"Unfinished Business"

New Years Resolutions?  I really don't care to make them.  I am evaluating areas of my life that need improvement. Today as I am moving around the house I notice several things that I need to do.  Things that I have put off.  I usually keep a to do list.  Lately, I haven't.  I notice things from 2017 left undone. Things that I said I was going to do and haven't.   As I looked at the pile of paperwork, small projects, crafts, unread books, magazines etc,  "unfinished" my mind compared it with the thought; if you have not quit yet it is "unfinished business".  I will say it plainly, "Not quitting is definitely unfinished business".  I thought of those who have relapsed and haven't found their way back on track. 

To those who have not initiated a plan, made preparation or have not set quit date, it is "unfinished business".  It is something we all must do to have a healthier and better life style.   It is a cloud constantly hanging over your head.  It is that weight on your shoulder that needs to be lifted.  Quitting smoking is not easy but it can be done.  Quitting smoking will become one of the most beautiful parts of living if you just get started. 

To those who have made a resolution to quit smoking do not let this year go by with "unfinished business" as so many of us have done in the past.   I plead with you. If you have relapsed to get back on track, set a date, get started before it is too late. You already know that your life depends upon it.  If this note strikes a cord with you do not allow  (EXcuses) to cause your quit to be "unfinished business".  Start now and make it one day at a time.  Quitting is so doable especially  with the support of EX but you have to take the first step to get your "business finished".

Happy New Year again.  1077 DOF

Lay aside every weight that may be slowing you down. Make up your mind not to allow doubt cause you to stumble. You can do this! Do not allow fear , False Expectations Appearing Real to hold you down. You can do this! Break the chains of addiction, forgive yourself for ever smoking. move forward and start loving yourself more each day by staying smokefree. Put aside worry, anxiety, depression, any EXcuse that you would use to not get in or stay in the race of freedom. Take one day at a time, one step if necessary. Run the race diligently, steady and sure with endurance. Believe that you can. Keep your eye on the prize. Hang tough, stay close, be mindful, never give in, never give up.
