For my evaluation, i am really happy because i could see my behavior changed. My first three weeks were a failure but i caught up and i successfully changed my habits. I think, punishment is my the key to my habits. I successfully stop biting nails by putting bitter nail polish to my nails.
I think, i paid really closed attention to my behavior because i have to put this to my blog. So, making a blog online really helps me to really did this.
If i want this to be long termed, i will have to put bitter nail polisher for now till probably next month and when I am used to it, i will not use it anymore because i will be used to it by then.
The most challenging aspect of this assignment is sometimes i forgot to post comments to other people's blogs.
The most valuable thing of this assignment is that I changed my behavior. I stop biting my nails and I successfully made my dream come true by having nice and healthy nails.
Yes, I agree in that sometimes punishments can be the most effective. They worked in your program and they also did a lot for me. So now we know that operant conditioning has many chances of succeeding with just the use of punishments which is great.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you! And I think you could wear the nail polish for as long as you need to until NOT biting your nails becomes the habit. The important things is have results that last a long time, not how quickly you reach your goal. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Christine!Glad you became successful in stopping your nail biting! I have a friend who also stopped biting her nails and now shes wearing nail polish all the time and decorating them and making them look really pretty! I hope that this continues for you because it is healthier not to bite them and the habit can really deteriorate them and keep them brittle when you need them, like for opening cans of soda or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future!
