Hi ! Some persons have got such kind of habit which is compulsive. You do not have to develop anxiety which will rather aggravate the situation. One good way to overcome this is to try diverting this energy of yours into a positive situation like you can join piano/guitar/drum classes and some day you can earn from your habit which you are worried about. All the best.
