When we try to fight our bite habit, we need practical advice that can be easily applied without the need to put forth much effort.
Whether we bite them because of anxiety, anger, or frustration, we make it unconscious.
Not knowing something makes war difficult, and only practical advice can do the job.
Wait as much as you canAlways keep your fingernails close. As you notice that your nails have become even longer, cut them. Every little part of the fingernail should be expected not to get bit!
Place bandages on your fingers: If you can't control yourself to stop eating then put a bandage on your finger, you won't see them.
Find activities to keep hands busy: This can change from person to person. We all have different hobbies, so it's good to think of using them as a defense mechanism.
Create illustrations, paint, weave, or simply fold your clothes, put your hands in your pockets.
Keep your mouth busy: will be of great help when it comes to avoiding the bite of nails.
You'll see that after some time, the impulse to bite your nails will disappear. Start chewing gum and eating candy or mint.
