Undoing Who You Are To Be Who You Want To Be

You can let go of the person you used to be and become the person you WANT to be!

I am learning, albeit slowly, that it's time to reject my perfectionist ways. If the "old"  Nancy put up Christmas decorations that were not perfectly centered, or the lights on a tree weren't evenly spaced, I HAD to fix them,,,,,,,,,I just did. Now, I am finding good enough really is GOOD ENOUGH! If I had work planned for the day, I would reject an offer to go out to lunch. I don't do that either anymore. I used to be a smoker, too, and now I'm not.

Quitting smoking can be the beginning of becoming that new person. It's quite a journey and one well worth taking! Who will YOU become? It can be exciting to find out!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
