Well, haven't used this site in awhile. Fell back into my old picking ways. Quit for many months!!! So I know I can do it again. Trying to create a new habit instead of picking (this journal). I am going to do my best to think positive thoughts. I am going to keep track of my picking free days and try to discover what is was, that kept me from picking. Trying not to think of what is was that caused skin picking.
There are a few places on my body I pick. So I am going to stay conscious of each (face, chest, and back).
Today I covered up the lower half of my bathroom mirror with lipstick art. It is almost impossible to see through the lipstick to my skin. I am still able to see my hair and do my make-up only when standing on my tip toes. This isn't a permanent solution but is will do for now. When I can have seven days of pick free days I will erase some of the lipstick and continue this until it has all been erased.
My pick free day starts now at 5:00 and I will log in tomorrow at approximately the same time to log my progress. Hope others will join in this strategy. Remember any habit can be broken by creating another one. Make sure its a healthier choice!!
