This blog post will be about eight seemingly good habits (tendencies, behaviors, mindsets) that are actually hurting us in the long term. They're harming our personal and professional lives, happiness, and health.

Some of these behaviors are indeed praise-worthy, but at the level they are a character of a lot of the society, they have lost the healthy balance and become hurtful.

Our brain is designed to protect us. To protect us from danger and experiences, it does not regard as "normal." Anything that throws us out of our comfort zone.

And many times, it can also mean very positive experiences, such as success — in life, business, finances, sports, relationships, etc.

Our vision gives us direction and a framework of where we are going. However, goals help us to define what we need to do practically to achieve that vision.

Does the vision board really work? And how to make one that really works?
