5 HABITS YOU SHOULD AVOID WHEN LIVING ALONE

Freedom is the most paramount thing in any human life. At one time in life, the is a desire to be free, at other time, there is the need to be free and alone.
When people live alone they are free to do whatever they wish and nobody can stop, restrict or order them. There are also lots of people who live alone due to different circumstances. For example, they are single because they can’t find their love or they have divorced. Other who live on there because of the need to be free from parental monitoring and others just have to live alone because of the strong need to focus. Freedom is something that we all need from time to time. So, it can be a nice idea to move out and live apart from others. I think it is really good for young people who have just graduated from the university and want to start a new independent life without parents. However, before taking this decision you should consider certain bad habits that may spoil your life.
Here is a list of five of some of the bad habit which you have to avoid by all means.
1. Not washing your dirty dishes
One welcoming habit you get when you begin to live alone is the strong urge to be lazy especially to ignore simple chores like washing dishes but it doesn’t mean that all people who live alone don’t wash their dirty dishes regularly. First of all, it depends on your personality. But if you don’t share your apartment with anyone else, you’ll be relaxed and let your dirty dishes pile up with the tiny voice at the back of head tellng you that you'll always have the time to wash them. This is one of the worst habits you should be aware of. If your dishes stay dirty for one day or even more, it will be difficult to clean them and you’ll have a big amount of work to do. That’s why you’d better wash up right after eating. It will be a great shame when your friends come to you and see dirty dishes in your kitchen, that is not a welcoming sight for visitors.
2. Eating or drinking directly from the container
Due to the fatigue after the days and also due to the fact no one will be there to caution them, those who live alone usually tend to eat various foods directly from the container and they almost never use glasses to drink beverages like wine or beer. To my mind you’ll look disgusting when drinking straight from the bottle. Try to get rid of this negative habit in order to look more attractive in the company of others. I’m sure you’ll get more pleasure from your food when eating it from your favorite plate and not from the cooking pot.
3. Leaving up decorations
Most of us have a terrible habit to leave up decorations after Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Birthday Parties and other holidays. Definitely, we like that festive atmosphere in our home and bright decorations are the only way to prolong those happy moments. But at the same time it may be annoying for everyone who visits you. Your guests will not understand you if they see your Christmas decorations a few months after the holiday. Thus, you ought to take down all decorations when the festivity is over, otherwise you will never do this.
4. Eating too much
If you live alone, you will constantly lack communication with other people and you can even be bored sometimes. In this case watching television and eating food are the easiest way to entertain yourself and feel a bit happier. Every time you have a desire to talk to someone you go to your kitchen and eat tasty foods which are generally high in calories. For many people this is a substitution of live communication. Even if calling a few friend for a chat does solve the problem, the call is not cheap neither will you always have your friends available.
We rarely think that this satisfaction is dangerous to us and very often it leads to overweight more like obesity.
5. Not changing your bed sheets regularly
Whether you live with your family or alone, you must not forget to change your bed sheets. There aren’t any excuses for you, except you are ill or injured. Make it a rule to change your bedclothes once a week. Moreover, it would be good if you wash your pillowcases more frequently as they get dirty very quickly. It's always to your own advantage and to keep u healthy.
