Contest: "Do you have any habits that you can't seem to break?"
Talk about chewing your nails, everyone will expect it too be actually an easy habit to quit.
Funny enough I started chewing my nails due to imitating this particular friend. At first it was for the fun of it and also for mocking her in the process.
How I eventually developed the habit seems totally unbelievable to me. Like I can sit down and chew my nails for hours without even realising it. I have finally succeeded in chewing the whole thing that I often pity my poor nails.
Indeed I have received quite a handful of lectures on how unhealthy this particular habit is but it's not like I would do abracadabra and the whole thing would finally stop.
I tried many ways to stop it, rubbing biter leaf on my hands, fixing nails and all other weird methods but it only made it worst. I guess realising how comfortable I am with it is the worst part.
It gets frustrating when you can't just stop probably like an addiction. I have decided to give up on quitting and just let it be.
Apart from it being unhygienic, the other disadvantages are not so huge. I never get to fix or paint my nails and my natural nails be looking some rat's leftovers.
Chewing my nails is probably even my least had to die habit. Talk about sleep talking.
Well, I haven't really seen this one for myself and I find it hard to believe.
Like how come I don't ever remember anything of it but my siblings and even my mom have confirmed it.
According to them when I'm fast asleep, I mumble incoherent nonsense. This one is even worst since I just can't think of a way to stop it.
Like how do I stop myself from sleep talking when I don't have the slightest idea of how or why I sleep talk in the first place but from the information I gathered, it could be as a result of stress and that I'm currently working on. Hopefully I don't blabber out important things or valuable secrets in the process.
These two are my most challenging habits yet. They maybe proving a little trying but I confidently believe that if I were to put in more effort and be intentional about it I might just realized that there aren't so difficult after all.
I guess that's why one's habit determines your success story. Stopping a bad habit and starting a good habit are two very challenging and important things but sadly often overlooked.
Writing this, I feel a certain kind of surge. Maybe I could really be intentional about this habits and quit them for good. Not that they are extremely terrible, like how bad is chewing your nails and sleep talking?
But I need to proof to myself that I'm in charge and responsible for every action I take and I change everything I want. Working on quitting some bad habits and starting some new ones.
Gosh! Can't believe I was just chewing my nails just now! Lol
Thank you @boylikegirl for this topic. I am inviting my friends; @uduak3287 , @basil20 and @spanky-dollar to participate.
Thanks for reading my post.
Hehehe...
you chew your nails? How come I've never realised this . Seems I'll start looking closer.
Well we both share the same bad habits, believe me they would go away eventually.
LoL..
I still hope they go away though.
