Are These Bad Habits Making You Moody, Anxious & Depressed?

Procrastinating

Sometimes anxiety and depression itself can cause a person to procrastinate on their to-do list simply because they lack the energy or ambition to complete a task. But, putting things off can also worsen a person’s anxiety or depression, as they will begin to feel like there is always a task that needs to be completed. If something becomes too overwhelming, it is best to break the task up into smaller projects and get rid of any distractions that can be holding an individual back from completing their work.

By preventing or even stopping procrastination in its tracks, an individual will be able to complete their task and achieve their goal, which will release dopamine within the brain. Dopamine is the chemical responsible for experiencing pleasure and reward, thereby accomplishing tasks can help defeat lingering symptoms of anxiety or depression.
