Breaking The Habit

"I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit Tonight"

These are the lyrics from one of the songs of linkin park.Me too have cultivated a habit.
I have started biting my nails ,it is that simple .And the funny thing is i didn’t even notice this for about a month. But now i realise how can a habit overpower our will.Now, i cant stop it and am getting scolded by my mom for this.
I can’t be living this way.You have a feeling that you are having the control of your mind and body but when you actually put it to a test you fail.That is the most awkward feeling anybody could ever have.
So,I’ve decided to dedicate the coming week for the eradication of this habit.I’ve referred a couple of books and got some ways.One of the ways is to keep a tag.That is ,a thing that will remember you to stick to your goals. It may be an elastic band on my wrist .I am supposed to  switch it from one hand to another ,in case i bite my nail.this would be a reminder of course.But i don’t prefer this.
Another nice trick is to slap or to pinch yourselves(may seem childish) whenever you get an impulse to take a bite of your nails.So, I hope these two tricks will do more than enough .
After accomplishing these goals i am damn sure that i will have a better control over myself.This will surely help me in reading whenever i want(which i don’t do now) and can aim at higher grades.It’s not that i do all this for achieving good marks.When you get control over yourselves you have an inner peace ,that is,you can feel happy when you really want to be happy.cut back your worries and live for today.That will take me and you in our journey to a happy life.

I really welcome all suggestions by my valuable 4 readers(including me) to increase self control.
