00:00Three habits you didn't know are actually self-harm.

00:03When we think of self-harm, we usually imagine obvious physical actions like cutting or burning.

00:09However, some daily habits that seem harmless can quietly hurt your mental, emotional, or physical health.

00:15They are actually forms of self-harm.

00:18Recognizing these behaviors is important to improve your well-being and foster self-compassion.

00:23Here are three common habits you might not realize are ways you harm yourself.

00:27Number 1. Negative self-talk

00:30One of the most damaging but overlooked forms of self-harm is negative self-talk.

00:36This happens when you repeatedly criticize yourself or tell yourself you aren't good enough.

00:41Although it doesn't leave physical marks, the effects on your mental health can be deep and long-lasting.

00:46Constant negativity toward yourself can cause low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

00:52It essentially wounds your emotional well-being.

00:56Becoming aware of this damaging inner dialogue and replacing negative thoughts with kinder ones is a crucial step toward healing.

01:03Number 2. Ignoring basic needs

01:05Another subtle form of self-harm is neglecting your basic needs such as sleep, nutrition, hygiene, and exercise.

01:12When you consistently skip meals, avoid taking care of your body, or sacrifice sleep, you are harming your physical and mental health.

01:21Over time, this self-neglect affects your energy, mood, and immune system.

01:25Many people don't realize that not taking care of yourself can be a slow, lasting form of self-harm.

01:32Prioritizing self-care by eating well, resting, and moving your body isn't selfish.

01:37It's essential for your survival and mental balance.

01:40Number 3. Overworking and chronic stress

01:43In today's busy world, pushing yourself to work long hours and ignoring the need for rest is another hidden form of self-harm.

01:51Overworking leads to chronic stress, which can cause burnout, anxiety, and physical health problems like heart disease.

01:58Sacrificing personal time for work may seem productive, but it wears down your body and mind.

02:05Learning to set boundaries, take breaks, and allow time for relaxation and social connection can help you break this harmful pattern.
