Yes,  there are times we think about smoking, but it may only last for a few moments or just seconds. Sometimes we even wonder how or why it came into our thoughts. But recognize this: no matter what,  we are in control.  Know that we can flip that switch and think of something else, do something else, be something else, know something else.  We can be better in all areas of our lives with just a flip of the swtich.

All the things we have put off doing we can take action. We are in control. Not nicotine, not procrastination, not lack of motivation, or determination.  We are the winners. All the things we placed on the back burner.  Do it! Take Action, Do Something.  Plant the flower, play an instrument, try a new craft, a sport, write a poem, a song, exercise, spend time with a love one, read a book,  whatever it is, take "action".  Don't waste anymore time idolizing, fantazing over "it". 

We are non smokers and enough time and thought has been spent on smoking, FLIP THAT SWITCH.   I know you can do it it  only takes 2 seconds or less.  Someone may say" easier said than done"  I say, "practice makes perfect."  Try it....Flip the Swich!    You are in control do something else, think of something else. Be a non smoker.

 What is it you haven't  done that you want to do? Name it! Claim it!  Put it on your take "action" list. Get started.  Just "Flip the Switch!  I just purchased a musical keyboard and I am going to practice playing.

What are you going to do?
