What this is all about


Making everyday life experiences and activities (that may either be mundane or taken for granted) and adding a challenge to them.
It's about pushing comfort zones, learning new things and adapting to change.

#2 - Save the nails

Challenge: Not biting my nails.

I've tried to quit this habit multiple times, but I can never get past a few days. I can say I successfully made it more than a week on this challenge (8 days) and then I fell apart. It was quite the snowball effect.




Learnings
1. It's unbelievable how many times I put my hands up to my face as if it were like blinking or breathing. It had to be like every 5-10 minutes and then I would remember that I have a challenge to conquer. Habits are hard not to bite.
2. It felt really good to be able to open things, like pop cans, without having to use an object to pry it up. The scratching capabilities of nails are also amazing. Nails come in handy more than just for biting.

I will continue to fight the good fight on this one.

NEXT WEEK'S CHALLENGE: STAIRMASTER

    I go in phases where I can stop biting nails for months at a time and then it just starts up again and I can't stop it.

    I CAN'T STOP IT!!!!
