Anyone know how to quit knuckle Cracking?

Why do you want to stop?

 

Same. I lost my ability to Crack my knuckles because I constantly did it but I'm still cracking my fingers.

 

Because it can form into an addiction of sorts for people, especially if it's something you've done since you were a wee child. Not to mention the forceful impact has been shown to wear down your ligaments and cause other problems like arthritis for some folks.

 

^That's truth

 

I've gotten it down a lot better than before, I'd crack each joint and move to the next one. It became a compulsion especially when I felt they needed to be cracked, but I still have issues around cracking them.

Ingrained behaviours are really hard to change, and you can do that one any time you want without repercussions unlike pmo in terms of being caught.

 

"Some tips that might help you break the habit:

• Think about why you crack your knuckles and address any underlying issues.
• Find another way to relieve stress, such as deep breathing, exercise or meditation.
• Occupy your hands with other stress relievers, such as squeezing a stress ball or rubbing a worry stone.
• Become aware of each time you crack your knuckles and consciously stop yourself.
• Wear a rubber band on your wrist and snap it whenever you’re about to crack your knuckles."

 

1 second google search but you're welcome mate

 

Now you have me imagining a whole website dedicated to people who want to stop cracking their knuckles. I bet it’d be called “NoCrack.”

Maybe it’s already taken though by another sort of addict haha!
