I�m excited to see you Janet! :) Longtime no type girl! You are having the thourges huh? [b]�Thourges�[/b] (N2k vocabulary for �thought-urges�). Which one are you having the Brain Breeze or the Wandering Mind? -The BRAIN BREEZE quickly blows past you like wind blowing pages of an open book. -The WANDERING MIND is the WAYWARD WIND. If you allow yourself to drift you can easily end up in the nicodemon�s play ground. (Yes, I am making these titles up as I go ;) but it�s based on truth. It�s My perception of reality so humour me~lol) In either case it helps me to immediately ask myself: -Why right here, right now? -Where is the trigger? I go into Columbo (detective) mode and my thoughts focus on the source. Sometimes the source is easy to spot. (U smell someone smoking, you just finished a chore, etc. and you simply tell yourself �Oh. there it is! Okay.) Other times it takes more analysis. I have noticed sometimes the brain breezes occur when �some thing� is ABOUT to happen. It takes me awhile to figure out which �emotion� my brain thinks it needs to suppress. That�s really the core of it. It can be anything. (hunger, self-pity, frustration, stress, anger, happiness) Shevie�s allergic reaction to smog manifesting itself as a drawn out low level crave is another great example. The (ex) smoker�s brain wants to do what it has always done. Alert you to smoke for what ails you. *Darth Vader Voice* "ONE LUKE, JUST SMOKE ONE!" We outsmart our brain when we do what you are already doing so well. [u]We just don't smoke.[/u] Rewarding ourselves for it (Like Katy says~lol) helps the brain to heal faster. (That's my take on it anyway. Keep in my I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. :eg:) Janet~ [u]Thank you[/u] for dropping by two of my places earlier! I�m telling you here so that I can bump your stuff instead of mine. [i]�I believe�[/i] head strong reformed smoking couch potatos make it!
