So, I'm attempting to stop biting my nails for the second time. I'm, unfortunately, one of those people who can't stop through sheer will power alone, so I'm using some nasty ass nail polish called No Bite It (I guess, it has "Bite It" with one of those "no" rings around it, so I'm assuming that's what it's called.)
Have you ever broken yourself of a bad habit? Are you like me and need some added outside help? |

It's better to give yourself incentives rather than punishment. Figure out why you bite your nails (out of anxiety, for example), and start from there. You can also try improvement behaviors like chewing gum; I heard from quite a few that using gum as a replacement is pretty effective. No Bite It polish should help, too. You can do it!
 As for me, I struggle with perfectionism. Oftentimes, the measures are ridiculous and ultimately bothersome. Perhaps they explain my lack of sleep as well. Everyone has their respective habits. Change is possible; motivation helps. |
