One thing I'm trying to work on is breaking old habits,old
patterns.. many of the habits are nervous habits,I think... for
example,biting my nails. I stopeed biting my nails for 3 and a halph
weeks,but then I started biting them again... It's very hard for me to
stop,I always get a strong urge to start biting them... Also,not
talking to myself is a hard habit to break. Since I was a kid,I've
always had the habit of talking to myself out loud...I try not to do it
in public,but sometimes I'm not even aware I'm doing it... I remember a
friend in High school telling me I needed to stop talking to myself. I
wasn't even aware I was doing it in public...that's a tough habit to
break as well... I think I'm getting better at stopping certain habits
though... for example,for many years,I'd pull my hair out and eat the
hair...I finally managed to stop this habit,after many years,and a lot
of nagging about it... I also don't tear things such as napkins and
clothing up anymore,at least not often...
