~~Be filled with wonder, be touched by peace.~~ Unknown
From the moment you decide to quit smoking, let the wonder of life keep you focused on all that's good. All that's miraculous. All that's possible.
And that includes seeing yourself as you truly are. Brave. Resilient. Remarkable.
Because you are, truly, a miracle. You may not think so right now but really think about it. No one sees things quite the way you do. No one understands the world in the way you do. No one brings quite the joy...the delight...the happiness that you bring to life.
Be filled with the wonder of life. The colors....the breath....the pulse of life. Each spark of laughter. Each warm glow of comfort. Each gentle moment.
Don't fight your quit. Don't fight yourself. Quitting is a choice and you know you've chosen well. So flow with the wonder of quitting. The beautiful aromas....the breathtaking joys....the pretty little moments of sheer happiness.
Remember that your choice will bring to you nothing....absolutely nothing.....but good. Positive. Wonderful. Delightful. There is no bad in quitting, other than what you convince yourself of. So stop trying to convince yourself that you've made a bad choice. Find peace in your quit. You know that it's there, just on the other side of addiction. Peace of mind. Peace of spirit. Peace that will envelop you in a warmth so relaxing that you will wonder why you didn't quit sooner.
Life will bring you pain again and stress and loss and anger and all those negative things you used to smoke your way through. But now, after your quit, all those negative things CAN be a source of wonder as you go get through them with strength, with courage, with wisdom instead of with a cigarette. You will keep peace in your heart as the storms rage around you because you know these things will pass. Without you hurting yourself with a cigarette.
So find the wonder. Be touched by peace. And honor your choice because you've chosen well.
