How To Stop Cracking Your Knuckles
A little knuckle cracking can loosen up the joints, but too much of it can cause health problems later on. So, if you're an obsessive cracker, learn how to stop.
Step 1: Stop and Think
It's a habit. It's unconscious. You need to make it conscious. Ask friends to help. Every time you do it, look down at your hands and think about what you're doing. You'll trick your brain into thinking before you act.
Step 2: Positive Reinforcement
Anytime you want to crack your knuckles but don't, congratulate yourself. You'll get used to feeling good.
Step 3: Commit
You'll never break any bad habits if you don't know the meaning of perseverance. You can't give up. It's going to take time. Don't beat yourself up when you do it
