Let’s talk about 23 habits that need to exit stage left as we step into a better version of ourselves.
1. Gifting someone and taking it back.
What’s the problem? Are you Santa or the Grinch? Make up your mind.
2. Chewing loudly and badly.
Let’s leave the asmr-chewing-in-public behind, please.
3. Not saying thank you.
Basic courtesy costs nothing, and it’s always in style don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
4. Feeling entitled to someone’s money.
Their pocket, their rules. Try humility and some hardwork—it’s free to try. Just saying.
5. Talking down on yourself.
My dear, the world already has critics; don’t add your name to the list.
6. Not returning people’s calls.
This one has my name written all over it but yeah…Phones have two MAIN functions—receiving and returning calls. Anything else I don’t know o.
7. Wearing clothes that don’t fit your body size.
Fashion rule: Own your size and slay your fit!!!!
8. Using the wrong font.
Times New Roman supremacy! Let’s leave Comic Sans for kids’ parties please.
9. Calling people you just met ‘bestie.’
Let’s not scare people off, yeah? Stop that rubbish now.
10. Not dropping comments on my posts.
Hello? Show some love where love is given. It’s simple.
11. Taking every correction as an attack.
Growth comes from feedback, not sulking.
12. Not brushing your teeth well.
Don’t start your day making enemies with your breath. You can do better.
13. Being shy to ask for a sanitary pad or a stain check.
Health over awkwardness, always.
14. Feeling embarrassed for innocent mistakes.
Laugh it off, do better and keep it moving. You are human.
15. Sleeping in church.
Find caffeine. God sees everything and he is not impressed with what you are doing.
16. Using ChatGPT and forgetting to edit the intro sentence.
Like seriously ????? In 2024!!!!!!!
17. Carving your eyebrows.
Let’s normalize leaving our brows alone and not asking people to carve it. If you must, please get professionals to handle the arches.
18. Printing your picture on your pillows.
Who are you trying to impress—your dreams?
19. Eating ten times a day.
Are you grazing? Please, for your sake, find balance.
20. Church hopping.
Side eye. Commit to one community and grow.
21. Dropping comments everywhere on Instagram and Twitter.
Not every post needs your hot take I promise you. You are embarrassing yourself.
22. Not having a habit.
No routine? No rhythm? Not in 2025 please.

Flip the script. Change your life. Be the one to call home.

1: Using endearing names for someone you just met a while ago. How can you be calling me "dear" when you just met me an hour ago, I'm not your dear please. Find them and call them.
2: Assuming that everyone that has a small stature is certainly younger than you and indirectly disrespecting them. Stop assuming that you're older than that petite lady, she's not your younger sister in the house.
You're the one that just looks older than your age. God has blessed some of us with ageless bodies.
3: Stop wearing Crocs to every event. Go and buy cooperate shoes please.
4: Wearing lipsticks that don't match your skin color or outfit. Stoopppeett.
Okay that's all for now, ngwa byeee! 🏃🏻♀️🫠
Leaving this here just so I’m not guilty of no 10 😂😂 But, Yh everything you said
