Do you have any habit that you do not like and want to get rid of?

Yes my friend, I have a very very bad habit and it's because of my very low self esteem you see I have a bad habit of automatically putting myself down, if I can't do something I get frustrated and then I start blaming myself for being so useless especially if I see someone else doing it. Lately I have been at self defence classes and I cannot for the life of me get the kicking movements, all the guys that started the same time as me have mastered it and I am worried that the dan will get impatient with me and ask me because I am not getting it to leave or feel that it is not for me. I get so frustrated and angry with myself because I just can't do it right. So I put myself down. I always fortune tell with people and I automatically think that no one likes me so I don't even try to be friendly because if I do I know I will be rejected so I avoid people, I have lots of bad habits but they are all concerned with my low self esteem.

Yes I always find myself always helping other people out and for get about myself I wish I wouldn't do so much for other people.

All of us have some habits we may want to get rid off. Let us start with laziness. We always have an excuse to postpone doing some activity especially if if is bothersome. Secondly, it is the inability to hear others out. Before they can finish what they are trying to say,we butt in. We want to show that we are smarter and can also read minds!Thirdly, it is showiness-flaunting our wealth as if your friends should care!

I talk to myself sometimes,so I can remember stuff that I need to do
,and sometimes I can see the way some people look at me because they
probably think that I'm crazy. I need to stop doing this in public. Ha Ha.

Aside from chatting to myself as I mentioned to Mirita, I have the bad habit of not eating healthy foods and automatically going for what I like no matter what it is instead of making healthier choices. Oh...I need to exercise more too!

I am a very very thorough person, a compulsive perfectionist, you can say. This makes me lose many of the life's good moments. Even though, I have improved a lot since I realised this, I think more has to be done. I try my best to unload my baggage in office and be sort of free at home and vice versa. But sometimes I feel, this is therapeutic as well. My urge to do stuffs spot on and accomplishing it give me an undefined happness. Still I miss out on many good moments. I am working on it and hopefully will overcome it soon.

What about you Bala?

hmmm.. pretty open and shut case here.. I have habits but I am not so sure I want to get rid of them

Seriously. I do have this habit of rubbng my thumb against the edge of my nail on my middle finger when I am nervous or stressed.. weird, eh??
Perhaps it is my bodies way of lessening the stress? I would prefer NOT to do it in public I suppose, so no one would notice, but I fear it is probably too late for that.. HAdn't you noticed this in me before???

yes I have a bad habit that I know I need to quit and want to quit but I just cant
I have tried many times to quit but I keep going back to the same habit
there is something in my brain telling me that I HAVE to have it and I cant seem to reprogram my brain to function without it

Mine would be procrastination. I just have this kind of thinking that Ill enjoy today and dedicate everything to the task at hand tomorrow and the rest of the month, or year, or forever, if that would take forever, or at least until the deadline is up. So with projects and things I tend to put them off for the next day. Im just too aware of the time. I mean, Im fully aware of the deadline of a project and when I see that I still have time, then Ill use that time to enjoy myself. I do plan though, I mean when the deadline is very close I schedule the tasks that needed to be done and allot a specific time and number of hours for that. In that way I will not go crazy cramming over it too much.

That kind of thing does work for me, and I havent failed to submit a requirement just because I was putting it off. At the very end of it, I dont know how, but I seem to get things done, just in the nick of time. The quality of work isnt also compromised. I do like to think that I do my best work when Im cramming. Its just the training that I had during high school. We had so little time to enjoy, so enjoy that free hour while we still can, then work on the project the whole week.

As long as it still works for me, it should be fine right? But I still might want to decrease the amount of time that I do put off. Well, it would really be just up to me to get rid of that, if I truly really absolutely wanted to.. sigh.

I have a very wacky habbit of smelling or sniffing whatever I eat before I eat it. It was fine when I was little but now it seems weird and its hard to explain to people why I do it. Now thats because I don't even know exactly why I do it. I definitely have to get rid of it.
