How to Break Bad Habits?

i never admit this to anyone (except my partner) but i’m anonymous so 🤷‍♂️ ever since i was little i picked my nose etc :/ i am now almost 21 and when i catch myself doing it i feel ashamed. part of me wants to stop but i don’t think it’s necessarily hurting me? i think it’s more about the fixation of cleanliness. i also pick skin/head :(

Therapy

I have a habit of pinching my skin when I'm nervous (does anyone else have this problem too?) but it gets better as time goes on. I still have some habits that are harder to stop, but since I've been taking anxiety meds, I've noticed that it's helped a little bit.

Finding other healthier alternatives to do instead of these behaviors you’ve mentioned above. Quitting cold turkey is never the answer. Maybe start patting your scalp instead? Sounds silly but the more you do it, the more mindful you’ll become of the behavior you are attempting to correct and eventually erase from your routine. Regardless, another behavior (a healthier one) must be introduced when eliminating one.
