Smartphones
Constantly checking your phone, whether it's to answer texts, check email, or surf the web, can take its toll over time. Being "plugged in" 24/7 can lead to feelings of anxiousness or a persistent fear that you're missing something important. If possible, try to set aside a certain amount of time each day to experience life phone-free.
An Unhealthy Diet
Eating lots of fattening foods can make you feel sluggish and fatigued. Additionally, a poor diet may cause you to frequently worry about the potential health risks of being overweight. On the other hand, eating a diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables can give you more energy and make you feel better overall.
Social Media
There are many reasons why being addicted to social media can add unnecessary stress to your life. From posting a selfie and worrying about how many “likes” it gets to obsessively checking your newsfeed for updates, it's easy to fall down to social media rabbit hole. Try taking a break from your online profiles for a while and see how much better you feel!

Lack of Exercise
Getting regular physical activity has many stress relieving benefits because of the feel-good endorphins released by your brain when you work out. Also, studies show that physical activity helps your body be more equipped to deal with stress on a daily basis. A lack of exercise can leave you feeling sluggish, unmotivated, and stressed.
Saying "Yes" Too Much
Although helping out where and when you can may not seem like a big deal, taking on too many responsibilities will eventually begin to take its toll. You don't want to let anyone down, but adding too much to your plate can leave you feeling stressed and overworked. Prioritizing what's important and saying "no" to trivial requests will reduce your anxiety levels and leave you with more free time.
