Habit Breaking

[Zizzykitty]

Habit breaking is a relatively common new years resolution and even if you didn't make a resolution to break that bad habit, are there any you're trying to get rid of?



I thought of it becasue I'm a terrible nail biter. My nails were always short and ragged from me chewing on them. So I accidentaly discovered how to get myself to stop. I paint my nails. I had them painted for Homecoming back in September and I realized that I wasn't biting my nails at all with the nail polish on. I thought about it and also realized I have this paranoia that if I bite my nails with nail polish on I'll poison myself somehow. I know that is completely untrue but as long as it's stopping me from biting my nails I don't mind.

My favorite color to paint now them is metallic blue. At the moment I painted it over gunmetal gray so they're kind of blue-black.


The other bad habit I really need to get rid of is my procrastination. I'm a terrible procrastinator as well.

I still bite my nails once in a while but its not as bad as it was before. I did manage to stop chewing my hair years ago.

I'm terrible at procrastination......this year I'm going to try to manage my time better.

i seriously need to STOP feeding on food whenever im stressed out!!! AND stop procastinating and get work DONE BEFORE the LAST minute scream

Haha, looks like we all need to stop procrastinating.

When I'm stressed I can't eat though. Even if my stomach is hungry I look into the pantry or refridgerator and nothing appears appetizing. I actually feel kind of disgusted forcing myself to eat when I'm stressed and my stomach is hurting because I'm hungry.


I stopped chewing my hair when my grandfather's girlfriend told me chewing my hair was going to give me holes in my stomach. I have no idea how true that was since I've never researched it but when I was seven it scared me and I stopped then.

hah, i guess procrastinating keeps us human..

i never chew my hair. it just didnt occur to me...
the only time when im stress and im not eating is when im on the point of exasperation>.< or when im too sick or tired to-.-

When I was little I just did. I remember I liked doing it when I got out of the bath because I liked sucking the water out of it and I guess it just became a habit.


And that's bad. I was really sick once last year and I don't remember eating anything that weekend I was sick. I'm sure I did eat because I don't remember feeling hungry but I ate the minumum I could. I'm pretty laid back so I usually don't stress a lot either. I can tell I'm really stressed when I don't want to eat.

I also need to stop procrastinating.

I have another horrible habbit. Whenever I'm super pissed off, I always punch myself to relieve stress. I have a stress ball, but it's messed up because I stabbed it with a knife so many times.
I have bruises on my arms, legs, and probably my head. I just can't help it, I get so mad.

This year, my Habit Resolution was to actually say things because I wanted to say them. Not because someone else wanted me to or because it is the expected reaction. I also vowed to work more on my own happiness than other people's - a nasty habit to have.

I have to work on myself to make myself happy. When I am happy, everyone else around me will be Happy. I will no longer worry what other's think of me. I am smart and that is a good thing. I am tall and that is a good thing. I am thicker and that is a very good thing because I have curves when they don't smile

I've been working on that first one you said, saying things just because people expect me to say them rather than saying what I want. It's a tough habit to break once you've got it.
