Nail Biting Cure: More Stress Cutting Tips So You Can Stop Nailbiting

If stress is one of your triggers for nail biting, I've got some more ideas for decreasing stress in your life.

1. Eat Healthy. Many foods actually have effects on our emotions. Some will increase calm and others will increase your stress level.

Foods high and sugar will make life a little more stressful. While protein rich foods like turkey will increase the feeling of calm. Healthy eating is important. Setting up a healthy diet can increase optimal health for each one of us. A healthy diet can help even out the up and down spiral of stress in your life.

2. Stay in touch with friends. Have at least one friend you can call to vent when life gets crazy. Make sure you choose a friend that is willing to listen and not "tell" you what to do and judge you.

3. Create the Zen mindset. Make an island of calm in your life. This place is somewhere you can mentally escape. This way you can take a break and travel in your mind. It's a great place to travel to when everything in your life is piling up.

4. Laugh. Sometimes when stress gets high we forget to laugh. Grab a funny movie at the video store. Google some funny jokes or videos. Steer clean of the gloom and doom.

Nail Biting Treatment: Can't Stop Nail Biting Because Of Stress? Try These Tips

Stress today is a given part of life. Frequently stress ripples over and people end up biting their fingernails.

It's easy to understand. Juggling family, career, home and church, it all adds up to an increased pace of life. With this almost frantic pace, increased stress levels can be a natural result.

Stress can impact many areas of life such as work, family, and other relationships. Stress can cause one to experience irritability, impatience, and distractions. For busy people, stress management is a necessity. Here are four tips to assist in living a more stress free life.

1. Determine, no matter what, to create time for yourself. So often people make time for others, but don't take time for themselves. The activity really doesn't matter as long as you take some time for yourself.

2. Listen to calm, soothing music on the way to work, while at work, and while going to sleep. Music has a way of calming and soothing the mind and the body.

3. Practice deep abdominal breathing periodically throughout the day.
Rest your hand on your belly button. Breath in deeply through the nose pulling the belly button toward the spine, hold for a few seconds, and then slowly release. You will be pleasantly surprised at how this simple technique can result in a more relaxed body and mind. This can be done anywhere and anytime.

4. Take time to exercise. Exercise helps to increase self-esteem, decrease depression, increase concentration and energy, and gives one a greater sense of control over stress. Hitting the local gym is not always necessary. Taking a 15-minute walk around the neighborhood, taking walks on lunch breaks, taking the steps instead of an elevator, and parking farther away when shopping are examples of how you can squeeze in exercise during the day.

Your nail biting cure may come as a result of decreasing your stress.
