6. Getting A Wax

You’re already living a painful life at this moment, don’t add things up to it. Try to limit as much pain as possible.

7. Texting Your Ex

Yes, you’re emotionally vulnerable. Yes, you need someone to vent your feelings on. No, that fucker doesn’t deserve to be back in your life. In fact, delete his number right now.

8. Making A Booty Call

There’s nothing more fascinating than sex when you’re on your period, however, getting just any guy will not do the work for you. Getting Laid is good, but getting laid to prove something is bad.

9. Never Getting Out From Your Bed

The world is already gloomy, so save yourself from practically wasting your time in bed all day. Try the living room couch, that’s a much better option.

10. Having A Look Back On Your Social Media Memories

Save yourself from the trauma. You’re already high on emotion which is why you should absolutely in no case, come face-to-face with your 10th standard haircut.

11. Watching News

Let’s face the truth, shit is always going down in the world according to news, which is definitely not a good thing to see when your life is going down.

12. Watching Sobbing Videos

Why? Why would you want to cry your balls out on the proposal and emotional videos?

13. Nicholas Sparks Movies

This person alone has caused more people to cry their hearts out than actual heartbreak, which is why you should avoid him at all cost.

14. Eating Or Drinking Dairy

Another No-No during the first day of the period is to consume dairy products, in fact, one should avoid it on all 3-5 days of their periods. Get your necessary calcium intake through other substitutes like almond milk.

15. Going Trekking Or Camping

Again, why would you want to make your body go through a shit ton of dirt, dust, and sweat on a heating day?

16. Increasing Salt Intake

While bags of potato chips are your go-to on the first day of the period, according to experts, one should absolutely try to lower their salt intake. Salty foods make you bloat like anything, and no one wants that.

Putting an end to these 16 things will surely change your life, if not for the good, then definitely for the better.
