Praise yourself and others. Dream of succes. Be enthousiastic Control Keep your mind focused on important things. Set goals and priorities.Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Learn to relax. Enjoy success, be honest with yourself. Challenge Be courageous. Change and improve each day. Do your best and don't look back. See learning and change as an opportunity to grow. Meet new people, ask questions. Be optimistic Commitment control and challenge help build self-esteem and promote positive thinking. I wish this for all of us (((Hugs))) Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 121 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,829 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $484 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 4 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Hi Marie, Thank you for sharing. It is a very true post. Just like N2K said, you cannot be [i]happy-happy, joy-joy[/i] all of the time. But I have found, for me, that embracing it makes it much easier. Whatever life throws at me, I try to find the positive. Sometimes I venture the wrong way, but I do find my way back. It is less exhausting this way! 4my2girls [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 222 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,673 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $725.94 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 35 [B]Seconds:[/B] 38

No matter how hard we try, no one can be [i]happy-happy, joy-joy[/i] ALL the time. *except for my dog, ha!* However, happiness is a function of accepting what is and Mark Twain once said, [i]"the best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up."[/i] Ya know, I was just saying on another thread. If you�re going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now, huh?
