The easiest thing I’ve done is quit smoking, and here’s why – I found out my own personal reason. You want to know how?

This works when you want to make a change in your life, and changing is hard.

Like smoking – I knew it was bad, and I knew it for years, but somehow, I always made up the tales that helped me keep going.

I told myself comfortable lies – it helps me relax (the opposite of course is true), we all need a vice (we don’t), it’s forcing me taking a break (I wasn’t working that hard in the first place).

Of course I tried quitting, but I knew there’s always an out – unspoken, and so I have always snuck in through the back door.

And there was one moment – I went for a walk during lunch break, and ran out of smokes.

It was a cold day, and I had my hands in my pockets, just trying to get warm.

I was itching to go buy a packet, this craving was driving me on…

And that’s when I felt it within me – I don’t want to have an addiction.

What if I end up on a deserted island, alone with a craving, and not craving food, drinking water, but this drug?!

No! Enough. I will do it NO MORE.

And that was my reason – I never touched another cigarette, not after twelve years of packet a day…

I have never looked back because the reason has always been true – I just found it.

It wasn’t the willpower, but the right intention with true reason behind that brought this to life, and that I believe is the secret:

Not making up reasons, or forcing yourself – it never works long term, but spending the time to uncover true reason to stop. Start. Keep going. Do what you need to do to feel progress!

And proud of yourself.

My friend, is there something that you need to do so you can move forward, and make change for you, on your terms?

This might be the right time to journal, reflect on what really drives you, what you truly care for, your reason for making things right!

I believe in you, I believe you can change, I believe you can do this on your terms, right now!!

It’s taking the time to uncover your reason, connect with it, and keep in your heart:

You’ve got this! For more on making the change, tune in to the podcast:
