TOUCH THE SCREEN

Having a craving? Run your fingers over these words:

I CAN DO THIS. I AM DOING THIS. I CAN QUIT. I AM QUITTING. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Then take a BIG deep breath... and do it again and again until the craving passes!

This is just a little sample of self programming to build positive thoughts and help you quit. Staring into the computer screen to do this can't hurt either. The bright light can have a hypnotizing effect on us (no scientific data to support that, just first hand experience with screen coma... LOL)

This is GREAT! And reminds us to hang onto our senses of humor. Sense of humors? Senses of humors. Humorous senses!

Christine,

You are too funny. Love the positive post!

I use the technique often although with slightly different words. I found it helps too chase away the urge before I have a chance to obsess over it - just seems to make my life easier when I don't allow my thoughts to dwell on it.
