Your attitude will largely determine the daily results of your quit.
I got some junk email about "positive thinking." Some items hit home. So, I edited them to fit KTC...newbies, in particular.
1. Life is a story...make yours a positive one. You may not be able to change the past, but you can influence the outcome. You control your thoughts and actions right now.
2. Model yourself after success. Look at all of the quitters in the Quit Groups. What do they all have in common? If you can see their names, they all posted roll today and are living free. If they can succeed, so can you. So post roll, live free and be an example for someone else. There is strength in numbers.
3. Replace "have to" with "get to." This simple word swap can change your attitude. Turns a complaining voice into an appreciative voice. Acknowledge that life is a gift - not an obligation. You GET to feel this crappy because you made a GREAT choice to be free. ItÂ’s physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time (probably...I'm not a doctor).
4. Talk to Yourself instead of Listening to Yourself. You're an addict. Don't let an addict tell you hat you can have one more. Take control. You tell yourself that you posted roll and gave your word. THERE WILL BE NO NICOTINE TODAY.
5. Create a positive vision. Embrace the suck. Instead of being disappointed about where you are, or feeling sorry for yourself, make the decision to be pumped about where you are going.
6. No more complaining. When you realize youÂ’re about to complain, replace your thoughts and words with positive actions. Log on and encourage others, exercise, drink water, declare your freedom. Turn complaints into solutions.
(There were about 9 items in the article I'm plagiarizing...but these seemed to be to be the most helpful. You get the idea.) Hope this helps!
