- They tend to look for the easiest way out. People who tend to live unhealthy lives also tend to want faster, simpler solutions. They want immediate results, rather than relying on hard work to get what they want or need. They tend to look for handouts, for others to do things for them, and to not have to work hard to achieve their goals.
- They almost always assume the worst. Those leading unhealthy lives tend to see the worst in everything. When they get news, their minds begin thinking of the worst possible scenarios. These same people often assume that other people don’t like them due to their unhealthy habits, they assume that they have messed up, or are going to mess up, and most believe that their attempts at success will ultimately fail or go unnoticed. They tend to believe that other people have negative intentions toward them and that they will go disliked.
- Unhealthy individuals don’t set goals for themselves. Individuals maintaining an unhealthy lifestyle often don’t create steps or goals for themselves, and they often quit before they begin when they do. Most of the time, they spend their entire lives doing nothing, not attempting to reach a better life for themselves. They will often confide in others that they would like better things in life, but are unwilling to set up goals to achieve what they want, much less create strategies that would improve them, their lives, or their situations.
