Self Help Book For Nail Biting Adults by Asanka S Jayarathne Pdf

DISCLAIMER This self-help book about nail-biting is NOT for people those who are pessimists, blaming the worlds for their own problems, believing some products inside a plastic bottle will solve the problem, and have NO courage or the self-discipline to follow explained Easy STEP-BY-STEP: mind hacks learned and applied by the author to cure the nail biting habit. Two things only matter, Are you biting your nails? Or NOT? We will NOT talk about nail biting bitter/deterrent products. Trust me, you don't need them! We are going to learn necessary "information" about nail-biting, which you are lacking to "cure" the habit. We are going to be our own therapist. This is a self-help book. You don't need any external therapy or anyone except this book to cure the habit. We are going to learn the science and particularly, "Laws" behind nail-biting. Then they can be used against the habit. Not only for nail-biting, also for other associated habits as well. Universal laws can't be altered, but of course, habits/addictions can. We are treating the cause. NOT the effect. So this book will "Cure" your nail-biting habit if you follow the steps correctly. All chapters are interactive and practical in the order I have followed. So you can follow the steps as you read each chapter. Why I am saying this? This is science. Because I did it. I did it fast, easily and TOTALLY. What do you need to do? Makeup your mind to be daring about nail-biting. And start reading. Follow and apply mind tricks, explained EXACTLY in the book, and start talking to your subconscious mind. Stop trying hard, dwell, and force or fight yourself. If you do so, nail-biting will fight you back and IT WILL ALWAYS WIN. You need to self-help a little before tapping to overcome any habit. This book will provide you with loads of additional information about self-help. Overview By reading this book, you are getting help from someone who already overcome nail-biting. On repeated use of this book, you will gradually think and go as a "NONE" nail-biter. 1. The initial stage (This is the stage I have applied mind hacks learned as a student of the mind). 2. The interim (Challenging encounters I faced and explained how to be subtle with your urges for nail-biting). 3. Finale stage ("After results" This is explaining how I cured myself and go as a NON nail-biter.) Once you read this book, you will realize how much negative thoughts we carry such as anxiety, fear, insecurity, even "depression" and how those mental states feed nail-biting! Researches state that our nail-biting habit has no definite reason for beginning it, other than it is a habit gradually created through as we bite our fingers and nails for a relief. In the concerned part, researchers state that nail-biting is another sign of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) as they explain this is additionally an impulsive habit that the individuals know about the habit, but they can't stop it deliberately.

I have been a victim of chronic nail-biting for more than three decades and was looking desperately a way out of it. So I was trying almost all the remedies, treatments, Etc., but they all ended up giving me no hope. Only a typical nail-biter would know how desperate, helpless and frustrating the feeling is when looking at their fingernails. It All Happened With A Story By the fall of the year 2016, I was inspired and fascinated by watching the movie "The Secret", then I started to dig deep in to the core concepts of the teachings of the movie made by a team of self-help teachers, particularly Mr. Bob Proctor's teachings who is the best and the last living legacy of Mr.Napolean Hill, the author of the most valuable book ever written in all times, "Think And Grow Rich".

Not the "cause". We need to tap the cause of our nail-biting habit and treat it from there. Definitely not the effect! That is why we need to access our "subconscious mind" which makes us biting our nails. So this book explains how to access our subconscious mind through techniques learned by myself (Nail biting treatment for both children under year eight to any adults) using, Knowledge and Awareness Visualization techniques and Laws.

