A Habit that I need help with

Najay

I have been biting my nails since I can remember. It is a nervous habit I have and hate. It is a habit that I will be putting to rest in 2012. Any ideas to help me stop?

They sell nail polish that tastes like crap when you bite them. I worked for me!!

I am along term nail biter, but I have stopped at times - get some emery boards, nail buffers etc, and when you are sitting and normally bite your nails, use the emery boards / buffers instead, it gives you something to do other than bite them. Keep the nails short becasue I find if they get a bit long it makes it more tempting to bite them. Get some clear nail varnish and paint your nails - antything to make a new habit.

I learned to stop biting my nails, by sitting on my hands, putting my hands in my pockets or putting my hands behind my back every time I noticed myself biting them . This took a while but it worked. I now have great nails. Good luck

Get an expensive manicure.
