{Now that we’re about two weeks into 2016, it’s time to start getting serious about dropping old, unhealthy habits and replace them with new healthy ones. Whether it’s because you just haven’t had the time or you’re concerned about blowing your monthly budget, bad habits can be turned around in the span of a few months. The first step is recognition, and we’ve put together a list of 15 unhealthy habits to break in 2016. As the saying goes, old habits die hard, so let’s get started!}

{{Smoking }} – One the most unhealthy habits to quit immediately. You don’t want to walk around smiling like an ashtray, right? Not to mention the health risks. Lungs – you need those guys.
{{
Dining Out }} – Get to know your kitchen. Cooking can be a tedious task, no doubt, but it will certainly save you a little money and calories. After a while, it may become something you enjoy. Surrender to the apron.

{{Too Much Dumb Box }} – We all have our guilty indulgences in rotation on the boob tube but make sure you turn it off from time to time. Read a book instead. We get it, sometimes it has to be done – but there is nothing more unfortunate than voluntary consumption of garbage.
{{
Bad Snack Choices }} – You know when you’re at work and a co-workers offers to grab you something on their lunch run and you’re not even hungry but a dollar burger sounds nice? Don’t do it. You know you bought that apple with good intentions – eat it with an angry face.

{{Nail Biting }} – Sometimes our nerves get the best of us and we get to gnawing at the nails and peeling away cuticles to point we draw a little blood and it somehow sickly satisfies the impulse to indulge in an internal meltdown. Ugh! Enough of that. There’s an easy fix. Keep your nails manicured and it will make you think twice the next time you participate in hurting yourself.
{{
Too Many Sugary Drinks }} – Water should always be your go-to beverage. Let’s face it, we’re not kids anymore and that 20 something metabolism demanded a divorce and left us hanging. Sodas, sweet teas and flavored juices are so packed with sugar you might as well eat an apple pie … by yourself … in one sitting. Keep water on you at all times and if you need flavor that bad – put some lemon in it.
{{
Not Enough Sleep }} – Sleep is vital to your health – mentally, physically and spiritually. Without it, you just won’t function properly. It can leave one cranky, depressed, unhappy – all things morose and it’s just not healthy. Your body needs rest to restore and refuel itself and if you don’t hit the off switch for a reasonable amount of time, you leave yourself susceptible to illness. Rest yourself.
{{
Not Enough Exercise }} – Listen, ladies: that body that you picture in your head is totally attainable. All you have to do is work for it. Think about it – five days a week you get up early and drag yourself to a job that, more than likely, makes a small group of people rich. That’s the definition of the verb: to work. And, it’s not an option. So why is working on yourself optional?
{{
Picking at Your Face }} – Surely, it’s safe to assume you know that picking at your blemishes is bad and furthers skin damage because of the bacteria and germs under your nails but why is it so hard to stop? Those darn nerves again, right? If you could just get that last layer of skin off, you might just get that black head out. No! Stop this bathroom surgery business. Your skin will be as good to you as your are to it.

{{Wearing Sweats Everywhere }} – It’s sooo … easy. And sometimes, wearing jeans is just plain exhausting. Yes, sometimes is feels like a chore to get dressed to do anything. Especially when sweats and a t-shirt are readily available and did we mention comfy? Make a point to put some jeans and cute sweater on, a little makeup and a cute pair of boots or something. It’s sure to inspire some good ol’ self lovin’.
{{
Skipping Breakfast }} – Too many mornings we’re in such a rush to get where we’re going – work, getting the kids ready for school and to school and the list continues. The point is, we’re probably in such rush, we don’t take the time to make sure we get a good breakfast in. It doesn’t have to consist of several courses, but a piece of fruit or a bowl of cereal will do get you fueled up for the day and keep that midday crash away.

{{Overspending }} – There’s nothing worse than enjoying a little splurge and feeling guilty about it once you get home. Some of us have a tendency to find a good sale and go crazy for savings and wind up spending double what you anticipated. Instead of splurging budget a little bit of cash each month for wardrobe enhancement.

{{Overindulging }} – How many of us opened a bottle of wine after a hard day at work and before you know it, the bottle’s empty? Opps! Did I really just drink an entire bottle of wine in like … three hours? Fine, I’ll just sleep it off. And when the morning comes, you’re dragging major a**. It’s not worth days of recovery, headache and hangover cure, right? Take it easy and limit yourself.

{{Never Turn That Blasted Phone Off }} – Not silent. Not Vibrate. Off. It’s okay, some things can wait a few hours. Don’t we live without theses things once upon a time? There’s really nothing more to be said about this one.

{{Not Making Time for Our Little Ones}} – It’s so easy to fall into the routine of coming home and everybody goes into their respective places in the house while they do homework and you make dinner. You eat quietly, clean the kitchen and perform the bath and bed routine – and you wake up and do it again for many days. Taking an hour or two to sit with your kids and talk to them, play their favorite video game or to watch a TV show will make a world of difference for all of you and really makes a house feel like home!