Stop Your Nailbiting! Permanently by Gilbreth Brown Pdf

This book provides the definitive cure for adult problem nail biting. The information and the technique supplied in this book offer effective, well-documented, and permanent relief from this frustrating habit. By reading this book, habitual nail biters can finally and permanently free themselves from the habit. It is the goal of this book to spread the message that life can be free from the pain and embarrassment caused by unsightly and unattractive finger nails and hands. This book starts by carefully describing and defining the habit. There is more to this than many realize, and nail biters will benefit greatly by the information contained here. The knowledge and insight in this section form the foundation for beginning the journey to long, healthy and gorgeous nails. For example, many habit owners do not realize that nail biting is actually a two step habit. Both steps must be recognized and treated for the habit to be completely eradicated. The habit frequently also rears up unconsciously, and so the book also provides an effective tool for recognizing and altering unconscious behavior. Many questions are answered here and misconceptions about nail biting are discussed in detail and debunked. After carefully defining the habit, the book then delves into why habitual nail biters pursue their habit. Incidentally, stress is rarely the cause of problem nail biting. Nail biting patterns that are frequently seen are then also discussed in detail. Reading about themselves in print will reassure nail biters that they are not alone in the world. Incidentally, research data indicates that the habit is wide spread across nationalities, age groups, and demographics. All of this information results in a powerful understanding of the habit. Many readers state that this understanding alone helps them to significantly reduce or even eliminate their nail biting problem. However, sometimes information alone is not enough. So then, contained in the book is an ingenious and almost perfect cure to the habit. Described in the book is a simple to perform but highly effective technique for stopping nail biting. Many people who have tried the approach mention that they simply cannot believe how effective the cure is at permanently and efficiently treating their nail biting. Internalizing the information in the book and applying the technique described results in a very powerful therapeutic combination. Even long term habitual nail biters need just several weeks to completely and permanently break their habit. Some readers have even reported success just after several days. Once cured, the habit rarely resurfaces. Curing the habit increases self confidence and self esteem considerably. After detailing the cure, the book provides documented and real case stories of notable successes with the treatment method. Case histories, pictures and testimonials are posted frequently on the book's accompanying web site http://www.stopyournailbiting.com. Readers are invited to browse there at will and watch the anonymous and free forum discussion board to learn more. To complete the loop, the book details why other methods of nail biting habit control are not as effective or easy as the cure discussed. Many nail biters have tried various approaches to curing the habit. Such attempts often end in disappointment and frustration. The use of spicy creams and foul tasting lotions as a treatment option is addressed. Readers will learn that bad tasting lotions are not effective for nail pickers for obvious reasons. Finally, the book discusses children, and provides tips and tricks for working with children nail biters. The cure's application to other similar ailments (cheek biting, hair pulling, and joint cracking) is discussed and readers are welcome to post tips onto the free web site forum for the benefit and well being of others.

How to Heal Your BFRB by Lauren I. Ruiz Bloise Pdf

Maybe you’ve encountered tips on how to stop in the past. While they probably helped, they never took you all the way. How to Heal Your BFRB teaches you why you weren't healing before and, more important, how to start healing now. Almost no time will be spent on what a body-focused repetitive behavior is, or who tends to have one. You know what a BFRB is, you have one or a few, and you just want to stop. While you may even have come to believe healing isn’t possible, it’s absolutely possible for you to overcome your BFRB. For seventeen years, author Lauren I. Ruiz Bloise compulsively skin-picked before developing these four steps, which she later learned correlate with proven body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) treatments. That said, this guide is simple, not medical or academic. Despite the complicated names for these disorders (excoriation, dermatillomania, trichotillomania, onychophagy, dermatophagia), How to Heal Your BFRB is a reader-friendly guide that walks you through concrete steps so you can feel in control rather than desperate, confident rather than ashamed—so your hair, skin, or nails can be nicer, clearer, and fuller. Join others who are already healing. Take the chance. After all, How to Heal Your BFRB is more affordable than (or about as affordable as) one high-quality skin or hair care product, only it’s much more beneficial than even the best beauty product you can buy. This Ebook Is for You If… • You have dermatillomania (skin picking), trichotillomania (hair pulling), onychophagia (nail biting or chewing), dermatophagia (skin biting or chewing), or any other disorder in the long list of compulsive BFRBs. • You target blemishes (zits, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, milia), ingrowns, and the like. • Or you target hairs (on head, lashes, brows, beard); nails, fingers, cheeks, feet, scalp, nose, eyes; or something else. • You’ve tried over and over to stop, to no avail. • You’ve covered mirrors, used gloves, downloaded apps, or marked a calendar, among many other things. • You’re unsure why you do it. • Or you have an idea why you pick, pull, or chew, but you still haven't been able to heal to a meaningful extent. While How to Heal Your BFRB is intended to be followed by teens and adults who have a BFRB, if your family member (child, partner, parent) or friend has a BFRB, you are welcome to download and read it. The more you know about how people are overcoming these behaviors, the more you can help and support them. Even if you have made progress on your own, or encountered treatments for how to stop picking or pulling already, let How to Heal Your BFRB give you new insights and further healing, as well as encouragement. How to Heal Your BFRB is not about anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), addiction to substances or alcohol, or any of the other mental health conditions related to body-focused repetitive behaviors, but it’s understood that you may have one or more of these disorders too. To make recovery easier, you're highly encouraged to address any of these alongside reading the book, and thereafter. That said, all are welcome! *** “Wow, I know a book can only do so much, but yours exceeded my expectations. A lot! I came away with: · Confidence that I can be in control of my BFRB health (and other areas of my health) · More acceptance of myself · Tools and guidance to help me take better care of myself · The desire and motivation to experience the 3 items above "It was about more than healing a BFRB. There were several points where I was moved by the caring messages you conveyed. You were talking to and caring about ME.”—Teresa G., Vermont

