If you have a nail biting habit, take a few seconds to read the following factual consequences of nail biting to remind yourself why you should Seriously Commit To Quitting.
1. Nail biting causes you the shame feelings and unconfidence when you need to show or shake your hands.
2. Biting nails usually leads to harmful effects on the fingers including infections and nail deformation. The more you bite your nails, the shorter your nails become.
3. Even your nails look clean, they still have a lot of bacterias buried under the surface of the nails. When you bite your nails or swallow the small piece of bitten-off nails, you might have problems with your stomach or the pinworms can occasionally develop.
4. Nail biting is also bad for your oral health, as your teeth may start chipping or breaking. In addition, germs in your fingers could infect your gums, causing bad breath.
ARE YOU READY TO STOP BITING YOUR NAILS?
The following tips will show you how to smoothen your path:
1. Be less stressful
Sometimes, nail biting is just because you are nervous, anxious or have stress. So please put your hands down, take a deep breath, heat up your palms to massage your eyes then relax.
2. Be busy
Keep your hands and mouth busy to give the nail biting energy another place to go. For instance: a stress ball, a worry stone, a pen to click, or chewing gum.
3. Pamper your hands
Take care of your nails and your hands to make them look good and make you satisfy. Regularly soften your hands with cream, vaseline or essential oils. Transform your short nails into beautiful longer nails to make you proud of your nails, and confident with your hands.
4. Apply bitter-taste
To prevent yourself from putting your fingers in your mouth, you can apply a bitter-tasting nail polish coat or tiger balm to the entire nails. The horrific flavor will make you think twice before biting.
5. Be patient
Be patient, reward yourself on days you had success. You deserve it. Don't be too hard on yourself on the days that you didn't. Keep trying!
6. Tell a friend about your nail biting habit
If you have a tendency to bite your nails without actually being aware of it, you should share this issue with your lovely friends. They can remind you to stop and keep you on track.
