This list makes you look nervous.

Unless you stop it…

//thread//

- Biting your fingernails

- Talking too fast

- Shaking leg/Tapping foot

- Chewing pens/straws

- Avoiding eye contact

- Touching/Twirling Hair

- Grinding teeth/clinching jaw

~~ Don't read more if you don't do these ~~

I bit my fingernails for 20 years.

First baby picture? I’m biting my nails.

I stopped completely with 2 steps.

1. Notice it.

See yourself doing it
Catch yourself in the act
Do this once & you’re aware

- Catch yourself grinding your teeth [relax your jaw].
- Catch yourself tapping your foot [place foot flat on the ground].

Beat it. Just once.

2. Replace It.

It's easier to replace than remove

Talking to fast in conversation?
- Slow down
- Replace it by dragging words out a bit

Afraid of eye contact?
- Look once
- Replace ‘avoiding’ their eyes with ‘focusing’ on their words. Listen closely, eye contact will flow

I lied when I said 2

There’s one more.

Not possible for everyone to do.

But it’s 100% why I haven’t bit my nails in a years.

3. Imagination & Perspective.

Picture yourself & how you look

- Potential investor watches you sucking your finger.
- Possible lover watches your eyes dart like a scared deer.

This isn’t your best self.

Present yourself like you’re in control of you mind & body.

@Haessian is a talented artist.
We talk of flow state.
Being in 'the zone.'

These habits keep you from that.
Your brain is acting on them - not your genius ideas.
Channel nervous energy into productivity.