Dan Nails It! the End of Nail Biting by Vered Kaminsky Pdf

"Dan had been biting his nails for as long as he could remember. It began at night time with his mother saying goodnight to him and turning off the light; he felt alone in his big, darkroom.As he grew older and he felt a little nervous or agitated, like at the beginning of the school year, his nails would always make their way into his mouth. In the beginning, Dan's thumbnail was his favorite to chew. However, once he was finished chewing that nail and there was nothing left of it, he would move onto the rest of his fingernails. Slowly but surely, he would bite another fingernail, or even two. By the time he was 10-years old, every single fingernail of his had been completely bitten off. One day Dan realized that his habit was a vicious circle that he was not able to break. He did not want to bite his nails, yet it provided him with comfort and soothed him. Feeling disappointed and discouraged with himself, he turned to his mother for help....""...Dan's mother knew that the first step to helping Dan break his habit was for him to really want it himself. "First, in order for you to stop biting your fingernails, you have to really, really want to break the habit, and then we can start to build a plan. When you really, truly want to, let me know!" she told Dan, walking away. Dan said, "I have made up my mind. I want to get rid of this bad habit of mine. I want to. I really want to!" And so together, Dan and his mother decided on a special plan to help Dan break his nail-biting habit. Dan's mother suggested, "We will divide the next two weeks into a plan of action, just as if you were training for a running competition. The first step is for you to define what your goal is and write it down.""Ok, well my goal is simple. I want to stop biting my fingernails," Dan explained to his mother, and she grinned. Seeing her grin, Dan added, "Ok, well maybe it's not so simple, but I can do it... but I can do it."The story leads the readers to Dan's world, where he is dealing with a nail-biting habit. The story gives the children and the parents an operative way to get rid of the nail-biting habit.

Broken Horses by Brandi Carlile Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, producer, and six-time Grammy winner opens up about faith, sexuality, parenthood, and a life shaped by music in “one of the great memoirs of our time” (Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed). NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND AUTOSTRADDLE • “The best-written, most engaging rock autobiography since her childhood hero, Elton John, published Me.”—Variety Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, fourteen times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood. As an openly gay teenager, Brandi grappled with the tension between her sexuality and her faith when her pastor publicly refused to baptize her on the day of the ceremony. Shockingly, her small town rallied around Brandi in support and set her on a path to salvation where the rest of the misfits and rejects find it: through twisted, joyful, weird, and wonderful music. In Broken Horses, Brandi Carlile takes readers through the events of her life that shaped her very raw art—from her start at a local singing competition where she performed Elton John’s “Honky Cat” in a bedazzled white polyester suit, to her first break opening for Dave Matthews Band, to many sleepless tours over fifteen years and six studio albums, all while raising two children with her wife, Catherine Shepherd. This hard-won success led her to collaborations with personal heroes like Elton John, Dolly Parton, Mavis Staples, Pearl Jam, Tanya Tucker, and Joni Mitchell, as well as her peers in the supergroup The Highwomen, and ultimately to the Grammy stage, where she converted millions of viewers into instant fans. Evocative and piercingly honest, Broken Horses is at once an examination of faith through the eyes of a person rejected by the church’s basic tenets and a meditation on the moments and lyrics that have shaped the life of a creative mind, a brilliant artist, and a genuine empath on a mission to give back.

Things You Think About When You Bite Your Nails by Amalia Andrade Pdf

“Relatable and comforting and challenging all at once. Don’t be afraid to read this book.” —Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy A funny and wise guide and workbook for conquering fears, from the existential to the everyday, and defeating the monster those fears can become: anxiety This is a book about fear. About how it works, how it takes hold over us, and how it dogs us from childhood (the monsters under the bed) to adulthood (careers, relationships, accidentally sending that risky text to the wrong person--all the things that make us want to bite our nails). But this is also a book about that monster our fear can warp into when it grows too powerful, a phenomenon we are all too familiar with and that more and more of us are struggling against: anxiety. Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade had her own battle with anxiety, and not only did she make it out the other side, she learned sometimes it's the very thing that almost sinks you that can save you. Through the lessons, exercises, and often hilarious personal stories Amalia shares in these pages, together you will learn how to make those feelings your friends and turn your fears into superpowers.
