Wow … I knew I wasn’t alone but I never thought this would be on 43Things! I’ve had this habit for as long as I can remember. I find it to be a figety habit – it isn’t a sign of OCD or anxiety disorders – that is no more weird than tapping your feet, just more destructive. The only thing I have found to help is chewing gum – it gives my mouth something to do but I still find myself chewing the inside of my mouth so this isn’t working too well. I’ve tried to make myself stop, but it is such a strong habit and one that is quite unconsciously done that I don’t know how to make myself stop.

Save your change (pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters) and get at least one massage a year.

I joined a gym two years ago while writing my Master’s Thesis mainly to burn off stress and the atrophy-esque feeling in my legs after a day of writing at the computer. I lost 15 pounds in the first 2 months and have essentially maintained that weight while also building muscle. For the first time in my life I have visible muscles in my arms and I truly enjoy exercising. My current goal is to increase my running time, which is currently at it’s highest of 8 minutes before needed to slow down to a walk.
