Stress is the main reason why so many people are unhappy in life. If you’re stressed, you’re not alone. Stress has become increasingly common in today’s society.
If you want to cut down on the problems caused by stress and live a stress-free life, you need to stop doing these seven toxic things.
1. You Care Too much about What Others Think
If you desire to do something, then just do it. Stop caring about what others will think of you, it’s your life. You have the rights to live your life on your own terms. We often do things against our desire just because we anticipate how other people will perceive us. Remember other people’s opinions are just irrelevant when it comes to your happiness.
2. You Don’t Live in the Present Moment
The main reason you are not enjoying your present is that you are thinking about your past too much. Every minute you spend dwelling on the past is the minute of your present time you’re missing. No good can come from over-analyzing past mistakes or situations because you can’t fix them now. Learn lessons from your experiences and move on.
3. You Spend Too Much Time With Negative People
In order to be happy, it is important to be surrounded by those people who make you feel happy. Surrounding yourself with positive people is important for numerous reasons. When you’re around negative people, it can be incredibly draining to be around them for long periods of time. You end up feeling drained and discouraged just by being around those who don’t see the value in things—including themselves. But when you surround yourself with positive people, you end up feeling inspired instead of deflated and defeated
4. You’re Not Grateful and Not Focusing On What You Have
As Oprah Winfrey said, “If you concentrate on what you don’t have you will never ever have enough” Happy people know this fact, they acknowledge and are grateful for what they have.
The secret to staying happy and positive is to be thankful for the things you have in your life. Try keeping in gratitude journal and write down all the things you’re thankful for at the end of the day.

5. You Have Poor Eating Habits
We often ignore the fact that poor diet habits can also be the reason for our stressful lifestyle.
A healthy diet can make a significant contribution to living a stress-free life. The sooner you will adopt healthy eating habits more comfortable and happier you will be.
6. You Are Too Negative
Stop complaining. Sometimes things don’t go your way, you just need to accept the truth and move on.
Complaining about everything doesn’t bring happiness into your life. Try to change the way you think and be less judgmental, you will realize how happy you are.
7. You’re Overanalyzing and Catastrophizing
This one is a common human nature; we often take too much stress about those things which are yet to happen. Overanalyzing situations that haven’t happened doesn’t make you happy, it will just increase your levels of stress. Because you can’t predict the future, there is no point to stress over it. Deal with the present issues and focus on the current problems.
