The problem of gnawed nails, oddly enough, is relevant not only for young children and schoolchildren, but it can be very cool to spoil the mood of completely adults. This bad habit turns nails into ugly gnawed stumps, often not only unaesthetic, but also inflamed. Not to mention the fact that an adult who bites his nails in public looks ugly and immediately seems to those around him weak and defenseless. How do you get rid of this childhood habit?
Necessary
Bitter-tasting nail polish, pepper, soap, quinine, plaster
Instructions
Step 1
A person bites his nails not because the process itself gives him pleasure. In this way he calms down or tries to concentrate. The main reason is psychological, therefore, it is necessary to get rid of this habit with the help of psychological methods. Pay attention to the situations in which you start biting your nails: when you are nervous or tired, or maybe when you have nothing to do and you are annoyed about it? You try to switch your attention away from the problem and pull your hand to your mouth … Try to monitor your condition and every time you notice that your nails are near your lips, stop yourself. Of course, this is simply impossible to do. You need endurance, patience and willpower, but if you persist and carefully observe yourself, it will become much easier for you to control your condition.
Step 2
It also happens that the moment of awareness comes when it’s too late - your legs crunched and again turned into ugly gnawed stumps. Especially for such cases, proven children's remedies for the habit of pulling a finger into the mouth have been invented. Smear your nails and fingertips with something bitter and horribly unpalatable. For these purposes, ordinary soap, some kind of cream or gel with a medicine that has a disgusting taste, or any other mixture that comes into your head is suitable. By the way, nowadays, pharmacies and perfumery stores sell nail polishes designed specifically for children and their parents who love to bite their nails. After you feel the taste of this varnish in your mouth, you will not want to stick your finger in there anymore.
Step 3
The method is suitable for women. Visit a beauty salon and spare the money for a quality nail extension. This procedure is not cheap, but with one shot you will kill several birds with one stone. First, significantly improve the exterior of your poor gnawed toes, giving them a neat and well-groomed look. And, secondly, the amount spent on a manicure will spin in your head every time you have a familiar desire to feast on a marigold. False nails, by the way, are not so tasty and less interesting to gnaw, besides, the pleasure is far from free.
