I sooooooo Identify with you!
OMG that feeling of boredom, what now, okay I've done this when will it be different and on and on and on.
THIS BOREDOM CHANGES.
Give yourself lots and lots and lots of acknowledgment. You have got through 98 days, you have made huge strides to getting a new smoke free life.
REWARDS these are huge, they got me through. I am not talking about chocolate, or another candy or a great meal, or even a pie, I am talking about doing something healthy and constructive for yourself. Bubble baths and nice body lotions were great for me. I have a sauna and I would go in in the middle of the summer and sweat myself to dropping.
ACTIVITY, get going for a brisk walk, playing and getting your heart rate up to get your system pumping, you might be surprised at how well this might work, (please be aware and check with your Doctor first before you go out and do this and trust to consult with your Doctor who will perhaps be able to give you some physical activities and guidance here).
DAYLIGHT, be aware of how much time you spend in clear light help yourself to as much daylight and natural light as you can, this can help shift your mood.
INVENTORY, know and remind yourself about how much you are giving to yourself, your family and your community by being smoke free, by giving yourself the gift of life.
Push comes to shove ride the rails bare knuckled and get yourself through. Smoking will not change this and getting over this hump will get you closer and closer to live life without smoke.
Cheers
Phillip
