Before I start talking about my very gross habit - the only one I'm really not sure I'll be able to replace with the habit of not doing it - I'm very pleased to announce that I posted my ebay items. It all makes me a tad nervous, but mainly just proud that I finished that item on my projects list.
Anyway, I've talked about daily habits and weekly habits, but how about an every-five-minutes-habit that will likely take me weeks to shake / replace with a new habit? How about I have no idea what I'll replace this gross habit with?
I'm talking about picking at the skin around my nails. I just can't stop; it's a near-constant nervous habit. I don't bite or pick at the nails, mind you, just the skin. It is all torn up, you guys. To the point that even manicurists are like, omg gross when they see it.
In the past, I've tried battling this with keeping my actual nails very pretty and polished. They look so nice that I want to look at them rather than pick at the skin surrounding them. This has never worked longterm, however, because the upkeep is not a good habit of mine, plus my work requires them to be chip-free if polished, yet the work itself makes it almost impossible to keep them in that state.
I think in this case I just have to bite the bullet and be determined to keep them pretty and polished, even if that means nightly care to keep them nice for work. It's the only thing that's worked in the past, and experience has shown that the only flaw was my own laziness, so that's what I can correct. Right? Right. Maybe just working on my nails can be what replaces picking the skin as a habit.
