Why Do All Bad Habits Seem to Involve Putting Stuff in Your Mouth?

Understanding the Psychology Behind Oral Fixations and Habit Loops Have you ever noticed that many of the habits we label as “bad” revolve around putting something in our mouths? Whether it’s cigarettes, junk food, alcohol, chewing gum, biting nails, or even constantly sipping coffee—our mouths get a lot of action when we’re stressed, bored, or trying to self-soothe. So, what gives? Why do our brains love using our mouths as a go-to coping mechanism? Let’s break it down. The Root of Oral Fixation: It Starts Early In psychology, the concept of oral fixation was first introduced by Sigmund Freud.

learning finance for beginners

Think of finance like your life is a business is the easiest way to learn. 

I managed £2,500,000 worth of assets for a corporation so I kinda know what I’m talking about.

It’s all about income vs expenditure (money coming in vs money going out) plus your assets (house etc that you can attain (buy) or dispose (sell) should you need to and your liabilities (loans, money you owe)

Financial terms are also really important to understand so us finance bunnies don’t pull the wool over your eyes should I say. 

Here are a few to get you started 

Trial Balance (TB) - a summary of all your assets, liabilities, bank balances, income & expenditure in a debit or credit style 

Balance sheet  - the top half of the trial balance with a summary of all your assets, liabilities, bank balances

Profit and loss (P&L) - the bottom half of your TB (trial balance) includes your income & expenditure

Asset- something you can sell (house, property)

Liability - something you owe (loan, car finance, mortgage)

Sorry only had 5 minutes, I’m just off to work but will continue this when I return 👌 speak soon vikki
