Q: No matter how much you crack your knuckles, if you want to stop, then behavioral therapy techniques are the way to go. In other words, cracking your knuckles is a behavior, so it is possible to use behavioral techniques to change your behavior. Simplifying a little, there are two basic forms of behavioral therapy: positive and negative. Positive behavioral therapy includes techniques like reward systems: Set goals and give yourself (or your loved one) a reward for meeting those goals. Negative techniques include minor punishments or other reminders to make the person aware of their habit, so they can stop. There are as many kinds of these techniques as there are people who would offer advice. Give your hands something else to do, other than knuckle cracking. Learn to twirl a pencil or a coin, for example. Aspiring magicians practice moving a coin through, over, and around the fingers of one hand without touching anything else. A pen or pencil works too. This exercise is truly good for anyone at any age. Developing finger strength, coordination,and manual dexterity can be fun too as you master a new skill rather than hurt yourself. Some kind of hobby that keeps your hands (and mind) busy is probably an excellent idea like drawing, writing, or arts and crafts. The single most classic behavioral method is to wrap a rubber band around your wrist. When you notice you are about to crack your knuckles pull back on the rubber band and release, so it snaps back onto your skin. The slight sting you feel may help you to break your habit, as you may eventually come to associate your knuckle cracking with pain. If the rubber band method doesn't appeal to you, there are several other things you can do to curb your cracking habit: Carry a small hand lotion around with you in your pocket or purse. When you feel the urge to pop your knuckles, get out the lotion and rub it on your hands. This will give you something to do with your hands, while also leaving them soft and moisturized! Have a friend put tape around your "knocking knuckles" or tape your fingertips to your palm to make a fist. Put socks on your hands while watching television or doing other activities that don't require the use of your hands. Keep a pen/pencil in your hand to prevent cracking or "strumming" your fingers.
A: Understand behavioral therapy. Keep your hands busy. Take up a new hobby. Use the rubber band method. Use other preventative methods.

Q: A trendy scarf wrapped around your neck looks chic while protecting you against any chilly autumn breezes. There are many styles to choose from, including bucket hats, newsboy caps, and fedoras. Try on a few different styles until you find one that compliments the shape of your face. Once you find a style that works for you, look for one made of a heavier material, like wool or tweed. Small purses with dainty straps work better in the warmer seasons. Large shoulder bags with chunky straps look especially stylish in the fall and winter, since they coordinate more effectively with heavier knit clothing and boots. Gold tones are warmer than silver tones and match better with the browns, reds, and oranges commonly associated with fall. Look for necklaces with big, chunky beads in coral, red, or dark olive green. Consider chunky dangle bracelets in dark brown or orange. Jewelry can be used to add a splash of color to any outfit, regardless of the season.
A:
Try a fashion scarf. Wear a fashion hat. Carry a big bag. Think gold tone jewelry. Wear jewelry that uses other trendy autumn colors.
