world, which are harmful to health.

Alcohol

Heavy drinking is not just an addiction. This is a huge health hazard. The mechanism of poisoning is based on the influence of such a poisonous substance as ethanol or ethyl alcohol. He begins his insidious action a minute after entering the stomach. However, the digestive tract is far from the only system that suffers from drinking alcohol.

The brain is one of the most important human organs. Excessive attachment to a glass causes persistent mental disorders, memory loss is observed. Due to the toxic effects of alcohol on the body, you can get alcoholic encephalopathy, which is a complex psychosis, a "delirium tremens" syndrome, consisting of somatic and neurological disorders. Alcohol has a negative effect on the liver, which takes the brunt of it. Cirrhosis of the liver is a slow but inevitable death.

drugs

More terrible than alcoholism can only be the use of drugs, which often consist of chemical harmful components. The impact of bad habits on the human body is enormous. Drugs affect the nervous system, there is a complete change in a healthy body for the worse. A person who takes drugs eventually becomes dependent on the state in which he stays, forgetting about the dangers of harmful substances. With constant doses, chronic poisoning of the body develops, such diseases occur:

• damage to internal organs;
• disruption of the nervous system;
• brain atrophy;
• violation of the production of hormones;
• liver and heart failure.

Drug addicts, unlike healthy people, are more likely to become depressed, ending their lives by suicide. Fatal overdose cases are not uncommon. This is the risk of contracting AIDS and other infections that are transmitted through the blood. Such people cannot get rid of drug addiction on their own, they need qualified help from doctors and psychologists. Recovery is very difficult, often with relapses.

gambling addiction

Bad habits and their impact on health are not limited to drugs and alcohol alone. Gambling is another scourge of modern society. A person, falling into such dependence, becomes lost to society. Gambling entails the following problems:

• Mental illness. An Internet player can sit in front of a monitor for hours. Perhaps he will not spend even a ruble, but he will forget about real life and the people around him. There is a degradation of the personality, the absence of any vital activity, in addition to the virtual world of games.
• Impact on health. Internet players forget about sleep, food. Cases have been recorded when such people go to the toilet for themselves. As a result, the Internet player becomes like a drug addict.
• Memory loss, decreased intelligence.

Consequences of bad habits

People who are addicted to addictions destroy their mental and physical health. Close people suffer from the consequences of such addictions. Drug addicts and alcoholics rarely admit that they are sick. This state of affairs aggravates the treatment, and such people need to be treated seriously, without delay. For these purposes, medical and psychological centers have been organized to work with young people and adult patients, where doctors and psychologists conduct complex therapy, explain how bad habits affect human health.

Effect on the body

Summing up, we can highlight the main bad habits and their consequences. Drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling, and the repeated impact of bad habits on human health cause the following problems.

In rare habits - this is what almost every average person can find in himself! And many people prefer not to see this as a problem and simply do not notice their own harmful addictions. You can often hear the excuse: “I have everything under control, this is not a bad habit at all, but a momentary weakness.” In fact, a person often does not even realize how much negativity bad habits bring into his life and how good it will be if you get rid of them. Consider in this article the most common types of bad habits and try to figure out what can be done to get rid of them.

Bad habits: list

Before starting to list popular bad habits, it is worth defining what it is. So what can be considered a bad habit? The pattern of actions that are clearly repeated over a long period of time, characteristic of a particular person, is a habit. It can be called harmful if it poses a potential threat to health, mood, psychological, physical comfort, environmental cleanliness, etc.

Here is a list of the most common bad habits:

• smoking;
• drinking alcoholic beverages;
• addiction to junk food (fast food, flour, sweets);
• gambling addiction;
• foul language;

But this is far from an exhaustive list of harmful addictions that modern people suffer from. There are less global habits, such as idle pastime. Many people do not see this as a bad addiction, but consider it a special trait of character. Like, he is used to taking everything from life, knows how to enjoy life and have fun. But in fact, he is an ordinary lazy person, a “burner” of life and simply an infantile person. The habit of biting nails, a pen, biting a lip, etc. is small and not always noticeable to others. However, such a trifle can greatly annoy even the owner of the problem. And such actions, performed regularly, are harmful to health.

Habits are different, and among them there are especially interesting ones that you want to pay attention to in the first place.

What are the bad habits of modern people

Let's take a look at a few common and not-so-popular bad habits.

tobacco addiction

Despite the fact that today a healthy lifestyle is becoming more and more popular, a lot of people are prone to addiction - smoking. It should be noted that the modern world has expanded the boundaries of this predilection. Today, people are addicted not only to cigarettes, but also to aromatic tobacco, which is smoked through hookahs. A newfangled trend - vaping is rapidly gaining momentum these days. Absolutely any form of dependence on tobacco products is harmful. And even the use of high-tech devices, vapes, does not solve, but exacerbates the problem. People who suffer from these habits endanger their own health, strike at the body of their own children, family members, and others.

