couldve made it shorter

basically your point is that, instead of focusing on pimples focus on your hand or wtv else place. ok, but personally id get bored from just focusing on hand like that, if not first time then next time for sure. picking involves action kinda, in which u then relief that stress or just need of expressing habbit, but this is just, u sit n stare at your hands or wtv, so idk..

and wouldnt work with unaware/automatical picking anywayz.

and idea is just to replace picking habbit with something else, well ok its this focusing thing for u then, but lets see how long it gonna work for u...

Yeahs that's kinda how it works


I know. It is kinda beta. I'm not sure if it works for the term. But The time I used it, and even last night it was very effective for me.

As soon was I diverted my inner bodily awareness from this zit on my arm into another part of my body it helped alot and made me able to stop myself.

'unaware/automatical' Interesting. I never have this. But I think if you catch yourself and put your inner bodily focus somewhere els it may help or work the same way. .

So anyway. I'm on day 3? I think (:

P.s . It's interesting to note people who are stressed have a heightened awareness of the bad aspect of their life and a diminished awareness for the good. I think this is why we pick when we are stressed. We Focus on the pimples the same way we focus on everything els that's bad, or feel more aware of them.

for unaware picking helps only gloves. at least for me.

not all ppl who r constantly stressed are esp aware of negative sides aand not allways everyone has good to be aware of either. in any way main thing in overcoming picking is just breaking the habbit is what i think, thats all.

Do you really think that's possible tho?. Ive never found anyone that have broken the habit. Have you ever been to skinpick.com ?. I have read so many post and there is like 1 Person out of like over a thousand that was able to stop

This sounds kinda odd haha but my therapist said I most likely was... I don't know the word... is it picker? Well I'm not sure I always thought acne was my problem but I always come out of the bathroom after squeezing the life out of every slightly clogged pore I see and I come out with my face all lumpy with welts and what not. How bad is that?

Well I just turned 15 so Ill make it a resolution to stop if it is bad I suppose. Obviously if I see something well unhealthy... like clearly a pustule and what not then I can get rid of that but I just want to stop picking at my pores. I just want to smile and not have white dots every where. Yuck.

I watched the video and the energy thing concept very interesting. Unless Im on my period, I don't tend to have big breakouts. Luckily my skin has gotten MUCH better after taking doxy and adapalene but my biggest issues are the pores that are clogged. Just thinking about the white dots under my skin right now made a jolt through my body and I wanted to run to the bathroom. Uh oh. Ironically enough, when my face starts looking better I usually ruin it by picking at something that could become a zit. Probably because I'm paranoid or something

Anyway Im brand spanking new to this since I never really considered picking as my problem... so well where should I go from here?

Thanks!
