New Development
So over the past month or so I've put facts together and come up with a solution for this picking/pulling problem. The solution? Hypnosis. There's a program called 7th Path [you can research it online] that is basically a virus-removal system for the mind, body, and spirit, and I'm going to use it...

Two days in to my no-pluck, no-pick challenge.
It's NOTHING like taking a hiatus from myspace. It's much harder. With myspace, you can keep yourself from signing on [just don't make it your homepage; I had three close calls that way - all I had to do is put in my password and I was in; thankfully I resisted]. But picking and plucking I've done...

I am going...
...To challenge myself to a no-pick, no-pluck, 45-day hiatus like I did with Myspace [105 days] so I can kick these habits. Instead of plucking or picking, I'll do positive things to distract my hands; I'll meditate to distract my mind. I've picked and plucked for way too long, and I'm over it. But...

My heart still beats, and I'm still breathing.
Over the past twenty-four hours, I made a major breakthrough in the path to healing. I’ve figured out a big part of what lead me to where I am today, and now I have a lot of work to do. The first step of taking care of a problem is acknowledging that you have a problem. Okay. I did that. I know what...

I think I'm beginning to understand why I pull and pick.
I stumbled across a book today about self-injury, and it draws a line between self-injury and childhood trauma. That hit a nerve - I was bullied in school, starting in second grade, then again in fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth grades. All those years I experienced verbal, physical and emotional...

Today is August 1st.
With a new month comes new goals, first and foremost being my goal to stop pulling and picking. This is MY month for success, and it all starts with this one goal. Now the question is how I plan to achieve it. For starters: 1. The one thing I can do everyday to work towards this goal is to make the...

You can't go forward if you're going backwards.
I've been slipping this week. That urge comes and I take no action to deny it. Darn me and this disorder. I AM THE DISORDER. I probably could have solved this problem a long time ago if I'd taken time to look within myself and figured out that I was my own enemy by allowing myself to pick, pull, and...

Indeed, it is.
Positive affirmations are going to make some HUGE differences in my life. I can already feel the changes shining through, and I'm just getting started. I know there are so many more to come in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Life is grand, my dears.

Walkin' the trich away.
I took a walk after work yesterday, and I'm so glad I did it. It gave me some time to reflect on my life and learn how to get that life in balance. According to Wayne Dyer, stress – and all that comes with stress – does not exist. There is no such thing as anxiety attacks. It’s a figment of our...

The clock keeps ticking...
...but there's still no plucking or picking. Yayness on many levels! I like the way this new mindset is treating me. The best part is that if it continues to work well for Trich, I can only imagine what it will do in the other parts of my life. I think a whole new life is coming in my direction. I...
