What is a really good way mindful to stop bitting fingernails?

I don't want to do it but I find myself doing it anyway and not even realizing it.

Bad habits are hard to break - period. It'll take time. You need to take small steps at first and recognize those small victories. For example, give yourself a treat after going half-a-day without biting. Alternatively, cut your nails short so you can't bite them.

The only way I was able to stop biting my nails was to dip my fingernails in a finger nail polish remover. It had the most awful taste. It stopped by bad habit within a week.

If you are a woman I'd get drugstore nails and glue them on, that way you can't bite threw plastic. If not, dip them in lemon juice.

Put thumb sucking medicine on the finger nails. It tastes bad, so it discourages nail biting. It is also cheap and available at many pharmacies and baby sections of the grocery store.
