    It can be anything from biting your nails or hitting the snooze button too often! Mine is silly, but I have an addiction to Q-tips, and I use them every day. To the point where I have caused myself multiple ear infections, but I just don't quite. Today is day one of trying to break it! Lol

    Last year I had ear infection (swimmer's ear) and ended up visiting ENT Specialist. He scared me straight regarding the real danger of Q-Tips. I was really digging around with them. They can cause some real damage.

    Proof? I believe you; no need to share.

    Wasting time (procrastinating) instead of just getting things done. It's not even a matter of laziness. I think it's an anxiety thing. Perfectionism - fear of screwing up a project keeps you from moving forward with it. But I just need to tell myself that good enough is good enough. Just get it done, even if it's not perfect! :s

    Same here on the Q-tips, made my ear swell up one time and couldnt hear out of it for a week. I'm currently day two quitting smoking beer. Sucks.

    Overthinking and being a people pleaser. Need to keep telling myself that I can't please everyone and need to stop worrying so much!

    Biting my nails is another one

    Oh over thinking and people pleasing. I need to cut this out too. People are always using me and taking advantage of my good nature. Ugh. If you figure out how to stop, let me know!!!!

    • Picking the skin on the sides of my thumb (the part either side of the nail). It's a nervous habit that I almost always do without realising, and when I look down the skin is bleeding :/
    • Mindless eating. Using unhealthy foods as a reward.
    • Resisting the urge to stay up past bedtime.
