Use Self-hypnosis To Break The Nail Biting Habit

Filed under: Health — @ 2:10 am

Nail biting is related to skin picking and hair pulling. Skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting are labeled as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders or OCD. Nail biters often keep their hands behind their backs or in their pockets. Nail biters often feel shame and experience out-of-control feelings at times. At times they may wonder why they cannot stop biting and they may question whether or not they are crazy.

Nail biting often happens when nail biters are in one of two modes. Some do it in an automatic way, as if they are in some kind of altered state and not thinking about what they are doing. It’s often when they are involved in some other activity at the same time such as watching TV or working on the computer, etc. For others, the deliberate picking or biting is their main activity at the time, and they will often interrupt other activities to engage in it.

There is a strong commonality in the purposes behind these three problems (nail biting, skin picking and hair pulling). At a very basic level, they satisfy an urge. Many people report an uncontrollable compulsion to do them. Biting, picking or pulling also seems to deliver a pleasurable or relaxed sensation.

When sufferers feel stressed, pulling, picking or biting has a kind of soothing effect on them and reduces levels of stimulation. On the other hand, when they are bored or inactive, they seem to provide a needed level of stimulation to the nervous system. This probably accounts for why so many people who dislike doing them find it so hard to give them up. It simply “feels good” at the time no matter what the consequences.

Even if you have more than one of these problems, don’t give up on yourself. These compulsive behaviors can be overcome if you have the motivation. More important is learning to “de-stigmatize” yourself. You are not crazy, helpless, morally weak or totally out of control, even though you may feel like it at times. Once you become aware of the fact that you are just a person who simply happens to have a bad habit, you can make some serious progress.

Skin picking and nail biting are chronic problems, so there currently isn’t a “cure” but you can find a recovery if you are willing to work at it. Therapy for nail biting consists of three parts.

Hypnosis For People Who Bite Their Nails

First off, nail biting is a nervous habit. So the first part of the therapy is to teach the nail biter how to be more relaxed at all times. To that end, I believe that traditional hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques are usually effective. That’s because the very essence of hypnosis is relaxation. The individual can learn to apply several different methods to enhance both the relaxed state, as well as his/her overall feeling of relaxation and well-being.

The second part of the therapy teaches the individual to become aware of this unconscious habit. Post-hypnotic suggestions are generally given to the unconscious to make the consciousness aware that you are bringing your hand towards your mouth for the purpose of biting your nails. Then you get to consciously decide whether or not you are actually going to bite them.

There are several other powerful methods. As an example, we can help the client to set up an “Anchor” or trigger so that he/she can momentarily mentally step outside of him/herself. This is a powerful technique that will effectively relieve the urge.

The third part of the hypnotherapy is to eliminate the compulsion to bite. There are hypnotic methods that actually program the client with a compulsion to not bite.

With the nail biting behavior, being realistic is very important. In the first place, you have practiced the unwanted behavior hundreds or even thousands of times. You will need to accept that the compulsion to bite your nails will not be overcome in a few days.

Secondly, you are fighting the fact that it feels good to do, and it provides much short-range satisfaction and either stimulation or soothing feelings. It can take a little time to overcome, but I believe that it is well worth it. My experience has shown a number of methods to be extremely effective!

Fast Fasting and Detoxification: Not Always A Weight Loss Dream

Filed under: Health — @ 6:10 am

Centuries ago, before medicine, drugs, pharmaceuticals, and alcohol - often the culprits behind a human body that is unhealthy today and killing bodies from the inside - there was not nearly the need to detoxify and fast. As disgusting as this may sound, the human body usually is much stronger and capable than we give them credit to be, but its our own actions that lead to poisoning our bodily cells and unnecessarily suffering, robbing us of our life. Did you know that your body has an absolutely amazing ability to detoxify itself? It’s a fact and it’s a good thing too, because the majority of of us eat or absorb a seriously high amount of dangerous toxins and ingredients that in effect, poison your body, on a fairly regular basis.

If you eat healthy meals, are interested in pursuing a healthy living and you don’t smoke or drink alcohol in excess, your body is better equipped to clean out and cleanse, detoxify and get rid of the toxins - in fact, you may be completely clueless about the dangers that you are eating in your everyday diet - that you eat all day long: breakfast, lunch, dinner and all snacks or meals in between. If you are currently a smoker or your diet is largely made up of fast food, processed ingredients, artificial ingredients, international cuisine, foods from questionable environments, or the American favorite, junk food, your body is likely overtaxed and desperate for intervention.

Feeling tired constantly to the point you think you might have ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS’, you’re experiencing constant lapses of forgetting things, lack of focus, or maybe, you often are sick, catching a flu, susceptible to allergic reactions, and catch practically any virus that shows up where you work, you might very well need a health check-up, tune-up, some easy fasting and detoxification, the almighty cleanse or a quick body detox, or worse, you may need to have your health checked from head to toe.

People with such ailments certainly would benefit from learning about ways to detoxify your body.

Those who have adopted a regular routine of fasting and detoxification, either just one of the two or in combination, have testified to having more energy, a sharper mind, feeling better, boasting to their doctor with surprising turnarounds, but the benefits of fasting and detoxification are many, and there simply is not enough room to list them all here, in this arena.

True, there are a whole bunch of health benefits to going through a fast or body detox, but there are also side effects and to be honest, they can be deadly if you are not aware of this fact and ignore such ‘medical’, or health warnings. I’m not kidding. Many are quick to publish and print in health books, health forums, or health articles about fasting and detoxification benefits extracted straight from the news, often labeling it as the ultimate diet pill, or the magic bullet in a bottle, so to speak, that will remedy all symptoms, ailments and health problems from head to toe.

But, few even realize, perhaps why the supposed experts never bother to publish anything about the down side, or the dangers when completing or during a body detox - in all honesty, improper detoxification methods can lead to your death - killing you, just for clarification.

There are a lot of people unknowingly reporting that going through detoxification will eliminate anything and all problems. This one health article of many about fasting is only the beginning; a must have special report soon will be released and it will blow the roof off the myths most common to detoxification, cleansing and don’t forget the colon cleanse. Keep an eyeball out for it! (Or continue to be mislead).
