Habits You Know You Should Quit
Got a bad habit that you know you should quit but can't? I do! I have lots, but have I really attempted to stop them? Not really. Why quit them in January for some stupid resolution when you can TRY to stop them now. What are your habits? Good or bad doesn't matter, They're still habits.
Smoking for WAY too Long
Ok, so I’ve been smoking for way too long. It all began when I first turned 18. Yes, at least I was of the legal age. Six years later, I’m still puffin’ and loving every minute of this slow suicide. Why do it? Well, I crave one before work, after work, on the way to work, at home, after eating…etc.
I want to stop by the time I’m 100 years old. Maybe I’ll quit tomorrow.
Shopping Constantly
Personally, I don’t really have this problem because I never have any money to go shopping with. But I have friends and even clients who go shopping constantly and actually need to go to therapy for it. Sheesh! I can’t imagine being addicted to shopping, but I guess it’s possible.
A Little OCD
DON’T STEP ON THE CRACKS OR YOU’LL BREAK YOU’RE MOTHER’S BACK!
I think I’m a little OCD. I have to wash my hands constantly throughout the day, especially after I ride public transportation. I also can’t step on cracks, and I have to have my clothes hung in a specific place in the closet. I’m not that bad! Just a little OCD.
Way Too Much TV
If you are one of these people who watches A LOT of TV do what I did and just get rid of it. I don’t watch any TV now, only movies. I invested in a projector so I am not tempted to watch that horrible box with loud commercials and makes the brain turn to mush.
Put the junk food away too. No good. No good.
Dry Weather Nose Picker!
Listen, Colorado is a dry dry dry weather zone, and when you see people picking their nose when they are driving… you better not critique them, because you will probably be doing it on the next block. You pick here because you have to, but I wish I didn’t! I miss humidity!
CEREAL BINGING
OH MAN. If there’s a box in the house, I will eat th entire thing and then consume more than enough calories for an entire week. Not to mention go into a sugar coma. Gross.
Drinking and Partying WAY too much
After a long day at work, who doesn’t like to come home and relax with a nice cold beer or glass of Merlot? I do! I do! All the time! Just at night though. I am no alcoholic, but I should probably limit myself to just one glass of wine a night instead of a whole bottle.
Sucking Thumb Since Birth
Ok, I’m not gunna lie. It’s pretty tasty. Yes, it’s the left one (that one is the best). I actually quit sucking my thumb when I was about 9 years old. However, to this day I still enjoy an occasional thumb. This one should have been discarded LONG ago!
Too Much Phone Talking
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That is all I hear and probably all the person on the other line hears. Give it up! Put down the phone and talk to yourself for a change. In all honesty that’s really what you’re doing. Try starting a journal or blogging. I guess that’s my release.
Spending waaaaaaaaay too much time online
I used to read. Like, books. Magazines. Things I could hold. Do you think I’ve cracked a book open yet this year? No ma’am.
All because of the gosh dang internet. Between all my blog reading, online shopping, and freelance work, you’d think my laptop was permanently adhered to my thighs. It’s ridiculous. I absolutely need to curb my web use and do things like paint and decorate (rather than reading about it online). Boo!

Cookie Binging
I have such a sweet tooth! My biggest dessert weakness is probably cookies. I’ve been known to eat 10 in a sitting, and cookie dough? Another weakness! I’m a baker, which is a dangerous thing to be because it means I can have cookies any time I want, without having to leave my apartment.
I'm addicted to Coke.
Seriously. I can’t stop drinking it. Even weaning myself with the lil’ baby 100 calorie cans doesn’t work! I have a serious problem.
Nose Picking...or just a way of living?
I know that picking your nose can be a bit unnerving to those around you, but, c’mon! There’s no way a stupid tissue can hack it compared to a trusty forefinger. I fact, I’d be willing to bet that the tissue only works due to this “phalangal manipulation”; there is no nasal tissue that hasn’t been aided by a finger or two during the process of digging for gold.
So, I wonder…can we as a collective society get over the fact that picking your nose is not only essential to daily comfort and grooming, but also an incredibly effective way of “nipping the booger in the butt” quickly, and often silently, without the need to waste trees in the process?
I think so. And I do it. Often.
Thanks for the great guide!
Picking at your fingernails
My nails might look like this someday if I don’t stop. I think I pick at my nails in my sleep—its that bad. Icky!
