Baby it’s time to let go of that bad blood.
You're attached to your phone basically always, and kind of ignore everything else around you.
Today you can pretty much do everything through apps on your phone – which makes it unsurprising that in a survey done in 2012, 66 percent of participants confessed to 'nomophobia', an actual fear of being without your phone. Smart phone dependencies have become so common that now recovery centers like The Ranch even provide rehab for it.
Do this instead: You can start by downloading an app like Moment to help you track the amount of hours you spend on your phone. Then try setting small boundaries for yourself such as:
- Put your phone away when you're out with friends.
- Don't use your phone when you're out to dinner.
- Setting it down when you've been on it for more than 20 min. at a time.
- Not touching it after 11 p.m.
If you need some extra help, here are 22 ways to break up with your cell phone.
You keep all your money in your checking account.
A survey done by Princeton Survey Research Associates International in 2014 found that 36 percent of adults are not saving for their retirement.
Do this instead: Create a savings account with your bank and try to delegate a small amount of money from each paycheck to be taken out and put in your savings. Just putting away $45 a paycheck will add up to $1,080 at the end of the year (if you're paid bimonthly.) If your job benefits include a 401(K) make sure to take advantage of that now as well.

You hold grudges forever and always.
When someone burns you – especially someone you trusted – it's extremely hard to get over the anger and hurt you feel towards them. But a study published in the Association for Psychological Science shows that holding on to those hurtful memories and resentful feelings can have a serious negative impact on your emotional and physical health.
Do this instead: While it may take some time, try to find it in yourself to forgive that person and move on. Don't waste your time concentrating on what's happened in the past. Holding a grudge is hurting you more than it's hurting them.

You spend a lottttt of energy thinking about finding a serious relationship.
The idea of needing to be in a serious relationship or being ready to settle down in your twenties is a social construct. And anyone who's putting pressure on you for not having a significant other needs to CHILL.
Do this instead: Your twenties are a time for exploration and figuring out what you want. By no means should you feel inadequate if you haven't found 'the one' yet. Go out, meet new people, and have fun. You shouldn't be on a manhunt every time you leave the house.
