Welcome once again to the EX Community's special series on building a comprehensive Quit Kit. This week, we'll explore a critical aspect of quitting that often goes overlooked: your mental state. Your mindset can be a strong shield against cravings for tobacco and vaping, and that's precisely what our Mental Reinforcements graphic aims to help you with.
Mental reinforcements are strategies. They are designed to give you some ideas for coping with triggers, stress, or the urge to smoke/vape when you normally did. These mental tools span a range of options, from affirmations to phone numbers of friends who've got your back.
So, what should you do with this graphic? You could keep it as a note in your phone or print it out for a spot on your bulletin board. You might start your own list in your Notes app, journal, or EX Plan about your own coping ideas, inspired by these. The idea is to have immediate access to these reinforcements when you're in a tough spot.
The journey to a smoke-free life is not just a physical challenge but a mental one as well. Harness the power of your mind to remain steadfast on your path. Download the Mental Reinforcements graphic, share it, and let's keep the conversation going in the EX Community.
Big thanks go out to our community members. Your input forms the backbone of this Quit Kit, serving as a well of wisdom that has helped countless people on their journeys to a healthier life.
