Hello, its kinda simple what I'm asking.
It all started when my son was born and the lack of sleep began. I have started to tense my eyes, i will either tense them or screw them up. Its almost as if they ache.
As a child i always had habits, i would stretch my mouth open thus giving me sore lips and what not. But as for the tensing/screwing up of my eyes. Sometimes i can stop doing it but i dont know how i do it. my eyes are starting to feel tender now. Does anyone have any advice? Is it normal?

    Habit = Cue -> Routine -> Reward
    Eyes ache -> Tense them up -> Ache relief

    You can't change the cue or reward of a habit, but you can change the routine. First you have to be aware of the cue. Then you have to do a different routine, like blinking twice, to get your relief.

    This is how you can program good habits and alleviate bad ones.

      How must she do that with tense eyes?

      She needs intensive care.