Alcohol addiction

Drinking beer, wine, cocktails and strong alcoholic drinks is not safe for psychological comfort and physical health. Everyone knows about it. However, many people are prone to this addiction. It all starts with “harmless” beer, wine or other light alcoholic beverages and over time often turns into a habit that lays the ground for the formation of a pathological addiction.

tendency to overeat

It would seem that a person's need for food is quite understandable and is considered a normal phenomenon. However, gastronomy can also be a breeding ground for the formation of bad habits:

• binge eating;
• the habit of eating junk food;
• passion for dangerous mono-diets, etc.

You also need to eat right and you need to be able to control your gastronomic moods. Otherwise, you can form very dangerous habits that lead to obesity, the development of type 2 diabetes, and problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Shopaholism

The habit of lying

Almost every person resorts to lies in one way or another in his life. There is a so-called lie for good. Sometimes an innocent lie is used to mitigate the consequences of some events for a person.

Almost since childhood, we have to hear bad words somewhere on the street, from TV, from peers, etc. There are people for whom swearing becomes a habit. But a “strong” word spoken on emotions in rare cases is not as scary as the habit of “expressing” out of necessity and for no particular reason. Young girls, from whose mouths dirty curses are heard, immediately lose their charm. Guys and men who can't talk without swearing are also not attractive to the opposite sex. Foul language repels and creates an unsightly reputation for a person, which cannot but negatively affect the life of an individual who has such a habit.

Habit of chewing the tip of the hair

There are also habits that are not associated with any harmful deeds and actions. However, they are negative. For example, people with long hair sometimes get used to biting, twisting on a finger, chewing on the tip of a curl. On the one hand, there is nothing extra-dangerous in this. However, such an addiction looks very unpleasant from the outside. Yes, and the bearer of the habit can be terribly annoying.

Types of bad habits

Reading the above bad habits, you can track down some signs by which you can divide addictions into types.

In modern psychology, there are:

• physical addictions;
• psychological habits;
• psychophysiological habits;
• psycho-emotional addictions.

For example, the habit of chewing on a pencil or pen can be attributed to the physical manifestations of habituation to the patterns of actions. But the craving for smoking cigarettes, hookah, vape refers to psychophysiological pathological needs.

There are age-related habits, for example, children's: a sucking reflex, attachment to parents, the habit of falling asleep in an embrace with a toy. Senile addictions: a craving for discussing someone else's life, a habit of grumbling, an addiction to going to the market, to the clinic, to the store without any apparent need. There are options for addictions that are specific to a particular gender. For example, the habit of dieting, lamenting over extra pounds is more typical for women. But the addiction to card or other gambling, the habit of not observing the speed limit while driving a car is more common in men.

What to do? Prevention of bad habits

It is known that all negativity must be fought! What about bad habits? After all, it is clear that even the most harmless variation of addiction can take very frightening and repulsive forms. The main thing is to understand and recognize the presence of addiction. Only then will it be possible to deal with it. In some cases, getting rid of such a problem (smoking, alcoholism, gambling addiction) is possible only with the help of a specialist. People who have a strong will and are seriously focused on results often find the strength to overcome unnecessary, negative character traits in themselves. Before eradicating negative addictions in yourself, you need to know yourself, recognize your shortcomings and find the right way to eliminate them. It is important to understand that the path of cleansing from bad habits can be difficult. However, with due perseverance, after some time the desired results will be achieved.

How to deal with bad addictions with yoga

Naturally, to begin with, you will have to realize what exactly is superfluous and why it attracts so much. It is necessary to understand the nature of the emergence of certain attachments, habits.

Yogis believe that most of the habits are based on the craving for a kind of "doping" in the form of a special surge of positive energy. However, it is important to understand that by smoking a cigarette, drinking a can of beer, eating another donut, a person only receives a “trick” in the form of momentary pleasure. This pleasure does not give strength, does not improve mood, does not have a positive effect on a person's life. On the contrary, over time, retribution for an immoderate harmful hobby comes: health leaves, psychological comfort is undermined, the carrier of harmful addictions is increasingly faced with life failures.

Over time, a person will find complete liberation from harmful cravings. At a certain stage of yoga, you can learn to get the necessary charge in the right amount and when it is needed. Vedic practices are aimed at self-regulation of energy flows and a conscious rejection of everything superfluous that pollutes the spirit and forms karma.
